Note that you can get a full refund if the host breaks these rules.
- nsajko 7y ago> we require hosts to disclose all security cameras and other recording devices in their listings, and we prohibit any security cameras and other recording devices that are in or that observe the interior of certain private spaces (such as bedrooms and bathrooms), regardless of whether they’ve been disclosed.
- learc83 7y agoBanning them only in bedrooms and bathrooms is insane. Common spaces aren't public spaces if you rent out the whole place. If you can't rent out your place without recording your renters, you dont need to be renting.
- ilikehurdles 7y agoA host's desire to reach some profit margin shouldn't stomp on my right to privacy. Hosts should get insurance, set a security deposit, increase prices, and/or vet guests better if they're incapable of trusting the people they invite into a home. Cameras have no place inside of residences.
- danesparza 7y agoI completely agree with you. My point in including the link to the help article is to point out that AirBnB is on the side of disclosure -- so you as a consumer can make that choice for yourself. Somehow, I don't think many hotels would be that transparent.
- learc83 7y agoYou think hotels put cameras in your room? AirBnB is on the side of disclosure for this specific problem, which isn't a problem in hotels unless someone is breaking the law.
