Question: If you get banned for Life from Airbnb - can you still use Airbnb through a 3rd party? What i mean is: can a friend/significant other book an Airbnb stay - then add you as their +1...so you can roll in as the +1 as opposed as the person who manages the reservation? I am not banned from Airbnb but I am curious...

Last time I used Airbnb, there was no adding people as a "+1" or anything. I booked a house with 5 beds and that was it. Airbnb would never know if it was just me or 15 of my closest friends. Has that changed?

  You can add the names and emails of the friends you're traveling with, both so they can receive a copy of the itinerary and so the host can see it. It's not required, though, and in my history with Airbnb the host never cared.

  When you book an Airbnb you can choose the number of guests that will be staying. The maximum Airbnb allows is 16 guests, but it’s up to the guest to set a limit. The most common I’ve seen have been 5-6 guests maximum. Also, most airbnbs I’ve used have had a ring doorbell, and in one case a security camera pointed at the front door. The ring doorbell will alert them whenever there is motion at the front door, and they’ll be able to see who is coming into the property. There’s also usually clauses in their “terms and conditions” that state if you have more people than was booked well charge you extra blah blah. Bottom line: if you run an Airbnb you’re going to make massive amounts of money and can essentially do whatever you want with it.

No, if they catch you they'll ban both accounts. They banned a conservative political activist's husband's account preemptively after banning her, https://news.yahoo.com/michelle-malkin-banned-airbnb-attending-025350482.html https://news.yahoo.com/michelle-malkin-banned-airbnb-attendi...
