  >Airbnb’s rules allow cameras outdoors and in living rooms and common areas, but never in bathrooms or anywhere guests plan to sleep jeez, didn't realize I should expect to have hidden cameras on me everywhere in an airbnb besides toilet/bed without recourse. and that it's fine for these cameras to be located in a living room with view of bedroom interiors. have to treat everything outside your bedroom or toilet door as being out in public...

    They have to declare any cameras, but they're allowed to have them. If you go somewhere and there's an undeclared camera, its against AirBnB rules, and likely government laws too (depending in jurisdiction).

      The article says that a “declaration” can be satisfied by having the cameras within the frame of any photos in the listing. So you’re taking their word at face value for what they mean by declaring cameras.

        Forget the article, AirBnBs actual rules say “Any device monitoring a common space should be installed in a visible manner and disclosed in the listing description.” So I hidden camera that is technically within frame of normal photos is not installed visibly and certainly not disclosed in the description.

          You’re more concerned with the letter of their policy than how they execute on it in practice
