Airbnb has clear policies on cameras, balancing the safety of hosts with the privacy of guests. According to the platform’s rules:
- Permitted areas for cameras: Hosts may place cameras in outdoor spaces, entrances, or shared common areas, such as living rooms or kitchens. These devices should be visible and disclosed in the property listing.
- Prohibited areas: Cameras are strictly forbidden in private spaces like bedrooms, bathrooms, or any areas where guests expect complete privacy.
Failure to disclose the presence of a camera or placing one in a prohibited area is a direct violation of Airbnb’s policies and can lead to severe consequences for the host.
