COVID-19 safety guidance and support
To help protect the health of our community, we’ve partnered with experts to create safety practices for everyone, plus a cleaning process for hosts.
Requirements for all guests
To give hosts peace of mind, we offer guest identification and let you check out reviews of guests before they book. Our new Guest Standards Policy sets higher expectations for behaviour.
