This analysis describes what Airbnb's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Guests bear legal responsibility for the conduct of their invitees, meaning a guest-caused incident by a third party invited by the Guest can be attributed to the Guest under these Terms.
Interpretive note: The excerpt establishes two related but independent propositions: the Guest's responsibility for their own acts and omissions, and their responsibility for invitees' acts and omissions. The canonical claim covers the invitee proposition as the primary legally notable effect. The self-responsibility proposition is recorded in omitted_material.
The updated Terms of Service no longer explicitly state that users must be at least 18 years old to book a reservation or host a place on Airbnb. Previously, this age requirement was stated as a binding community policy. The removal of this language creates operational uncertainty about Airbnb's age eligibility requirements and enforcement. While Airbnb's actual booking and hosting practices may not have changed, users can no longer point to an explicit contractual age restriction in the published terms.
