Airbnb welcomes many different kinds of Experiences as long as they demonstrate expertise, insider access, and connection. Popular, 5-star Experiences are often interactive activities hosted by locals, in which guests can truly feel connected to a Host and gain insight into their world. Activities in which a Host is merely providing transactional services do not meet our Experiences standards and requirements.
The below activities may be considered transactional services and are typically ineligible to be published on Airbnb as Experiences. Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive and may be subject to change:
Agent, brokerage, and sales services: Hosts selling or brokering goods or services
Childcare services: Activities specifically designed for minors (Note: Minors may not participate in Experiences without the supervision of a parent or consenting guardian)
Business services: Hosts advising or counseling guests on legal or business decisions based on personal or professional experience
Financial consulting: Hosts providing advice on money management
Healthcare consulting: Hosts performing medical procedures and appointments
Pet care: Hosts providing animal care without participation by such animal’s owner or caretaker
Rentals: Hosts facilitating or providing rental goods or service reservations
Transportation services: Experiences where the primary purpose is carriage and movement of goods or passengers
