What doesn’t qualify as an Airbnb Experience

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:

  • Ticket sales
