Here’s a helpful guide to Airbnb’s requirements for your property. Each requirement comes with a clear explanation, so you can easily review your listing and make any necessary adjustments before publishing.

1. Accommodation Description

  • A minimum of 50 characters is required in the Description field.

2. Listing Title

  • Must be between 8 and 50 characters. Titles longer than 50 characters will be automatically cut.

  • Emojis, symbols, and all-capital words are not allowed. The system automatically removes emojis and symbols and converts titles to sentence case to comply with Airbnb policies.

3. Photographs

  • At least 7 photos are required.

  • Minimum resolution: 1024 × 683 pixels.

  • Recommended resolution: 72 dpi.

4. Amenities

  • At least 5 amenities must be included.

5. Occupancy Rules

  • Must be configured for at least 1 year in advance.

6. Calendar Availability

  • At least 30 days must be available within a 12-month period.

  2. Select Accommodations from the menu on the left
