Do I need to provide house rules?

Clear house rules help guests, cleaners, and Aunty know what’s expected. Here’s what to include and why it matters.

Yes. We recommend every host provides a simple list of house rules.
This helps guests know what is expected and helps our team support you more effectively if issues come up.


📌 Why house rules matter

  • Guests are more likely to treat your space with care

  • Our team can refer back to your expectations if something needs to be addressed

  • If a guest breaks a rule, it’s easier to escalate through Airbnb


🧾 What to include

  • Guest limits or noise restrictions

  • Smoking, pets, or party policies

  • Check-in and checkout requirements

  • Any specific “do not touch” items or sensitive areas


💬 How we use them

If a guest pushes a boundary or something goes wrong, we can reference your rules when messaging them or filing a report.

Clear rules mean fewer grey areas.
Include your house rules in your Airbnb listing and let us know if you’d like them added to the guest guidebook.
