How to change my listing so it is female only guests

We offer female accommodation services, and we have a few listings on AirBNB but I am finding a few male guests wanting to book in.

 

I have included in the title and body that it is female specific accommodation, and also in the house rules that it is only for women, but I still have male guests trying to book.

 

One male traveller mentioned that I will need to edit my selection preferences, but I have no idea how to do this, could someone help me out?

 

Thanks.

There is currently no way to automatically filter for "female only" listings. The guest MUST read the descriptions to know these things. I actually understand why some female hosts want to host female guests only - especially if the listing has a shared bathroom. 

I do not think this is sexist in any way, and it is allowed by Airbnb if there are shared living spaces.

To clarify the option is to restict booking to someone of the same gender where you share the listing.

 

Nothing per se to do with women.

In the US and Canada, if a host is sharing the home, they may specify guests by sex. This means that if a male host wants to accommodate only males, they can. Same with females. 

 

This should be clear in the title, description and rules.

 

If a host has a partner of the opposite sex, and occasional opposite sex visitors, this should also be included. 

 

If the posting is on IB, and a male guest books, this would be in violation of the rules and they can be cancelled without penalty.

 

Sometimes there are occasional situations where there are multiple rooms and a previous opposite sex frequent flyer or an emergency pops up. I would be inclined to take a consensus of existing guests.

I have gay (male) friends who only offer to gay guests. I think there is a specific site for that. I will try to find out.
