How to change your host from business to Individual?

[Mischa31]

I am asking for this listing (Helping the host, who's not very native to the web): **

Would anybody know how to get the listing changed from "Hosted by a company" to "Hosted by a Peter".

1. Can a user even change do this? For example change account setting (For example, remove somewhere 'in Professional hosting tools' within webbrowser to remove certain information). 

2. Can this only be done by Airbnb support. 

I've browsed the web, yet can't find any clear answer (checked vids, forums, even tried the new genAI deepseek.) 

P.s. Much appreciation if someone in the community has the answer. AIrbnb support has been contacted thrice on this problem, yet weirdly does not provide a solution (information how to get to an answer). Seems that Airbnb support got outsourced, where incentives got misaligned (They're trying to finish chats as quick as possible, instead of providing the solution 'behind the question' why a clients asks a question).

Hi @Mischa31 

If I recall correctly Airbnb does not allow a direct switch from a business account to an individual account in the settings. Host need to contact Airbnb Support and request the change.

Thanks for answering! Was scared that this would be the only option. They've been contacted thrice... yet just do not do it. 

Happy at least got a conformation, but sad to say the host got a roadblock for a solution.

There isn't a listing attached to your profile @Mischa31

I think the listing should be in the ** (hyperlink seems to automatically shorten). 

I am helping a host. If true need be, can have him post here
