Friends Airbnb profiles

[Lenore22]

As a guest for an upcoming stay, I entered the contact info for the other guests on our stay and some have an Airbnb profile. Is there a way to view their profile?

Hi @Lenore22 🙂

As the booker of the trip you can add you friends to the booking (those who already got an Airbnb account). You can do that via the booking confirmation - there is a link or something. You will need your friends emails and they will receive an email from you - via Airbnb - that they have to accept. When they do that they are linked to the trip as guests with their Airbnb accounts.

Thanks for the reply @Sandra856 ! I've actually added all the guests, but I can't seem to click on them and see their profiles as I would when I'm a host. Is there a way for us to see who we are adding to our reservation as a guest?

@Lenore22 No, you can't view their profiles. Not sure why Airbnb doesn't give access to this. I have experienced this many times when booking with groups on Airbnb.

@Emilia42 thanks. That is a bummer. It seems like it would help the community develop itself. (If your acquaintance has low reviews, you could at least understand that it might make it hard to make a reservation. Or you could help an inexperienced friend with Airbnb.)

Let me clarify, the host you are booked with can see all the profiles if you link them to the reservation. But you, as a guest, cannot see your traveling companion's profiles.
