New guest count clarification

[Inna22]

Are we allowed 16 people on the reservation or on the property? I often have a family of let’s say 10 in town for a wedding wanting to host another 10 for brunch. The house is big and I am generally ok with. Does the new rule mean I can not allow it anymore.

@Inna22,

No, you cannot authorize a gathering of more than 16 people at your listing, and still abide by Airbnb's party policy: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2704/party-and-events-policy

In this excerpt from the policy, I bolded and italicized the text that would pertain to you and your listing:

• Parties at single-family homes

  Until further notice, gatherings of more than 16 people at single-family homes are not allowed, regardless of host authorization.

  We trust hosts in single-family homes to set rules for small gatherings (fewer than 16 people) that are appropriate for their communities and consistent with local health authority restrictions on gatherings.

@Debra300 thank you for the link. Did you get it emailed to you? Only briefly saw someone mention it and then googled a video by the woman who is head of hosting but did not get any rules sent to me
