Is it legal to embed airbnb reviews on a website?

[Walter648]

Hello to everyone!

I am working on a website for a host who is on airbnb, I am wondering if anyone could point me to any sources or content regarding the legality of embedding airbnb reviews on their own site. Thanks for any direction and no I am not asking for legal advice 😉

I’m not a lawyer, but I know of a couple of popular direct-booking websites that will pull reviews in from Airbnb at the flick of a button. I would doubt that they would have built in this functionality if there were legal issues in doing so - but that’s just my assumption.

Thanks Pat, I know what you mean, I had the same thought (and I'm not an attorney, so this isn't legal advice), that if I can find all these tutorials online on how to do it and there are even wordpress widgets for the purpose then it "must" be fine, but that is just an assumption on my part too. The darn thing is, is that I can't find any info on the subject anywhere. 

Oh well, part of life I guess, Thanks Pat!

@Walter648 How is asking regarding the legality of something not asking for legal advice?

I'm not into defending my post here, to me it seems simple, but if you need advice, your attorney may be able to explain things.
