Taking holiday pictures and videos not allowed in airbnb?

Can host prohibit afterwards (hasn't been mentioned in house rules or anywhere else) me from showing my holiday pictures and videos that I've taken in an airbnb apartment that I rented? I never tell the address nor the name of the owner anyway, or take pictures of private/non-listed areas! Now I'm supposedly not allowed to take any pictures inside the apartment or of the view from windows!

Since you are in a private home, @Ilta0, it would be best to gain approval from the host to include interior pictures or videos.  Unlike a hotel, this is a private residence.  You and I would have never thought that this would be an issue, but I have seen postings from hosts in which there was abuse by guests in taking pictures and videos. There has even been abuse of guests shooting pornographic films in host's homes!!  Who knew?

 

Perhaps the hosts is just being overly-cautious and you can provide some comfort to them.  However, basically, the host can have rules about their space without violating any Air BNB terms.

 

Good question!
