Are Airbnb Reviews public record that can be searched by your address?

I am just curious about the ramefications that could come if you sell your house. Are Airbnb reviews public record that can be searched by the home address? Will they show up on google searches?

hello @Tina341 ,

Your exact address is only exposed to guest with confirmed reservation. The listing itself has a "rough" location in it and also some description to recognize the accomodation, and can show up in external seach results (like Google), unless this "external" setting is turned off (option in your account). Typical external links are the listing itself and the users homepage. Reviews appear on both links. it's easy to see what shows up from Airbnb, by testing some searches regarding your listing.  Best regards, Emiel

Airbnb reviews are certainly public and if you google the title of your listing, it should turn up in first place if your title is somewhat unique, if it's something very generic like "nice big apartment" it will be somewhere in an endless list of "nice big apartment"s. The entire world can see this, so the question is, is there anything unique in your listing that they would be able to search by?

The public listing does not contain your address in written form unless you write it. So they won't be able to search by address as far as I know.

If you deactivate your listing google will eventually stop showing it in search results, but it will still be stored in internet archives or Google's own internet cache pages.
