Guest under 18

[Lucy168]

Hello helpful hosters,

I have a booking from a 17 year old who has booked on behalf of her boyfriend who is going to be 19 during the stay. She is turning 18 a month after their stay. Is this ok that she has used her boyfriend's profile because she is not yet 18??

Many thanks

Lucy

@Lucy168 I'm not understanding: are they both staying, or only 1 person? No one should be booking on behalf of someone else or using someone else's profile to book: it's against the rules. If they will both be there, it's different, but if it's just her and she's using another person's profile, absolutely not. It sounds a bit suspicious anyways... I'd be getting red flags from this.

Hi, yes she will be staying too - its a gift for his birthday. She did tell me as I thought I was talking to her boyfriend!

Many thanks

A person under 18 with an airbnb account is violating the airbnb terms of service 

https://www.airbnb.com/terms  section 2.
