Airbnb house rules examples and a free template, plus tips for writing rules guests follow and the best place to display them so they actually get read.
House rules protect your property, your neighbors and your reviews. But rules only work if guests actually see them. Most guests skim the listing, agree to the rules when booking and forget them by arrival.
Here are Airbnb house rules examples, a template you can copy and the best ways to make sure guests notice them.

Put them in three places: the listing, the check-in message and inside the home. Inside the home is where most hosts fall short. A binder in a drawer does not count.
WelcomeScreen shows your house rules on the TV next to a personal welcome, WiFi and check-out steps, so guests see them the moment they walk in. It is a friendly reminder rather than a sign on the door.
If parties are your biggest worry, read our guide on how to prevent Airbnb party risks.
At minimum: check-in and check-out times, guest limits, quiet hours, a no party rule and a smoking policy.
You can request payment for damage or extra cleaning through Airbnb's resolution process. Clear, visible rules make those claims easier.
