Overview of your profile

You can use your profile to help hosts and guests get to know you better as a person. It helps build trust with hosts you might want to stay with, or guests who are interested in staying at your place.

Where your profile is shown

Your profile info will be featured across Airbnb—in search, in reviews, and on listings, if you’re a host. Learn where else your profile information may appear.

What info is shown on your profile

The info shared varies whether you’re a host, guest, or both. But the info common to everyone is your first name, the number of years you’ve been on Airbnb, if your account information has been confirmed, like your identity or email, and any reviews you’ve given or received.

You can add optional info to your profile

While Airbnb automatically adds some basic information to your profile, any additional information you choose to add is optional. This means that how much info is included—like what languages you speak or your interests—is up to you.

Profile photos are optional for guests

While we encourage all users to have profile photos, we do require them for hosts. Guest profile photos will only be shown after a confirmed booking. Here’s more info about how to add or change your profile photo.

How your profile info is used

We use your profile information, like other personal information, in a manner consistent with our Privacy Policy.
