I have a couple, both 17 who want to book the apartment with me. Both are 17 years Young, can I do that? And what about insurance if something breaks?

Probably not prohibited, but since minors are not yet fully legally competent, the parents could subsequently cancel the booking. Let the parents book for the children, then you are on the safe side.

Of course it is forbidden, since you are not allowed to book for third parties and minors are not allowed to be members according to the terms and conditions

No. Airbnb says: "In order to use our site and our services, you must be at least 18 years old. This means that you cannot create a guest or host account if you are under 18." more

Let the parents (i.e. #Third) book, but also does not work: "That is why we assume that every Airbnb booking is made by one of the people who will start the trip and will stay overnight at the accommodation." more

An unsolvable problem. If you let the #youths stay overnight, you have no #insurance coverage. I would leave it at that. Problems are often reported in the US groups.

Yes, that’s exactly how I see it. Then I’ll probably have to cancel the two: /

The question arises how the # minors could even ask. To do this, they would have to have opened an account with incorrect information, without #verification.

I would keep hands off that. At the very beginning of our rentals, we had a girl here who booked through her mother’s account. She claimed she was 18. Later it turned out she was 16. She was completely dependent and devastated the kitchen and her room.
Airbnb then reports to her mother and clarifies everything else. However, it costs us nerves and time and since then we insist that the one who is our guest books.

@ Mark-and-Timo0 Airbnb also forbids # third party bookings not without reason, but insanely good-natured that they regulated it anyway! I am always jittery that something is going wrong, especially with children (i.e. children are traveling with parents), so I try to act as strictly as possible without disturbing anyone.

I have had underage guests many times and therefore no problem. However, I insist that I have contact with the parents beforehand and that they have a so-called "mom slip for travel" Bring me who will protect me and make the parents liable if the children do damage. For that reason alone, my guests were always SUPER good. :))

The whole thing looks something like this:

As you are under 18:

1.) you should have "Authorization for underage person to travel".

(this is a general one which you should have with you during your trip).

2.) The following is for myself:

Declaration of consent and release of the duty of supervision

Name, address and telephone number of the legal guardian:
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

Name and address of the young person:
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

I hereby release (host name) from any duty of supervision during the stay
from ________ to ____________ in the accommodation (address accommodation).

In the event of an accident of my aforementioned child or personal injury or property damage caused by my child, I take full responsibility for the damage and its consequences.

Furthermore, I expressly waive any request to (host name). No responsibility is therefore transferred to (host name).

With my signature I agree to the trip.
I know it and me accept that (host name) assumes no liability.

However, I have to say that the minor and their character are very important.

I can only speak of myself, but I am 18 and can understand and understand the minors well.

I was very reasonable and responsible for my 17 years when I was in England.

Which could also be due to the fact that I turned 18 two months after my trip.

However, I don’t think it’s good to be fundamentally reluctant to take in young people.
With an orderly arrangement with the parents, if necessary also by email or telephone, nothing should stand in the way of the travel enjoyment of the minors.
In my opinion, a distinction must be made between the limit of 16 years.
Under the age of 16 I would not risk this, 16 is vlt. also quite young but at 17, if the parents trust the child so much that they let them travel through a country on their own responsibility shows how much you trust the child and that as a host you can also take up this trust.

So have courage, you will give minors the greatest pleasure and if everything is well regulated with the parents, it will be all the better in the end.
