Restricted content

Written by Paul Murphy
Updated over 3 years ago

In consideration of all members of our community, we restrict certain online content. This applies to descriptions and images of stays. This page offers general guidance on Staybnb’s community policies and doesn’t cover every possible scenario.

By posting content on Staybnb, you agree to abide by our Content Policy.

Note We reserve the right to remove any content, in whole or part, that violates our Content Policy. In the event of repeated or severe violations, we may also restrict, suspend or remove the associated Staybnb account.

What we allow

Pre-disclosed nude and sexually suggestive content in a listing: We allow certain nude artwork, sexually suggestive content or objects with sexual themes as long as the stay is not made available to anyone under the age of 18 and as long as its presence is disclosed in the listing description.

Guests shouldn't be made to feel shocked or uncomfortable by unexpected adult content during an Staybnb reservation. Our Resource Centre offers advice on creating a compelling listing page.

What we don’t allow

  • Violating content: Any content that violates our Copyright Policy.

  • Violent or graphic content in accommodation: Hosts should not display imagery depicting physical harm in spaces shared with guests unless it has historical or cultural significance. Display of such content must be disclosed in writing in the listing description.

  • Violent or graphic content in a listing description: Hosts shouldn't include images of physical harm in their listing description.

  • Sexually explicit content on Staybnb: Sexually explicit imagery (photos or videos) isn't allowed on Staybnb. However, some sexually suggestive imagery and sexually explicit, suggestive or nude artwork in mediums other than photo or video (e.g. paintings, sculptures, etc.) are allowed on Staybnb if they're used for the purpose of disclosing items with sexual themes found in a Listing or Experience.

  • Sexually explicit language: Hosts may not display or use language verbally or written that is intended for sexual arousal or that contains or references sexual acts.
