Hosts may be asked to demonstrate that their listing is a real home, at an accurate location, and that they have access to that location. Read on to learn more about this process.
Note: A listing’s location being “Verified” only means that the host has submitted the information required in order to complete our location verification process. This process has safeguards but is not a guarantee that a listing is where the host claims it to be, or that other listing details or amenities are accurate.
There are various ways to verify your listing’s location. Find the steps for different verification methods here.
If you’re having trouble, we also have tips for fixing verification issues.
Verifying the location of listings helps us to scan for fraudulent behavior and makes it easier for guests to book with confidence and locate their listing upon arrival.
There are several methods to verify your listing—each method usually takes around 15–30 minutes for most hosts.
You’ll only need to complete one method of location verification. Most methods can only be completed while you (or someone assisting you with the process) are physically present at the listing. The location of some existing listings have been verified using historical booking data, guest review information, and/or supplemental documentation provided by hosts.
Depending on the method you select, location verification may include a combination of human and automated review processes. You can review status updates of your verification by visiting the Publishing checklist. We will let you know within 24-48 hours if your listing is verified or if we need more information.
