Set Up Safety and Property Information on Airbnb

Safety is a priority for guests, and providing clear information about potential risks in your accommodation builds trust and prevents misunderstandings. With the “Safety and Property” feature in Channel PRO, you can easily indicate relevant conditions of your property to be displayed on Airbnb.

What Information You Can Add

Airbnb allows you to inform guests about various situations or features of the accommodation:

  • Stairs to climb

  • Potential noise

  • Pets on the premises

  • No parking available

  • Shared common areas

  • Service limitations

  • Security camera or recording device

  • Weapons on the property

  • Presence of potentially dangerous animals

  • Unfenced or unlocked pool or hot tub

  • Lake, river, or other body of water nearby

  • Climbing structure or playground equipment

  • High surface without railing or protection

👉 Pay attention to details: these conditions help set clear expectations and protect you from future claims.

How to Set It Up in Channel PRO

  1. Go to Channel PRO > Safety and Property.

  2. Select the options that apply to your accommodation.

  3. Add a brief description (optional in most cases).

  4. Save the changes.

Important Rules

  • You only need to add the description in one language. Airbnb will automatically translate it into others.

  • The character limit for descriptions is 300.

  • In two cases, a specific description is mandatory:

    • Security camera/recording device → Indicate location and details.

    • Weapons on the property → Specify the type of weapons and their location.

Best Practices

  • Be transparent: informing about stairs or noise doesn't detract from appeal; it builds trust.

  • Be specific enough: a comment like “the pool is unfenced, located in the garden” is more helpful than just checking the box.

  • Keep information updated: review this section whenever you make changes to the property.

Quick Checklist

  • Have I marked all applicable features for my accommodation?

  • Have I added the mandatory description for cameras and weapons?

  • Is the text brief (max. 300 characters) and clear?

  • Have I saved the changes in Channel PRO?

Conclusion

Properly setting up the safety and property section protects both you and your guests. It offers transparency, anticipates potential questions, and ensures your Airbnb listing reflects the reality of the accommodation.
