These Standards form an integral part of the Host Terms (Article 2(3) and Article 18 thereof) and are amended in accordance with Article 53 thereof, on notice of at least 30 days in advance.

  11. Circumstances capable of materially influencing the Guest's decision: ongoing construction works in the building or in its immediate vicinity, significant sources of noise, absence of a lift on a high floor, restricted access to the property during certain hours;

  12. Monitoring devices: the presence, location and coverage of every video surveillance or audio recording device in and around the Property, including in the common parts; monitoring devices in interior spaces are absolutely prohibited under section 1.2, point 1.

1.2. Absolute prohibitions

The following are prohibited:

  1. the presence of video surveillance or audio recording devices in interior spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets), even where they are disclosed;

  2. the concealment of material circumstances referred to in section 1.1, point 11;

  3. stating an incorrect location, capacity or set of amenities;

  4. the inclusion, in the free text of the description, of telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, links to external sites or instructions for booking outside the Platform; this is without prejudice to the contact details of a Business Host displayed in the field provided for that purpose in accordance with Article 8 of the Host Terms;

  5. the publication of a duplicate Listing for the same property.

1.3. Description

  1. The description is not less than 400 characters in length and may be provided in any language in which the Platform is offered. Where a translation is available, the Platform shows Guests who use the Platform in another language an automatic translation of the description into that language, labelled as such.

  2. The wording is specific and verifiable. Expressions such as "in the centre", "a stone's throw from the beach" or "panoramic view" are permitted only where they correspond to reality and are supported by a photograph or by the position on the map.

  3. The description does not contain discriminatory requirements or preferences on the grounds listed in Article 39(4) of the Host Terms.

2. Photographs

2.2. Authenticity rules

  1. The photographs are taken in the property itself and reflect its current condition.

  3. Catalogue photographs, photographs taken from the internet and photographs of another property are not permitted.

  4. Photographs in which third parties are identifiable are published only with their consent.

  5. The photographs are updated upon every material change to the property; in the absence of any change, the Host confirms that they remain current once every 24 months.

2.3. Verification

The Platform may compare the published photographs against databases of known images and against other listings on the Platform. Where a match is found, the Listing is suspended pending clarification.

  4. The property complies with the safety requirements under the law applicable at the place where it is located. For properties in the Hellenic Republic, Article 15a of the Host Terms applies.

  5. Clear access instructions and contact details valid throughout the stay are provided.

5. Consequences of non-compliance

5.1. Graduated measures

(3) A suspension under paragraphs 1 and 2 is accompanied by a reasoned decision under section 5.3 and may be challenged in accordance with Article 45 of the Host Terms.

5.3. Procedural safeguards

  1. Every measure is accompanied by a reasoned decision under Article 42 of the Host Terms, stating the specific indicator or requirement, the deviation established, the measurement period and whether automated means were used.

  2. A measure resulting in suspension or termination is not imposed definitively solely by automated means without the possibility of human review.

  3. Every measure may be challenged in accordance with Article 45 of the Host Terms, within six months.

  4. Where the non-compliance is remedied, the measure is lifted without undue delay and the ranking is restored.
