There are two ways to get support hosting on Airbnb: Hosting teams and Co-Hosts.
A hosting team manages a place on behalf of the renter or owner, including their online listings and guests. The team may be a business or group of people the owner has a legal contract with.
Co-Hosts are more casual—like friends, family members, or a trusted person hired by the listing owner—who help the listing owner manage their listing and reservations. A Co-Host’s permissions are set by the listing owner and determine what they can help with.

Disclaimer: Co-Hosts of listings located in Japan are not able to start, manage, or resolve requests for damaged or missing items in the Resolution Center or reimbursement requests under Host Damage Protection on behalf of Hosts.
Host damage protection isn’t an insurance policy. It doesn’t protect Hosts who offer stays in Japan, where Japan Host Insurance applies. For Hosts who offered stays or China, the China Host Protection Plan applies. Keep in mind that all coverage limits are shown in USD.
For listings in Washington state, Airbnb’s contractual obligations under Host damage protection are covered by an insurance policy purchased by Airbnb. Host damage protection is subject to terms, conditions and limitations except for Hosts whose country of residence or establishment is within Australia. For such Hosts, Host damage protection is subject to these terms, conditions and limitations.
