Managing<\/strong> a short-term rental property\u2014such as villas, apartments, or holiday homes\u2014comes with significant responsibilities, and one of the most challenging situations a host may face is accommodating underage guests<\/strong>. What happens when minors show up at check-in? Are they allowed<\/strong> to stay? What does Greek law provide, and what responsibilities does the host assume? And most importantly, how can a property owner protect their home without violating rules or rights?<\/p>\n

What Greek law provides<\/h2>\n

\"\u03ac\u03bd\u03ae\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9According to Airbnb\u2019s official policy,<\/strong> account creation and booking are strictly allowed only for individuals who have reached the age of 18. This is because adults have the legal capacity<\/strong> to enter into binding contracts, such as a rental agreement for accommodation.<\/p>\n

In Greece, civil liability law and general regulations for tourist accommodations are aligned<\/strong> with this principle. A minor<\/strong> (under 18) cannot legally sign or be bound by a rental contract without the written consent or presence of a legal guardian. Furthermore, if an accident or urgent medical issue occurs inside your property, the absence of a responsible<\/strong> adult creates significant legal gaps, as no one on-site would have the legal authority to make decisions regarding medical procedures or hospitalization.<\/p>\n

According to Airbnb\u2019s policy, so-called \u201cthird-party bookings\u201d<\/strong> (i.e., reservations made by one person on behalf of another who will not be staying at the property) are considered a violation of the platform\u2019s terms when the account holder is not present<\/strong> at the listing. This means that a parent cannot technically make a reservation for underage children traveling alone.<\/p>\n

How to prevent bookings by minors<\/h2>\n

Prevention<\/strong> is the best defense for protecting your property. There are specific digital and communication tools you can use to filter guests before they arrive:<\/p>\n

Clear Airbnb rules<\/h3>\n

Clearly<\/strong> state at the beginning of your listing and in your house rules that you do not accept unaccompanied minors and that official ID verification<\/strong> is required at check-in. Although the platform prohibits<\/strong> age-based discrimination, it allows you to define whether the property is suitable for children or if a minimum age is required for safety reasons, provided this is clearly stated in advance.<\/p>\n

Communication before accepting a booking<\/h3>\n

Before approving a reservation\u2014especially<\/strong> for villas, large houses, or weekend stays\u2014it is advisable to ask: who will be staying, the purpose of the trip, and the age composition of the group. This does not need to be done in an aggressive<\/strong> tone; professional communication is usually enough to understand the situation.<\/p>\n

External verification tools<\/h3>\n

Use property management software that offers digital guest identity verification<\/strong> (ID verification) prior to arrival.<\/p>\n

Minimum stay requirements<\/h3>\n

Set a minimum stay of 2\u20133 nights<\/strong> for weekends. This helps deter young groups looking for a short one-night party stay.<\/p>\n

Smart security tools<\/h3>\n

Many hosts now use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Noise monitoring devices<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • External entrance cameras<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Automated self check-in systems<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Guest identity verification software<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    These solutions are mainly preventive and help avoid unpleasant incidents.<\/p>\n

    \"\u03b1\u03bd\u03ae\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9How to handle the arrival of minors<\/h2>\n

    If, despite your preventive<\/strong> measures, you discover at check-in that the guests are minors and the adult who made the booking is not present, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    Do not allow entry to the property:<\/strong> If the guests do not meet the requirements, you have every right to refuse handing over the keys.<\/p>\n

    Keep communication within the platform:<\/strong> Immediately send a message via Airbnb chat to the account that made the booking. State that the present guests are minors and that the account holder is not present, which violates<\/strong> the platform\u2019s booking policy. This will serve as written evidence.<\/p>\n

    Contact Airbnb Support:<\/strong> Call Airbnb Support immediately. Explain that this is a third-party booking and involves unaccompanied minors. Request cancellation<\/strong> of the reservation without your fault and without penalties, as the guests have violated the Terms of Service.<\/p>\n

    A proper age policy protects your property and reputation<\/h2>\n

    Hosting minors<\/strong> is not just a \u201cdifficult check-in.\u201d It is an issue that affects legal security, property protection, and the overall image of your listing. Professional hosts in 2026 establish<\/strong> clear rules, apply identity verification procedures, and operate with professionalism from the first communication through to check-out.<\/p>\n

    By implementing a clear policy<\/strong> regarding underage guests, you significantly reduce the chances of facing damages, complaints, or legal issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
