Can I put my email address on my listing?

Technically you can, but we strongly advise against it — and listings that include email addresses are removed from the site.

Why you should not include your email address

Publishing your email address on a public listing will almost certainly result in ongoing spam. Automated bots constantly scan websites for email addresses and will add yours to spam lists.

Beyond spam, sharing your personal email address publicly removes a layer of privacy that the on-site messaging system is designed to protect.

Why listings with email addresses are removed

Our guidelines require communication to take place through the on-site messaging system. Listings that include email addresses, phone numbers, or any wording that encourages guests to contact you outside the site are removed. This policy protects both hosts and guests and keeps the platform fair for everyone.

The right way to share your phone number

If you want guests to be able to call or text you, the correct process is to verify your phone number through our verification system and then enable it on your listing. See How do I verify my phone number? and How do I add my phone number to my listing?

Listing removed? If your listing was removed because it contained contact details, simply edit your listing to remove them, then contact us to have it reinstated.
