Sally – we know you either work for Airbnb or are a troll.

Hosts talk quite a bit on different forums regarding whether to ask for personal ID or not.
Personally I do not.
Guests have to remember you are entering an accommodation contract with the host, to stay at their property, Their Rules. So, your Host (not Hotelier) can ask for photo ID for all people staying in their home/property, they also have the right to refuse entry if such documentation is not provided, or guest description is different from who was booked.
These are Privately owned properties, so the owner has a right to feel safe.

Just show the ID for goodness sake and move on…

Hotels ask for your passport. So what is the real problem with you? Something to hide ?

Tell the host you are not comfortable sharing this information amd that he/she has concerns, he/she should cancel the booking. Another reason why not to use airbnb.

In reply to Sally. You are clearly a troll in the employ of Airbnb. The host is not entitled to know my race or where I live. Shame on you for taking money from Airbnb to harass people with complaints.

The host is totally intrusive and in no way is justified in asking for this unless it’s clearly stated prior to booking. These moronic hosts need to stop paying hotel (and that’s exactly what they’re doing when they open their door and take money).

Aggressive?! Host is fully entitled to personal details of whomever he/she allows on the premises for a long-term rental.
You are clearly an overly sensitive cheapskate guest:)
