A great and clear Airbnb profile image helps your potential guests or hosts feel that you’re a good person, reliable and authentic. A well-curated profile image is the first step to ensuring you will get a winning customer review.
Whether you’re a host or a guest, the more complete your profile is, the more Airbnb reservations you’re likely to get booked.
Airbnb requires all hosts to have a profile photo, and they require all guests to upload a profile photo before making their first reservation. A great profile includes at least one profile photo. To view someone’s profile, just click their profile photo.

WHAT ARE THE BEST AIRBNB PHOTO SIZES FOR MY AIRBNB LISTING?
High-quality photos that are at least 1024 x 683 pixels are a great way to showcase your space and help set guests’ expectations.
Our free tips when taking your photos for your Airbnb listing:
- Few photos are better than no photos. Start with some of your photos when you create a new listing – mobile phone photos are a good start.
- Landscape format. Horizontal photos will showcase your space very well.
- Set the scene. Clean up, remove clutter and pretend you’re preparing for your first guest.
- Use daylight. Open the curtains or blinds and turn on the lights to brighten your space.
- Showcase your unique amenities. Guests enjoy and appreciate staying in spaces with character. Consider including exterior photos too.

🎬 Conclusion
Your Airbnb profile image/photo sets the environment for customers to love your listing and book your page or experience. A professionally shot profile image of yourself will tell the potential guest the type of person you are.
Ensure your look reflects the type of experience the person will have.
For example, if you are offering a private yurt in a secret forest, it makes sense your profile photo showcases a person who loves living in the forest.
The same thinking will apply if you are offering a loft in Manhattan, New York City, your profile image can reflect a person who loves all the joys of city living. You could probably say the latter should be a more sophisticated profile image.
