Airbnb hosts are increasingly filming guests on security cameras, possibly as a defence against potential litigation. When one guest complained, Airbnb said the host had correctly disclosed the presence of cameras. After detailing his experience in a blog, the complainant was refunded by Airbnb, which also removed the host from its platform. Despite this, users appear to have little official recourse when cameras are not concealed and are not placed in bedrooms or bathrooms.
