Airbnb’s Summer 2025 update just launched, and buried inside is a feature that could destroy your margins and expose you to serious risk.

It’s called “Services,” and it lets guests book things like chefs, trainers, and masseuses without your approval, while you carry all the liability.

In this episode, I break down:

  • Why this new feature is dangerous for pro hosts
  • How to opt out in 3 steps
  • How to beat Airbnb at its own game by building your own Services page
  • Why relying on Airbnb in 2025 is a bigger risk than ever

If you’re serious about building a business (not just listing properties), this is mandatory viewing.
