the issue is, airbnb can never protect against that. The only thing i believe they should do, is informing about this when booking and maybe linking scanners, that can scan rooms for cameras.

According to court records, an Airbnb representative sought permission to report their complaint to the host, a man named A. Jay Allee. “Do you mind if we contact the host and get his side of the story?” Wyzynajtys recalled the Airbnb representative asking in the message.

They should also contact police rather than alert hosts that their spy cameras have been detected
