It looks like AirBnB are working on an API, including search by lat/lon. That might be a better integration mechanism for the "click here for more information" use case. https://www.quora.com/Does-Airbnb-have-a-publicly-accessible-programming-API http://airbnbapi.org/#listing-search --colin

The best thing you can do is map the exact address of the place, and the front door. Then if someone wants to find where it is, they call the owner and ask for the address. Janko ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org

My original intent in this post was to determine what tags to use in describing the guest house as an AirBnB venue. The issue of legality hadn't really occurred to me. If it turns out that such places are legitimate to tag, how should I indicate that they are "administered" through AirBnB? The

Since AirBnBs are primarily private homes, it doesn't seem appropriate to add them to OpenStreetMap. Additionally, it may be a violation of AirBnB's terms of service to take data from their website and host it on another's (OpenStreetMap in this case). Last but definitely not least, if a host
