But this policy may struggle to address the camera problem at large, as the company has already required hosts to disclose the indoor cameras, and guests have sometimes reported hidden and undisclosed cameras.
The new rules also require hosts to disclose to guests whether they are using noise decibel monitors or outdoor cameras before guests book.

Yea, I think no one is complaining about those types of airbnb hosts. It’s the ones who want to run them like a hotel with the guest themselves as staff.
I almost always hear complaints the other way around: guests complaining about bad hosts, not hosts complaining about bad guests, unless it’s the entitled ones whining their guest didn’t wash the linens and make the bed…
