What ID and Documents You Need to Check Into an Airbnb in Kenya
Check-in at an Airbnb in Kenya isn't as formal as a hotel front desk, but hosts still ask for some basic documentation.
What Hosts Typically Ask For
Most hosts near JKIA will ask to see a passport (for international guests) or national ID (for Kenyan citizens) at check-in, sometimes just to confirm the name on the booking matches. Keep a photo of your passport bio page and entry stamp accessible on your phone in case it is needed.
Entry Requirements Are Separate From Check-In
Remember that airport entry requirements – such as any advance travel authorization Kenya currently requires – are handled before you land, not at the Airbnb. Confirm the latest requirements on Kenya's official immigration channels well before your trip, since these rules do change.
