It said Monday that the changes, which will come into force from April 30, simplify its policy around monitoring devices and "continue to prioritize the privacy" of Airbnb users.
Cameras were previously allowed in areas such as hallways and living areas as long as they were disclosed by the property owner.
Airbnb also required the cameras to be clearly visible and not located in sleeping areas or bathrooms.
Airbnb announced it will ban the use of indoor security cameras in any property listed on its site, and bring in new restrictions on outdoor cameras and noise monitoring devices.
"These changes follow extensive consultation with guests, hosts, privacy experts and advocacy groups," Airbnb said in the statement.
