Why isn't a reference appearing on my profile?

References are no longer active. However, if you already had references, they will remain on your profile, but won't be displayed publicly.

A reference is a statement on your profile from friends, family members, and colleagues that helps guests become comfortable staying with you. References are different from reviews, which hosts and guests write after a completed trip, and referrals, which let you earn credit for inviting people to Airbnb.
