We find that current framings of sustainability implications of accommodation sharing vary among those who formulate them as well as among the three platform types. This has implications for the role of these platforms in advancing different types of sustainability. (Less)

- Accommodation sharing comprises rental, reciprocal and free platforms. •The paper investigates how operators and users of these platforms frame sustainability of accommodation sharing. •We study literature and empirical data from 10 interviews and 86 responses to a qualitative structured online questionnaire. •We find that current sustainability framings of accommodation sharing vary among the three platform types. •This has implications for the role of these platforms in advancing different types of sustainability.
