Airbnb is launching 'anti-party tools' to stop parties in the US and Canada

The anti-party tools in the US and Canada prevent users from booking properties just for partying.

The screening tool will help identify potentially high-risk reservations and prevent them from making a booking, according to the home sharing platform.

The goal is to reduce the ability of bad actors to throw unauthorized parties which negatively impact our Hosts, neighbors, and the communities we serve.

The screening tool has been used by Airbnb in Australia. There has been a decline in unauthorized parties where the system has been put in place.

If the host is more likely to be present, guests will be able to reserve a hotel room or a private room.

There were no parties in June. This was after the company implemented a temporary ban in August 2020 as entertainment outlets closed, prompting some to take bar and club behavior to homes, sometimes rented through our platform.
