Earlier this year, Airbnb made some bold moves to tackle the growing problem of party houses. They prohibited open invite parties, imposed limits on the number and type of guests allowed to a property, and created a "partyhouse rapid respond team" that assists in curbing unauthorised parties. They also created a Neighborhood Support Line for neighbours to report issues.
Airbnb also announced a ban on parties in multifamily dwellings. Vrbo was also announced as a partner to help share information about party homes. Lastly, they rolled out a number of safety features and protocols for summer bookings.
The ban on party hosts and many other measures may seem to be an effort to reduce party houses, but they also serve a practical purpose. Airbnb has found that local guests are more likely to invite unauthorized guests than guests from other cities. Also, it's easier to spot unapproved parties when they are hosted locally.
Additionally, the company decided to take down or delete party house listings from Los Angeles County. These were often unofficially hosted. Airbnb also removed a large number party houses in New Jersey. There were five fatal shootings at an Airbnb host hosted Halloween party.
The company is also taking a strong stance on New York City's parties houses. Airbnb announced it will only allow bookings for one night during Fourth of July Weekend. Listings with unauthorized parties will be removed from the site. The New Year's Eve booking policy is also enforced by Airbnb. Airbnb also has a Halloween one-night booking policy.
While the ban on partyhouses was effective, it also had its fair share negative side-effects. Airbnb also bans young adults hosting parties. It also prohibits guests under 25 from renting entire houses in their own communities. These measures are in effect since August 2020.
While there are good reasons for banning party houses, this policy is flawed in one key way. It fails to adequately address the noise and aging concerns that party guests and hosts often raise. Additionally, the company is trying to encourage hosts to use other platforms to list their properties. This could make it even more difficult for hosts to lose listings on one platform but then relist them elsewhere.
The company announced that in addition to banning party-goers, it will be increasing manual screening for reservations with high risk. The company implemented an 8-point plan to promote responsible travel. The company also introduced a Neighborhood Support Line, the Summer of Responsible Travel, and safety features.
It's no surprise party houses are now a major problem for the company. They are often cited as the root cause of many mishaps and have been implicated in violent incidents. They also have a hard time with large-scale events.
