The new technology examines the would-be renter's history on Airbnb, how far away they live, whether they're renting for a weekday or weekend, and other factors.
Airbnb announced new ways to search for and book homes on the platform in response to the number of customers choosing longer stays.Airbnb says it will use new methods to spot and block people who try to use the short-term rental service to throw a party.
The company said Tuesday it has introduced anti-party technology that examines the would-be renter's history on Airbnb, how far they live from the home they want to rent, whether they're renting for a weekday or weekend, and other factors.Airbnb said the screening system that it is rolling out for listings in the United States and Canada has been tested since last October in parts of Australia, where it produced a 35% drop in unauthorized parties.
The San Francisco-based company said the technology is designed to prevent a customer's request for reservation from ever reaching the host of the property involved. Airbnb said people blocked from renting an entire home might be able to book a single room because the host is more likely to be around.

Thewas initially cast as a temporary health measure during the pandemic but was made permanent in June.
Specifically in Texas, Airbnb recorded a 46% year-over-year drop in party reports since the introduction of the temporary policy in 2020.Related Topics
