Airbnb, a private lodging and accommodation facility brokerage site, posted sales of 335 million dollars (about 35 billion yen) in the second quarter of 2020 (April to June) due to the influence of the new coronavirus, 67% of the same period last year.

It is reported that it decreased and the deficit expanded. Airbnb has announced that it will ban parties and events from registered private lodgings and accommodations worldwide.

According to Airbnb, there were many cases where users who originally held parties and events at accommodations and made noise and neighbors also quarreled. 73% of the list of accommodations already registered says that all parties except small ones, such as children's birthday parties, are banned.

In 2019, Airbnb will open a 24-hour, 24/7 support hotline in the US and Canada to receive complaints from neighbors to reduce trouble with their neighbors. We are also trying to limit reservations for users under the age of 25.

Meanwhile, in response to the global epidemic of the new coronavirus that has continued since the beginning of 2020, social distance has become more important, and pubs and clubs have also refrained from parties and events. However, it seems that there were many cases where Airbnb was used to rent private lodgings and accommodations and hold parties and events there.



So Airbnb updated its policy. Announced that it has removed the condition 'best for events' from the minpaku search filter and removed 'allow parties and events' from the house rule options.

The specific changes to the policy are as follows and will be applied worldwide.

・ Party will be prohibited for all reservations in the future
・ The maximum number of people who can stay at an accommodation facility registered with Airbnb at one time is 16 people.
Exceptional processes are under consideration for professional and traditional hospitality facilities such as

boutique hotels
・ If you hold a party or allow a party to be held in violation of the policy even though Airbnb prohibits it, you may be held liable.



Airbnb said, 'We think it's incredibly irresponsible to hold a party even in this situation. We don't want such a business and engage in such actions. 'No one belongs to our platform,' he said. 'It is in the greatest benefit to public health to globally ban parties and events at Airbnb-registered facilities.' It will be. '
