Airbnb, a private lodging reservation service, permanently bans 'holding parties and events'

Airbnb, a private lodging and accommodation brokerage site, has announced that it will permanently ban parties and events from being held at registered private lodgings and accommodations. As of August 2020, it was a 'temporary ban', but the final decision has been tough.

According to Airbnb, guests who originally rented private lodgings and accommodations held home parties and club events, and there were many cases where noise and damage to the facilities caused troubles with private lodging hosts and neighboring residents. .. And, with the worldwide epidemic of the new coronavirus from the beginning of 2020, the number of cases where parties are held at private lodgings and accommodation facilities instead of public event venues and facilities has increased rapidly.

Therefore, in August 2020, Airbnb updated its policy to ban home parties and events from private lodgings and accommodations, and limit the maximum number of people that can stay at one time. According to Airbnb, this restriction was 'valid until later notice', and it was only a temporary measure.

According to Airbnb, more than 6,600 guests have held parties and events in violation of this ban during 2021, all of whom have been suspended by Airbnb.

Even so, the reporting rate of troubles caused by parties and events has decreased by 44% from the previous year since the announcement of the ban. The ban was also well received by the host community of private lodgings and accommodations, and Airbnb said, 'We have officially banned parties and events because the temporary ban proved to be effective. Will be added to the policy. '

However, the limit of 'up to 16 guests' was set before the introduction of the new coronavirus vaccine, and because of concerns about the spread of infection, Airbnb has this maximum number of guests. The restrictions will be lifted.
