Ahead of the final weekend of the year, Airbnb is rolling out anti-party technology across the US – including in Florida – to help reduce the risk of unauthorized and disruptive parties over the weekend and days leading up and over New Year’s Eve.
The anti-party defenses active over New Year’s Eve use machine learning to help identify potentially higher-risk bookings of entire home listings from being made, and help enforce Airbnb’s global party ban. Guests attempting to book will either be blocked from doing so, or redirected to alternative accommodations on the platform.
Airbnb activated similar defenses last year over New Year’s Eve that deterred approximately 33,000 people in the US from booking – and saw a reduction in the number of parties reported over that holiday. Specifically in Florida, approximately 2,700 people were deterred from booking an entire home listing on Airbnb last New Year’s Eve due to those defenses.
