In the first three months of this year, Airbnb posted revenue of $1.5 billion, a 70% jump compared to the year prior. But the company has since experienced a surge in demand Like other parts of the travel industry, Airbnb’s business was initially hit hard by the pandemic. Airbnb said at the time that it banned the person who booked the property, and that the unauthorized event was thrown without the knowledge or consent of the host. The permanent policy also comes after two teens were killed and several people were injured at a party thrown in an Airbnb-rented property in Pittsburgh earlier this year.

It added that over 6,600 guests were suspended from Airbnb in 2021 for attempting to violate the party ban.Ĭodifying the party ban policy builds on previous efforts by the company to crack down on unauthorized parties, including restricting users under the age of 25 from booking entire home listings in their area if they don’t have a history of positive reviews.

The company said guests who attempt to violate these rules will face consequences varying from account suspension to full removal from the platform. “It developed into a bedrock community policy to support our Hosts and their neighbors.” “Over time, the party ban became much more than a public health measure,” the company said in a statement on its website Tuesday.
