The potential guests posting here keep asking things like “What’s wrong with us having a party if we absolutely promise to leave it as clean as we found it?” OK, here is your answer – and it’s a long answer. Taking advantage of someone else is not the solution. No, it’s not the same, but you won’t be spreading germs around either. That does NOT make it OK to host a party in someone else’s home without express permission. We are all frustrated with not having our usual social outlets. For example, ahead of almost every major holiday for the past two or so years, Airbnb has deployed restrictions to prevent guests without an established track record (i.e., a history of positive reviews) from making one-night reservations in entire home listings.It’s been interesting to read all the comments here about house parties in Airbnb spaces. There have been several hints that the platform was headed in this direction, too. But it was the 44% year-over-year drop in the rate of party reports since that first August that ultimately inspired the decision to make the ban permanent. In 2021, per a report from Skift, more than 6,600 guests and some hosts were suspended for attempting to violate the ban - a success by Airbnb’s standards to be sure.
The platform announced early Tuesday that it will codify its house party ban, making it a permanent, platform-wide policy, effective immediately.įor the uninitiated, whether or not parties were allowed at a property has historically been at the host’s discretion, but, in 2019, Airbnb began implementing certain controls to prohibit “open invite” parties, as well as “chronic party houses.” Later, in August 2020, a temporary ban on all parties and events was implemented “until further notice” to help curb the spread of COVID-19. And just like that, the Airbnb house party era has come to a close.
