Why the AirBNB party is over - permanently

No parties at Airbnb properties. Full stop.

The vacation rental giant this week confirmed a ban on parties is now a permanent rule across its entire global network.

Airbnb started cracking down on unruly party houses and gatherings three years ago after a series of well-publicised incidents

Those incidents included a party shooting which left five people dead.

“The temporary ban has proved effective, and today we are officially codifying the ban as our policy,” Airbnb said in a blog post.

Although the policy is official permanent, completely imposing a halt to parties has proved difficult.

Airbnb said guests who try to organise house parties could face sanctions from account suspension to full removal.

In 2021, over 6,600 guests were suspended from Airbnb for violating the ban.
