Renters who don’t have a “history of positive reviews on
Airbnb” will be barred from making one-night reservations for houses, and there
will also be limits on who can make two-night bookings, the company said.
Airbnb said it will require renters to confirm that they
understand the company’s ban on parties and that Airbnb could take legal action
against violators.
The company said guests who have received positive marks in
the past won’t be affected by the changes.
San Francisco-based Airbnb said similar measures prevented
126,000 people from renting properties over the July 4 holiday last year
because they lacked positive reviews from hosts.
Airbnb has long faced criticism over large parties, some of
which have turned violent, at properties listed by its hosts.
Last month, two teens were killed and several others injured
by gunfire during an Easter weekend party at an Airbnb in Pittsburgh. Airbnb
has said it plans legal action against the person who booked the house. The
company banned parties after five people were shot dead during a Halloween
party in 2019 at a rental in Orinda, California, a San Francisco suburb.
