Airbnb is testing new \u201canti-party technology\u201d in the US and Canada as it attempts to enforce a global ban on house parties it made permanent earlier this year<\/a>, the company has announced<\/a>. The technology is designed to automatically catch the kinds of bookings that are likely to result in unauthorized parties, by looking at factors like a guests\u2019 review history, the age of their account, the length of the stay they\u2019re requesting, and whether they\u2019re booking for a weekday or weekend.<\/p>\n

The company says it\u2019s been trialing similar technology in select areas of Australia since October 2021, where it saw a 35 percent drop in unauthorized parties. It\u2019s also previously used a similar system in the US since July 2020<\/a> that has a more limited focus on guests under the age of 25. With this previous technology, younger guests were prevented from booking large houses nearby to where they live if they didn\u2019t have a history of positive reviews. The latest rollout has a much broader focus, with no mention of a maximum age limit. <\/p>\n
