San Francisco, Aug 17 : Major online hotel chain Airbnb has launched new anti-party tools that can help identify reservations with a high risk of being fraudulent and stop those who are making use of the platform.In the earlier days in June the company announced that the temporary ban on party parties would be codified.
“We continue to efforts to enforce this policy through adopting measures to the maximum of our abilities to identify parties that are not authorized which means parties that are thrown without the knowledge or permission of hosts,” the company said in a blog post.
The latest features are accessible in the US and Canada and will be available in other countries shortly.
The new system takes into account factors such as the history of positive reviews or the absence of positive reviews as well as the time of period the guest was on Airbnb, duration of the journey in relation to the distance from the listing, weekend and.weekday, among other factors.
The goal of this company is to to stop the ability of criminals to throw illegal parties that adversely affect the hosts as well as the neighbors and communities they support.
The company also stated that guests who aren’t able to book a full home reservation because of this system will be capable of booking an individual room where the host will be at the location or book a hotel room via Airbnb.
The company has previously tightened its rules to ban both “open-invite” events (those that are advertised via social media) as well as “chronic party houses” which had turned into nuisances for the neighborhood.
