Airbnb is permanently banning all parties and events at host properties around the world, it announced. That follows a temporary 2020 ban it had instituted on house parties to comply with COVID-related social distancing restrictions. “Over time, the party ban became much more than a public health measure,” Airbnb said in a blog post<\/a>. “It developed into a bedrock community policy to support our Hosts and their neighbors.”<\/p>\n

Airbnb had already banned<\/a> “chronic party houses” in 2019 following a California Halloween shooting that resulted in five deaths. It later barred all “open-invite<\/a>” house parties, but still allowed invitation-only parties in single family dwellings. However, those too are now prohibited, under penalty of account suspension or full removal from the platform.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On a more positive note, Airbnb lifted a 16-person occupancy cap also instituted during the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s because certain properties “from castles in Europe to vineyards in the US to large beachfront villas in the Caribbean” can easily accommodate more than 16 people, it said, adding that “properties like these thrive on hosting multi-generational family trips and larger groups.”<\/p>\n

The company runs a tip line that allows neighbors or others to report parties. Airbnb noted that it saw a 44 percent drop in the rate of party reports after the ban was implemented in 2020 and it suspended the accounts of around 6,600 guests for breaking the policy last year.<\/p>\n
