Airbnb’s ban on parties is now a permanent rule across its entire global network.
The vacation rental giant started cracking down on unruly ‘party houses ‘and one-off party gatherings three years ago.
It followed serious incidents in North America including 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 stopping parties has proved difficult
Airbnb said guests who try to organize 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.
