Airbnb activates anti-party technology across the US for Halloween
Airbnb is activating anti-party technology across the United States for Halloween weekend, including in Las Vegas.
The system is designed to flag bookings it considers higher risk as the company enforces its year-round ban on disruptive parties.
Airbnb says the technology helped deter about 40 people in Las Vegas from booking an entire home over Halloween weekend last year.
The company says parties are rare: 0.07% of Nevada reservations last year resulted in a party report.
Guests flagged by the system can still book other Airbnb options, such as private rooms and hotels.
The heightened checks are in place for this Halloween weekend, though no end date beyond the holiday period is stated.
