This supports Airbnb&#8217;s ongoing party ban.<\/p>\n<p>Airbnb introduced a variation of this type of holiday initiative for the first time over Halloween last year. The company said it was a success, with a drop in incidents such as unauthorized parties for Halloween by over 49% in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically in Los Angeles County, more than 1,200 people were deterred by Airbnb&#8217;s various anti-party defenses from booking entire home listings over Halloween 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to New Year&#8217;s Eve and July 4 initiatives, the following criteria will be in place for guests attempting to book reservations in the U.S. and Canada over Halloween weekend:<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; For one-night reservations, guests without a history of positive reviews on Airbnb will be prohibited from making one-night reservations in entire home listings;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; As Halloween approaches, the company will deploy more stringent restrictions on two-night reservations that may pose heightened risk for parties. For example, Airbnb will leverage its technology that restricts certain local and last-minute bookings by guests without a history of positive reviews on Airbnb and also block reservations within an expanded radius;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Guests who have a history of positive reviews on Airbnb will not be subject to these restrictions; and<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Guests making one or two-night reservations will need to attest that they understand Airbnb&#8217;s party ban and that they may be subject to legal action if that rule is broken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airbnb Tuesday announced a campaign to promote safe and responsible travel, and a plan to help prevent unauthorized parties over Halloween weekend.
