If you’re thinking about throwing a party at a local Airbnb, you may want to reconsider.
Popular traveler service, Airbnb, is launching an anti-party crackdown for the upcoming summer holidays.
According to a press release, the company will be doing enhanced screenings for those looking to book during Memorial Day weekend or the 4th of July weekend.
Guests who do not have a history of positive reviews will be prevented from making a one-night reservation. Guests looking to book two-night reservations will also face some restrictions.

“Protecting hosts is really, I mean, they’re our partners. That’s the name of the game. We’re nothing without our hosts. They’re putting in the work. They’re welcoming guests, and hosts don’t want parties happening,” said Ben Breit, director of trust and safety communications for Airbnb.
In 2019, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department reported responding to dozens of calls at short-term rental locations.
According to Briet, Airbnb will consider taking legal action against guests who throw unauthorized parties.
