In August, Airbnb revealed its intention to test and implement anti-party technology. Two months earlier, in June, the app had permanently prohibited the hosting of parties. Airbnb did not elaborate on how their “proprietary reservation screening technology” functions, merely stating that it will lower the likelihood of parties being held in rentals.

In addition to reservation checks, the platform enhanced its verification of guest identities. According to a Help page, Airbnb may seek a customer’s legal name, address, phone number, government-issued identification card, or selfie. This applies to customers booking travel to the top 35 countries and regions using the app, and it will be expanded globally in the spring. Both reservation screening technology and guest identification verification are included in the app’s attempts to safeguard hosts from interruptions and property damage. Check out?
