Airbnb blocked 11,000 bookings in Arizona last year with 'anti-party' system

Vacation rental company Airbnb released how many bookings it blocked in Arizona last year using its "anti-party" system, which blocks renters younger than 25 without a positive rental history from booking homes in their local area.

In 2020, the company took the unusual step to prevent bookings under certain circumstances as Airbnb hosts and communities around the country complained about nuisances and violence. Several short-term rentals around the Phoenix area were leading to problems.

it also strengthened rules to prevent one-night bookings for guests who don't have a positive rental history. On the Fourth of July, the system stopped more than 3,200 bookings, and on New Year's Eve, Airbnb blocked over 2,900. "We believe it worked. Those weekends were generally quiet, and these initiatives were well-received by our Host community," Airbnb said in a news release.
