This technology uses machine learning and “a number of signals” to pick out reservations made for hosting parties. These red flags include things like the size of the house (single rooms don’t count), length of the booking and how far away it is from where the guest lives. So if you want to rent a big house in your neighborhood to host an all-night rave, you’re out of luck.
How is Airbnb hoping to kill rowdy New Year’s Eve parties?
Answer: With technology.
If you’re planning on renting a house to host a big New Year’s Eve bash, think again. Airbnb says it will be deploying its “anti-party technology” to prevent loud late-night get-togethers in houses listed on its site.

Airbnb will also be asking guests with a booking over New Year’s that doesn’t get blocked to sign attestations acknowledging that they won’t host a party. If they’re caught violating this agreement, they could be removed from the platform.
