Airbnb will cancel and reimburse the guests for previously booked reservations that fall within the ban. “This action is designed to help protect our hosts and the communities they live in,” Airbnb said in the announcement. In the coming weeks, Airbnb will enable 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. If any guests break the no-party rules, Airbnb says trained agents from their support line will be available to respond to issues raised by neighbors.
