This year, Airbnb is strengthening its prevention strategy Unauthorized parties take place in tourist apartments to say goodbye to the year. This is a process he put into action on New Year’s Eve 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, and has perfected since then. Since then, this platform has prevented thousands of people worldwide from reserving entire properties to welcome the New Year, causing problems in coexistence with neighbors.
How does the vacation rental giant know you’re renting the house to host a party? Technology serves it to you on a plate. The platform has developed one patented technology already based on AI, which is even harder to fooland machine learning against trespassers, which has already been implemented in several countries and regions around the world.
Is about an automatic system that analyzes booking attempts for this data, especially those for one, two and three nights in complete accommodation. As soon as the risk of unauthorized entry is detected, it is blocked.
To do this, the technology analyzes hundreds of signals that could indicate a reservation a higher risk of being affected by incidents of this typeSuch as the duration of the trip, the distance between the accommodation and the guest’s location, the type of accommodation chosen and whether it is a last minute reservation, among many other variables.
Naba Banerjee, director of trust and security at Airbnb, says of the use of AI: “We are focused on an approach that allows us to implement this technology in a way that.”and benefits both hosts, guests and the neighborhood. “We trust that these measures will have a positive impact on the various communities in which they are implemented on New Year’s Eve.”
This system was introduced Spain, USA, Puerto Rico, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Australia and New Zealand. These countries have restrictions on reservations of one to three nights, so AI-based technology blocks reservations for entire properties that pose a high risk of trespassing.
One of the key indicators is that they live in the same city where they want to purchase the house. Notifications are also enabled for single night reservations on entire accommodations from guests who have never booked on the platform or have no positive reviews in the past. The same goes for those guests who keep trying to reserve two or three nights.
Airbnb has also done this Adding a free noise sensor for hosts and the mandatory trespasser statement requiring guests who are able to make reservations to certify that they understand that Airbnb prohibits trespassers and that violating this rule will risk suspension or expulsion from the platform.
