PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) With the help of machine learning technology, Airbnb says it will be cracking down on parties this summer.

Its really important that those spaces are respected and treated with care, and that, you know, people are not showing up and taking advantage of that, said Airbnbs Global Director of Corporate and Policy Communications Christopher Nulty.

The best part about staying in an Airbnb is often that you're staying in a neighborhood, and the only way to continue staying in a neighborhood is to be a good neighbor.

Nulty says the company will be using the technology to prevent any disruptive parties, paying close attention to bookings on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. It looks at how long guests are staying, past rental ratings, distance from home, and the number of guests.

So far, it has resulted in a 50% reduction in unauthorized parties. In 2023, more than 67,000 people across the U.S., including 950 in Philadelphia, were deterred from booking entire home listings over those weekends.

Those who are flagged, but arent actually planning on throwing a party, can call Airbnbs customer service line.
