Airbnb party detection rejecting potential bookers! What can I do?

Scott K.
Posted

This new Airbnb AI party blocker is potentially costing me thousands of dollars. I've spoken to two groups now over the past few months who said they couldn't book my property because Airbnb rejected them when they're staying with children, grandparents, and extended family.

I have larger 6 bedroom homes. I'm being unfairly targeted by this dumb@ss system that simply says "oh too many people! Can't let you bother the neighbors" 

IVE called Airbnb support but they say they are powerless to step in and override it. 

I Have no clue what to tell these potential guests how to get around this block. They clearly aren't partying, I don't allow excessive guest counts, and I require guests to be over 25 years old. What else could I be doing?

1. Use Vrbo.

2. Make sure your property has a name that can be Google to find you.

3. Have a picture of your property that just happens to have a sign on your property with your property name and phone number.
