Airbnb defines a party as a gathering that occurs at an Airbnb listing and "causes significant disruption to neighbors and the surrounding community" Since the worldwide launch of Banerjee 's system in May , more than 320,000 guests have been blocked or redirected from booking attempts on Airbnb.

Some measures have worked better than others, but the company says party reports dropped 55% between August 2020 and August 2022 .
