Airbnb Elevates Standards by Eliminating 100,000 Listings and Enhancing Verification Measures

07-03-24

In a decisive move to ensure the highest levels of quality and reliability across its platform, Airbnb has announced the removal of 100,000 listings, marking the company's most significant action to date in its commitment to excellence. Revealed during its "Spring Product Update," this initiative underscores Airbnb's dedication to fostering trust and satisfaction among its users.

Airbnb's commitment to quality was further highlighted last April with the introduction of a hosting quality assessment system. This innovative system evaluates properties on several critical factors, including subcategory ratings, frequency of host cancellations, accuracy of listings, quality of communication, and overall guest satisfaction. Through this rigorous assessment, Airbnb has identified and removed listings that consistently failed to meet the expected standards, aiming to enhance the guest experience across the board.
