Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) announced on Thursday that it has rolled out a comprehensive set of ground rules for guests that aim to provide greater clarity for travelers on the expectations to treat Hosts and homes with respect. The ground rules cover issues like cleanliness, noise, damage, smoking, and approved guests, among others. While Airbnb (ABNB) noted that the majority of guests are considerate already, the company is looking to improve the rental process.
"We believe these standards can help make stays more enjoyable for both parties, as well as foster a greater sense of connection. Since late June alone, weâve provided reactive guidance and education to more than 50,000 guests globally as part of our efforts to enforce these ground rules."
Airbnb (ABNB) said the guidance aims to help guests make use of constructive feedback from their Hosts and avoid more serious issues in the future. The company reiterated that in cases where it receives reports of repeated or severe violations of the ground rules by a guest, actions taken could include suspension or removal from the Airbnb (ABNB) platform. The updated hosting quality system is also expected to provide Hosts with actionable guidance about how they can improve, and when repeated or severe violations of the ground rules for Hosts are reported, listings may be removed from the platform.

Shares of Airbnb (ABNB) tricked 0.25% higher in premarket trading on Thursday.
