Airbnb vows to verify all of its listings

Airbnb will conduct a comprehensive review of every property listed on its platform as part of a series of initiatives to improve trust, Brian Chesky, the company’s C.E.O., announced at the DealBook Conference yesterday.

“We want to give peace of mind to our guests,” Mr. Chesky said. The pledge comes less than a week after five people were killed at a party in an Airbnb rental house in Northern California on Oct. 31.

He didn’t describe exactly how the verification would work, perhaps because it’s such a gargantuan task, but said Airbnb would “be coming back with more details.” He said that the company would also conduct rigorous reviews of “high-risk” reservations, open a hotline for concerned neighbors and put in place new guarantees for dissatisfied customers.
