Airbnb guests perceived to be Black by hosts are slightly less successful at booking properties than White guests, according to a report from Airbnb itself.<\/p>\n

The report comes from Project Lighthouse, an effort Airbnb launched in 2020 to measure and tackle racial discrimination and bias on the platform. The initiative focused on the rate at which folks in the US from different racial groups would have their reservations confirmed after they tried to reserve a place, something the company referred to as the “booking success rate.”<\/p>\n

The results from the project revealed “the widest disparity exists between guests perceived to be Black and guests perceived to be White,” the internet biz said in its report [PDF<\/a>].<\/p>\n
