Airbnb and short stay apartment owners may have to pay up to $2000 compensation to neighbours and face being banned over rowdy guests under reforms to Victoria's accommodation laws.

Guests will be fined up to $1100 for being too noisy, behaving badly, causing health and safety hazards or damaging property.

The new laws will be introduced into parliament by the state Labor government this week.
