Spotify's algorithm works really well until you let someone else use the account. I wish there was a "child mode", "party mode" or whatever to disable updating recommendations.

Perhaps Private listening is what you're looking for, assuming it's working as advertised.

Pandora gives people granular access to the songs that are being used as the basis for recommendations. You would just delete the songs used by guests.

There is. Called "private session" in the settings.

Oh ... today I learned. Awesome.

It is cryptically called "hide activity" in my translation of Spotify.
