I had the same problem and solve it like this. :)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if str(message.channel.type) == "private":
        print("message is privat...")
    else:
        print("message is not private...")

Check if the channel is an instance of the PrivateChannel abstract base class:

from discord.abc import PrivateChannel
from discord.ext.commands import Bot    

bot = Bot(command_prefix='!')

@bot.command()
async def isprivate(ctx):
    await ctx.send(isinstance(ctx.channel, PrivateChannel))

bot.run("token")
