In an unusual turn of events, an Airbnb booking was recently cancelled due to a violation of the host's occupancy limit. The host, Reina Tarte, a recognised Superhost, had to cancel the reservation when it was discovered that the number of visitors at the property would exceed the booking total and the occupancy limit for her listing.

The booking in question was for two guests. However, it appears that more individuals were expected to stay, leading to the cancellation. Airbnb hosts set House Rules for their spaces, which may include quiet hours, maximum number of guests permitted, or restrictions on the number of visitors. These rules are designed to ensure a comfortable and safe stay for all guests, as well as to manage potential liability issues.

In this case, the host had sought to confirm in advance that just two guests would be staying. Unfortunately, the guest did not provide accurate information, leading to the cancellation.

Airbnb, in their commitment to both hosts and guests, provided support to the guest, including a full refund. The company encourages guests to communicate with the host via on-platform messaging before booking to help ensure the space will best fit their needs.

It's worth noting that host cancellations on Airbnb are rare. This incident underscores the importance of guests respecting the occupancy limits set by Airbnb hosts.

House Rules are clearly visible on listing profiles, so guests can review them ahead of booking. By doing so, they can ensure that their stay will not only be comfortable but also in line with the host's expectations.

In conclusion, while this incident may have been inconvenient for both the host and the guest, it serves as a reminder for all Airbnb users to respect the House Rules set by the hosts and to communicate effectively before booking.
