If you were hoping to book an Airbnb as part of your Halloween celebration this year, think again. To limit the spread of COVID-19 and strengthen its policy against unauthorized parties, Airbnb will be banning one-night stays over Halloween weekend this year in the US and Canada, and any existing one-night bookings will be canceled.
This applies to bookings for entire homes on October 30 or 31, and is part of Airbnb’s attempt to prevent large gatherings and parties — both due to the pandemic and previous rowdy incidents at properties.
