What is an Airbnb Superhost?

25/04/2024

An Airbnb Superhost is a designation given to experienced hosts on the Airbnb platform who consistently provide exceptional hospitality to their guests. To qualify as a Superhost, hosts must meet specific criteria set by Airbnb, including:

  1. Response Rate: Superhosts are required to maintain a high response rate to inquiries and booking requests from guests. This typically means responding to at least 90% of messages within 24 hours.

  2. Acceptance Rate: Superhosts are expected to accept a high percentage of booking requests. While there isn't a specific threshold, hosts are encouraged to accept as many requests as possible to demonstrate their commitment to accommodating guests.

  3. Commitment to Hosting: Superhosts must have a track record of hosting guests consistently over a specified period, usually at least 10 stays in the past year.

  4. High Ratings: Superhosts consistently receive excellent reviews from guests, with an average rating of 4.8 stars or above. These ratings reflect the overall guest experience, including factors such as cleanliness, communication, and accuracy of the listing description.

  5. Responsibility and Compliance: Superhosts must comply with Airbnb's community standards and policies, including safety and cleanliness guidelines, as well as local regulations.

Once a host meets these criteria, Airbnb automatically awards them the Superhost status, which is displayed prominently on their listing profile. Airbnb superhosts receive various benefits, including increased visibility in search results, priority support from Airbnb's customer service team, and access to exclusive resources and events.

Being recognized as a Superhost is not only a badge of honor but also a testament to a host's dedication to providing exceptional experiences for their guests, which can lead to increased bookings and higher earnings on the platform.

How many Airbnb Superhosts are there?

Airbnb has not publicly disclosed the exact number of Superhosts on its platform. The number of Superhosts can fluctuate over time as hosts meet or fail to meet the eligibility criteria, and new hosts join the platform.

Airbnb periodically updates the list of Superhosts, and hosts who meet the criteria are automatically awarded the Superhost status. While the exact number of Superhosts is not publicly available, it's safe to assume that there are thousands of Superhosts worldwide, given the platform's global reach and the popularity of short-term rentals.
