Airbnb Superhost Status

You just launched your Airbnb listing. Congrats! That in itself is a moment worth celebrating so take the time to cheers your family with some nice bubbly.

Now comes the Superhost status. Get this as soon as you can. If you have to lower your nightly price, do it to get people reviewing you as quick as possible in the initial stages of your listing.

The criteria for Airbnb Superhost is as follows:

• Complete at least 10 trips or 3 reservations that total at least 100 nights.

• Maintain a 90% response rate or higher.

• Maintain a 1% cancellation rate (1 cancellation per 100 reservations) or lower, with exceptions made for those that fall under Airbnb’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy.

• Maintain a 4.8 overall rating (based on the date the guest left a review, not the date they checked out, over the past 365 days)

This Superhost status will be vital to your success on Airbnb’s platform because the algorithm puts your listing in higher priority as opposed to others. Plus, guests will know that you are attentive and will feel more confident booking with you.

Keep that momentum up and if you need to hire a co-host to get there, do it.
