Superhost
Superhost is Airbnb's status for hosts who meet its targets for rating, response rate, completed stays and cancellations. Airbnb checks it every three months and shows a badge on the host's listings.
Examples on this page use made-up homes and numbers to show the method. They are not client results.
What Airbnb looks at
Airbnb reviews the past 12 months each quarter. Its published criteria cover four things:
- Overall guest rating
- Response rate to messages
- Number of completed stays, or total nights across longer stays
- Cancellation rate
The exact thresholds are set by Airbnb and can change, so check its help centre for the current numbers.
Why it matters
- The badge appears in search results and on the listing, and guests can filter for it.
- It is a trust signal for guests choosing between similar homes.
- It is also a requirement for some Airbnb programs, such as joining its co-host network.
What it does not do
Superhost status does not by itself push a weak listing up the results. Price, availability, photos and recent reviews still decide most bookings.
