Introducing Airbnb Guest Favorites
In your search for a vacation rental home, you may have seen the new Airbnb Guest Favorites badge on some of the homes. You might be wondering what guest favorites means on Airbnb.
What Does Airbnb Guest Favorites Mean?
Airbnb launched Guest Favorites to showcase the collection of the most-loved homes on Airbnb. It’s based on ratings, reviews, and reliability. To earn the badge, homes have excellent reviews and are rated above 4.9 stars. Of the 7 million homes around the world listed on Airbnb, only 2 million received the distinction.
As part of the Airbnb 2023 Winter Release, Airbnb announced this new designation to showcase highly rated homes. Homes are rated on specific categories including ease of check-in, cleanliness, listing accuracy, host communication, location, and value.
You can find the homes with Airbnb Guest Favorites badge in the search results, on the listing page or even filter for guest favorites.
Guest Favorites vs Superhost
So what happens to the Superhost status with the introduction of the Guest Favorites badge? The Superhost program is not changing. It still recognizes hosts for their track record of outstanding hospitality. Performance will continue to be verified quarterly. Both Superhosts and Guest Favorites will coexist since they serve different purposes. While Superhosts are high ranking hosts, the Guest Favorites badge recognizes highly rated individual properties.
“Nearly two-thirds of Guest Favorites come from Superhosts.“
