What is an Airbnb Superhost?

A Superhost is a distinction offered by Airbnb to the best hosts on the platform. Right, but how do we measure a host's quality? That is exactly what the requirements to become one are. We'll explain it below.

The most interesting thing about this category is that hosts do not need to apply to become one. The platform itself evaluates its list of hosts and rewards them automatically if they meet the requirements.

Advantages and benefits of being a Superhost on Airbnb

When you are a host in this category, your listings will have more visibility, and your bookings will increase. Furthermore, the reward for recommending hosting or staying on Airbnb will be 20% higher.

• Increase your income as a host. According to Airbnb itself, Superhosts earn 22% more income than regular hosts. This increase in income is primarily due to being able to charge a certain extra premium on the price of your tourist accommodation, and also...
• Increase the number of visitors to your listing. Having the Superhost badge on Airbnb significantly improves the SEO of your tourist accommodation, its positioning, and furthermore, users have a filter, as shown in the video below, with which to filter only accommodations from this type of host.

How to become a Superhost?

If you want to become an Airbnb Superhost, you must meet several requirements. The first, perhaps a bit obvious, is to have an Airbnb account. You can check out the guide for publishing on Airbnb. Also, keep in mind that the Superhost requirements below are calculated based on the last 12 months of activity. However, you do not need to have been on the platform for that whole year.

Requirements to be a Superhost

Specifically, to be an Airbnb Superhost, you must have met:

• You have 10 completed bookings. Or you have 100 nights booked, spread across at least 3 bookings.
• The review rate is over 50%. That is, half of your guests have reviewed you. If you need help with this, check out our post on Airbnb reviews.
• Your response rate is greater than 90%. That is, you answer 9 out of every 10 questions from potential guests that you receive. If maintaining such a high rate concerns you, take a look at this post on automatic response tools for hosts.
• No cancellations of any booking except in case of force majeure.
• Your rating is at least 4.8.

How to become a Superhost?

The best part is that once you meet the Superhost requirements above, Airbnb will automatically assign you the badge. No application is necessary. Evaluations are carried out on the first day of each calendar quarter.

If your host profile has met the Superhost requirements, you will receive an email from the platform announcing it.

Mistakes to avoid if you are a Superhost

Without a doubt, the platform will promote you. The mere fact of having this status will help you get more bookings. However, do not make these mistakes:

• Do not claim to be an agent or representative of Airbnb. The contractual relationship does not change with your badge.
• Do not use the badge in connection with false, misleading, or illegal information.
• Do not sell your Superhost account to a third party.

Differences between Superhost and Airbnb Plus

One of the most frequent doubts among hosts is what is the difference between being a Superhost and Airbnb Plus? In short, being a Superhost does not imply having an Airbnb Plus accommodation. But the opposite is true. That is, if you want your tourist accommodation to be considered Plus, your host profile must be a Superhost (an average rating of more than 4.8 in the last year and no cancelled bookings).

Being a Superhost does not imply being Airbnb Plus, but the reverse is true. That is, to have an Airbnb Plus accommodation, you need to be a Superhost.
