What is Guest Favorite?

Guest Favorite is a recognition badge awarded by Airbnb to listings that consistently receive outstanding reviews and high satisfaction scores from guests. It indicates that past guests have had particularly positive experiences at the property.

The Guest Favorite badge is displayed on the listing page and in search results, making these properties more visible and attractive to potential bookers.

Why It Matters When Choosing Where to Live

A high concentration of Guest Favorite listings near your address suggests that the area's short-term rentals are popular and well-reviewed, meaning they attract steady bookings. While this is good news for travelers, it means the STR activity is likely to be consistent and ongoing. These are not underperforming listings that might disappear from the market.

Guest Favorite listings tend to have higher occupancy rates, which translates to more frequent guest traffic in your building or neighborhood.
