What is Superhost?

A Superhost is a status badge awarded by Airbnb to hosts who consistently deliver outstanding guest experiences. To earn and maintain Superhost status, a host must meet specific criteria including a minimum number of completed stays, high overall ratings, a low cancellation rate, and fast response times.

Superhost status is reassessed quarterly. Hosts who meet the requirements keep the badge, while those who fall short lose it until they qualify again. The badge is displayed prominently on their listings and profile.

Why It Matters When Choosing Where to Live

The percentage of Superhosts operating near your address can tell you something about the nature of short-term rental activity in the area. A high concentration of Superhosts often indicates professional, established short-term rental operations rather than occasional spare-room rentals. These are hosts who have invested in the business and are unlikely to stop anytime soon.

While Superhosts tend to maintain their properties better and manage guests more carefully, a high Superhost percentage also signals that the area has a well-established STR ecosystem with consistent guest traffic.
