A recognition status awarded by Airbnb to hosts who consistently deliver high-quality guest experiences. Airbnb assesses all eligible hosts quarterly and automatically grants Superhost status to those who meet four criteria over the preceding 12 months: completing at least 10 reservations or 3 reservations totalling at least 100 nights, maintaining a 90% or higher response rate, keeping a cancellation rate below 1%, and holding an overall guest rating of 4.8 or above. Superhosts receive a badge on their listings, increased visibility in search results, and access to a host-only filter that some guests use when booking.
The short-term rental industry in Australia continues to grow, creating new opportunities for property owners and managers. Whether you are just starting out or looking to optimise your existing setup, understanding Superhost is an important step.
