To qualify as a Superhost, you must meet specific standards designed to recognize consistency, professionalism, and guest satisfaction.
Current Eligibility Standards
Superhost is a recognition tier awarded to hosts who consistently deliver high-quality experiences. It signals reliability to guests and gives your listing an edge in searches.
How to Qualify
- Maintain a 90%+ response rate to guest inquiries.
- Host a minimum number of bookings in a review period (varies by market).
- Earn consistently high reviews (average 4.7+).
- Keep your cancellation rate low.
- Offer at least one Add-On that enhances the guest experience.
What Could Affect Your Status
- A single late or missed response can lower your response rate.
- Multiple disputes or cancellations within one review cycle can disqualify you.
- Failure to update your calendar leads to guest complaints that weigh against eligibility.
Pro Tip
Speed matters more than perfection: responding quickly (even with a simple “I’ll confirm shortly”) maintains your response rate and reassures guests.
Troubleshooting Suggestions
- If you believe you qualify but don’t see an upgrade, check for recent disputes.
- Superhost reviews are done quarterly, not instantly.
- For clarification, review your Performance Dashboard → Superhost Criteria.
Pro Tip
Review your performance dashboard regularly. Metrics are updated automatically, and knowing where you stand can help you plan improvements before the next review cycle.
Troubleshooting Suggestions
- If your rating falls, respond to reviews and improve your listing details.
- If add-ons aren’t visible, confirm they’re saved under your active listing.
- If your response rate drops, enable notifications so you never miss a message.
