The Truth About Airbnb Superhost Status | Jason Muth


Listen Later

Today, we're diving into a topic that’s essential for any serious Airbnb host—achieving and maintaining Superhost status. As a 29-time Superhost, I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to reach this level, and I’m here to share the insights and strategies that helped me get there.


In this episode, we’ll explore the Superhost criteria—like star ratings, response rates, and cancellations—and why earning this title is more than just a badge. I’ll also discuss how Superhosts earn an average of 29% more revenue, and offer actionable tips on how to boost your listing's performance, enhance guest experiences, and keep that all-important Superhost status.

Whether you're aiming to become a Superhost or maintain it, this episode will give you the tools you need to succeed. Let's get started!


Things discussed in this episode:


  • The criteria for becoming an Airbnb Superhost, including star rating, response rate, number of completed stays, and cancellation rate.
  • Jason's personal experience as a 29-time Superhost, including the one quarter he narrowly missed the qualification.
  • The financial benefits of Superhost status, with data showing Superhosts earn 29% more revenue annually.
  • The quarterly evaluation process for Superhost status and the rolling 12-month assessment period.
  • Tips for optimizing listings to attract more guests, such as completing all details, crafting an engaging description, and adjusting for seasonality.
  • The importance of providing exceptional guest experiences through communication, cleanliness, and attention to detail.
  • Strategies for building a strong review profile, including the value of having a high volume of positive reviews.
  • Viewing short-term rental properties as a true business and demonstrating to guests that their satisfaction is a priority.
