Benefits of Being an Airbnb Superhost. 

In addition to receiving a Superhost Badge on your profile that all your potential guests will be able to see, your hard work and effort will allow you to enjoy these incredible benefits:

  1. Search filter. Competition is tough these days. However, you will have a head start over other listings since guests will be able to find your property using the Superhost search filter. 
  2. Preferential positioning. If you thought the search filter was good enough, you will be amazed when you realize your listings are in a preferential position on Airbnb’s search result pages thanks to your Superhost status. 
  3. Attract more guests. As a Superhost, not only do you get ranked higher on searches but Airbnb may include you in their newsletters. This extra exposure is a great way to get more clicks and bookings!
  4. Priority support. Being a Superhost allows you to be part of an exclusive group of hosts that receive priority support whenever they call or send a message to Airbnb. 
  5. Higher-income. Not only will your Superhost badge make you more reliable and credible to your guests, but it will also allow you to charge a slightly higher rate, thanks to your reputation for providing exceptional service and a memorable experience. 
  1. Bonus referral income. For any new users you onboard to Airbnb, you will receive 20% extra if you are a Superhost, the perks just keep coming!
  2. Product exclusives. Airbnb will reward your effort and success with invitations to attend Airbnb exclusive events to preview upcoming releases and new features.
  3. Travel coupon. If you are able to keep your Superhost status for a whole year and have a listing on the day you celebrate your year anniversary, Airbnb will provide you with a $100 travel coupon for your own trip. 
  4. Gained Experience. Achieving Superhost status does not come easy. In fact, there are some prerequisites like maintaining a 4.8 rating within the past year or accomplishing 10 stays, to name a few. Nevertheless, from the outside looking in this shows how versed you are as a host and the experience you gained in the industry over time, giving you the upper hand above all other hosts. A great achievement overall, and Airbnb recognizes that as well.
  5. Community. It is important as a Superhost to have a support system, luckily the Superhost community is just that. Whether you’re looking for advice on how to improve your short-term rental or are just looking for someone to vent to, the community is nothing short of amazing. The connections, resources, and people you encounter throughout this journey are what makes this industry so great.

As you can see, the benefits of being a Superhost at Airbnb can support your short-term rental property business greatly, as well as reward you with unique, personal experiences. But with great benefits also comes great responsibility, so make sure to provide the best services to your guests and you will, in turn, reap the rewards.
