Superhost Status: Myth or Reality? Let’s Look at the Data

Welcome to Boostly Podcast Episode 750. stayfi.com/boostly Discount code: BOOSTLY  https://www.hostfully.com/boostly/ In this episode of the Boostly Podcast, Mark discusses the significance of Airbnb's Superhost badge with Kenny Bedwell, CEO of STR Insights. They explore the perception and impact of the badge, emphasizing that while it may slightly increase revenue through filters, it doesn't guarantee success for hosts. Bedwell explains that 56% of hosts are Superhosts, with criteria including a rating of 4.7 or higher and at least 10 nights booked per quarter. The conversation also covers the Guest Favorite badge, representing the top 20% of listings based on reviews, which can increase revenue by 11%. Bedwell highlights the importance of staying updated with Airbnb's amenities and optimizing listings on the platform. He shares tips on increasing guest reviews and achieving success as a host. The video ends with Bedwell promoting STR Insights' services to help investors find profitable short-term rental deals in the United States. https://Boostly.co.uk https://Boostly.co.uk/5steps https://instagram.com/boostlyuk https://Boostly.co.uk/podcast
