I agree with you regarding the "Location." After all, what is ideal, say a remote place vs an urban one, is very subjective and likely to vary depending upon the purpose of the booking.

[@AirbnbUncovered]

That is very true!

[@taylorgarrett191]

Yes - guest favorite is showing on my listing. I am also a Super Host for 7 consecutive quarters!

[@AirbnbUncovered]

Congrats!

[@marcusbillings1644]

It's showing up on mine. Highest rated Airbnb in Indiana, averaging 500+ wishlist additions every month.

[@AirbnbUncovered]

Excellent!

[@therobinsnest3]

Just checked and this is showing up on both our listings.

[@nnkrentals]

Guest favorite!!

Do you mean overall rating average and separate criterion shall hit 4.9? I am struggling to follow Airbnb since June - had a break previously and now back on London market with a new listing. Thanks for your input. Good luck to everyone 🍀 Airbnb explanation is so vague “ At least five reviews from guests Excellent reviews and ratings above 4.9 stars on average High marks from guest reviews for check-in, cleanliness, accuracy, Host communication, location and value Superb record of reliability, with Host cancellations and quality-related customer service issues of 1% on average”

But why is it so important to have it? We got it very fast but does it have any impact on our sales? I don't know. I was expecting to hear what this badge really do but there's no info about it in this video...

[@maybach7847]

If I mark a property as favorite to narrow my searches for later on, does this count or add up as Guest Favorite ?

[@shelleyalcinay59]

Yes it’s showing on our listing!

[@AirbnbUncovered]

Hooray!

Into year 3. Year one was better than year 2 and I attribute that to the local mill only had a short shutdown compared to year one. Year 3 we are way up in bookings already. Will break the 100 night mark this year, but our rates have stayed the same. Carry costs have gone up a bit, but my profit margin remains strong

[@AirbnbUncovered]

Great that your profit margin still remains strong!

I came back to host on airbnb after a 2 year break. I had imagined things would be fine because when i stopped, i had 4.9* and superhost. But to my surprise, all metrics are abysmal for me. My views are nearly 0, when compared to "other similar listings" they're 1 to 200, sometimes 1 to 1000. I can't even find access to support.

[@AirbnbUncovered]

When you take a break, you need to Snooze your listing, not just block your calendar. If you don't snooze it... you sink to the bottom of search rankings.

[@DeusExHomeboy]

@@AirbnbUncovered Oh wow, thanks a lot for your insight! Im surprised thought that happens. When i went on a break, i think I had de-listed them all.

[@nancyb2167]

I have it on one listing, but not on the other.

[@AirbnbUncovered]

Keep at it Nancy! You'll get it on the other soon.
