Inside look: Superhost appreciation party

Achieving Superhost status is an incredible achievement, one that represents standout hospitality, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Meeting that high bar is a huge win. Continuing to meet that high bar is even more impressive.

 

In fact, fewer than 4,000 people have maintained consecutive Superhost status since the program was introduced five years ago. That’s some 60 months of zero cancellations and five-star reviews. At Airbnb, we decided that merited a party.


In March, we invited 12 of the most tenured Superhosts to Airbnb headquarters in San Francisco, California, to celebrate their hosting success. A sign greeted them at the event: “You’ve hosted the world. Now it’s time for us to host you.” That says it all!

 

Take a look at some photos of the party, below, and stay tuned—this event was so much fun, we plan to host more Superhost celebrations in the future. In the meantime, thank you to all of you who are Superhosts.

Johanna gave out Superhost pins and nametags and led the group on a tour of Airbnb headquarters, which includes meeting and conference rooms modeled after actual listings. Johanna was the perfect person to act as tour guide: She and her husband, Gian, are Superhosts themselves, and they first met when Joh was a guest at Gian’s home in Italy 7 years ago.

Does this look familiar?
Superhost Kitty and her husband joined hands above a replica of their Airbnb listing, a “mushroom dome” cabin in California, on the fourth floor of Airbnb’s San Francisco headquarters.

Well said, those Guest books are always a treasure & bring lots of warm fuzzies to one's heart.

 

All the best

I also have a guest book.  It was like a report card of the job I am doing.  My Mother-in-Law

before she passed at 96 last year read it every time she visited.  It is always nice to

know that you made someone's stay special and look back on all the people from

various countries you have hosted.

Congratulations to every Superhost!   What a nice gesture by Airbnb to recognize these hosts. Great work by all.  As superhosts, we also get the additional reward of meeting some fantastic guests.!

Sorry...but I must say...how did you select the superhost?  I'm a person of color (african american female) and would love to have attended as Airbnb still needs to work harder in this area.  Yes...I reached the superhost status...
