How Hosts helped shape the 2022 Winter Release

[Airbnb]

Hosts gave us a lot of feedback in the past year, whether you discussed topics here in the Community Center, commented through our submission form, or participated in one of over 50 listening sessions worldwide. We listened, and then we went to work.

Today we’re excited to roll out some major upgrades you’ve been asking for. The Airbnb 2022 Winter Release includes more AirCover for Hosts protections and a simpler reimbursement process, a new set of enforceable standards that all guests must follow, and new categories and amenities to help showcase diverse listings.

You can find a summary of what’s new, with a special video message for Hosts, on the Resource Center.
