Hi everyone. May someone kindly assist me with step-by-step guidance on how to become an Airbnb Co-Host? I would really appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you! 🙏

@Bulelwa3 Where are you located at? Where do you want to be a co-host?

Hi @Joe771 I am in Johannesburg and would like to co- host in Sandton.

Hi @Quincy, thank you so much for this information. It’s very helpful. I’ve been hosting for five months now and have hosted 13 guests. I currently have a 4.9 rating, but I understand that I may still need to wait before I qualify. Am I correct in understanding that I don’t qualify yet?

Hi @Bulelwa3, thanks for your reply back to me! Yes, you're correct!
