I don’t know if others have had this kind of thoughts regarding this badge, but as a dedicated host with 9 years of experience, 164 reviews, and a consistent 4.88 rating, I’m concerned about the criteria for the "Guest Favorite" badge. Despite being a Superhost for nearly the entire duration, I don't qualify for the badge due to not meeting the 4.9 rating threshold. It seems unfair that hosts with far fewer reviews can achieve this recognition more easily. I believe the evaluation should consider the longevity and consistency of hosts like myself.
If it had only been over the past year as the superhost badge is, I would have had an average rating of 5.0 and therefore I do not understand their ratings. I hope Airbnb reconsiders this policy to reflect the true dedication of long-term hosts.
Don’t you think this is strange?
Thanks
