Describe your 2024 as a host in one word

[Rebecca]

Hello everyone 👋




As the year comes to an end, many of us reflect on how the last 12 months have gone. Whether it was full of ups, some downs, surprises or interesting meets, I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had yet another big year. ✨

With that in mind, I’d like to invite you to look back on 2024 together: can you think of one word that encapsulates the past year for you?

Looking forward to reading all your words of choice! 😃

Wishing you all the best, 
Rebecca

@Rebecca  for me the word is:

CHALLENGING 😉

Hi @Andrea6232 ! 😄

I really like the word you used to describe your year. I'm sure that you learnt a lot!  🧠

What are the situations you learnt the most from throughout this year?

Alex

Ciao @Alex ,

I have to say that where I learned the most was in this Community 😉

Learning curve! I just became a host in Nov 2024 so still very new but I have a good circle of friends that have done it for a while so get plenty of advice.

Hi @Anthony2414 😄

It was nice to see that this year has helped you learn! I feel that you and @Andrea6232 had a similar journey during 2024. 👀

What's the best lesson you've learned from this year? I'd love to hear it, and I'm sure this could help other members as well. 🤗

Regards,

Alex

@Alex I'm in a hot area (Daytona Beach, FL) and I've been very aggressive about getting as many bookings as possible to get going. This has posed 2 problems:

#1 - I've been taking reservation requests from guest with zero reviews and 1 month on Airbnb. I've been lucky so far, but that's bound to bite me at some point.

#2 - I've been DIY'ing the housekeeping/cleanup between guests and it has become a major hassle. I need to outsource it!

I'm so intrigued to know!

It's been a great year as an Airbnb host. If I had to choose one word to describe my experience, it would be "growth."

Hi @Farid217, 

A year of growth is a year well spent! In which aspect of hosting would you say you've grown the most in 2024? 🌟

Thanks,

Emilie
