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

Evolving!

[Emilie]

@Ericka104 A very dynamic choice of word! In which way would you say it has evolved the most this year? 💡

[Anton7298]

I can’t think of one word for everything that I have experienced this past one year but I think I can have one word for each of my experience

One

(ungrateful guest)

Bogus

(review policy)

Ignored

(by abb support)

Unfair

(star raiting / star requirements)

Grateful

(for all the guest that stayed with us)

Loved/Valued

(by fellow host and community managers)

Positive

(for 2025)

cheers

(to all)

Hi @Anton7298, 

That is definitely more than one word 😉 

I like that although you highlight some challenges, there are some very positive words too so it's all in all balanced. Picking up on your choice of word for the upcoming year, what are you most hopeful about? 🍀

Hello Paula,

Thank you for reaching out! I appreciate the invitation to reflect on the past year.

If I had to choose one word to capture my year as an Airbnb host, it would be “Growth”

This year has been filled with learning opportunities, building stronger connections with guests, and enhancing the hosting experience to provide even more comfort and value.

Thank you for fostering such a supportive community, and I look forward to seeing what 2025 will bring!

Best regards,

Mohammed Al-Daher

This year, as a first-time Airbnb host, has been a journey of gratitude and growth. I’ve truly enjoyed hosting guests from all around the world and experiencing different cultures and lifestyles through their stories. It has also taught me to pay more attention to details and provide high-quality service to ensure every guest has a warm and comfortable stay. This year has not only been about hosting but also about building meaningful connections. I look forward to creating even more wonderful memories next year!

This Year was ups and downs but it's fine overall
