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

Flexible!

[Emilie]

@Ronald765 I'd love to hear in what way it was flexible, that's a very interesting choice of word! Did you have to adapt much?

[Ronald765]

Flexible with reacting to the needs of the property. I lived in the property for two yrs never a problem with a toilet. First time renting it, the people message me within 2 hours that there’s a stopped up toilet. Jump through hoops to fix that. Two renters later another toilet started leaking. Jump through hoops to fix that. So, have to stay flexible for when things happen. This is if you’re doing everything yourself I guess. I want to stay out of the way customers way as much as possible since I’m advertising peace and quiet but want to make sure to fix things in a timely manner.

@Ronald765 What an rollercoaster, "flexible" makes perfect sense now! Everything is a learning curve at first, and it seems like your approach to the bumps on the road have paid off. 😊

Unexpected

[Emilie]

@Fouad74 Not that's picked my curiosity ... what was most surprising last year for you? 🙂

[Fouad74]

High season was not as busy as usual and in the low season it was busy 😅

[Emilie]

That is rather unexpected indeed!

Do you have any hypothesis as to why the seasons were reversed? It'll be interesting to see how 2025 goes now. 💡

Fulfilling

[Emilie]

@Ethelyn1 That's simply wonderful 😊 What aspect of hosting have you found the most fulfilling?

[Ethelyn1]

I work hard to make guests feel comfortable and appreciated. I am fulfilled when they acknowledge my efforts and show their appreciation in their reviews or messages in my guest book. The support I receive from Airbnb and the number of times I have made Superhpst have also contributed to my fulfillment.

Thank you @Ethelyn1 for telling us more, you sound really passionate about hospitality and your guests clearly can tell too. 🤗
