Describe the year 2025 as a host in one word

[Rebecca]

Hi everyone 👋 

We’re almost at the end of another hosting year, and I thought it would be fun to reflect on how it’s been for you. 

If you had to describe your 2025 as a host in just one word, what would it be? 

Whatever your word, I’d love it if you could share it below and tell me a little about why you chose it. 

I can’t wait to read your words and stories. ✨

Surprise

[Rebecca]

Ohh @Till-and-Jutta0 - a good surprise, I hope? 

[Till-and-Jutta0]

In one word: YES!

[Rebecca]

Well that's great to hear @Till-and-Jutta0 😍

Overachieving. 

[Rebecca]

@Lloyd151 I love that for you! Where have you overachieved, please tell us more.

Before starting to host, I was hoping for 50% booking monthly. I only started 8 months ago and hit Superhost in the first quarter, and requalified. The bookings, even in the midst of Hurricane Melissa, was still decent because we have solar and 2 water tanks. 

suffice it to say I’m generally 75%-90% booked most months, with 24 x 5 ⭐ reviews! This is a very pleasant surprise!!!

[Rebecca]

@Lloyd151 That’s a solid booking rate, especially with everything the weather’s thrown at you. Having solar and extra water tanks must’ve helped a lot during the hurricane. How did you manage things during the hurricane, in terms of your guests? I hope everyone was safe.

[Rebecca]

Another great, positive sentiment! Thank you @Meshell6. I'd love to hear more about your year has been 'forward'!

Satisfying - I am new to hosting on Airbnb, just a month old. Its really satisfying to see Guests, fulfill their needs, interacting with them. Really exciting.
