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. ✨

Hi @Ricardo766!

What situations did you find challenging but were able to learn from? I’d love to know how you managed them!🏡

Tiring

(because of a number of difficult guests who needed a lot of attention).

Those automated messages and someone who can handle the day to day makes the hosting life 10x more efficient and less of a hassle. See if you can find the most common questions answers in a way that’s detailed. That should solve majority of the battle

Hi @Emiel1 😊, 

I’m sorry about this, it can happen.

What kind of attention were your guests looking for?

[Beverley123]

Frustrating

Our rental is near Yosemite National Park. Reservations were down this year, especially in the off-season. The federal shutdown didn't help. And it's the first time I encountered guests who seemed to create problems to complain about so they could get a refund of the cleaning fee. But, I try to focus on the enjoyable aspects of hosting. Receiving nice comments and feeling I contributed in a positive way to someone's vacation makes me happy.

@Beverley123  , you’re setting up for a great future. Now is the best time to analyze the environment and appeal to different things in different seasons. This may come with pricing adjustments which can be of benefit if done correctly. Pay attention to the complaints. I’ve revitalized listings based on 2 negative reviews. It’s all in the detail

I'm sure you will continue to do well. If you ever need a second set of eyes on the plan Im more than happy to assist

Hi @Beverley123 😊, 

I’m really sorry about the situation, I understand how you feel.

How is the Christmas period looking for you? Are you already fully booked for that time?

[Raphael618]

Optimistic.

Because people are nice, warm, caring, open minded. And this is definitly important for our future, for all of us to live peacefully with each other and not against each other.

Hi @Raphael618 😊, 

I’m happy to see you have such a positive approach!

How long have you been hosting?

[WeHost-DR0]

Frustrating, less support to hosts from Airbnb. 

[Elisa]

Hi @WeHost-DR0 😊, 

I’m sorry about this.

I’ll DM you if you’d like to share more with me, and I’ll do my best to help!
