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 @Carolina-Cândido-Pereira0 😊, 

Thank you for sharing this picture here!

Are you already fully booked for Christmas?

[Laurelle3]

@Rebecca my word would be "Enriched" 

The word comes to me through our Guests who cross our doorstep and we are able to Share our home with them. Each giving Joy to one another. When the opportunity arises it is  sharing information  stories and tips of our neighbourhood and where our Guests live and where they are travelling too.

Hi @Laurelle3!

I'm so happy that your experience in 2023 was so positive! What are you focusing on for the new year? What are you looking forward to in the coming year? ✨

[Laurelle3]

@Alex you have written 2023 a lot has moved since then.

2025 we Were "enriched" with our Guests.

We will be travelling a little bit next year. So I hope to meet Airbnb Hosts when we stay in their accommodation. The sad thing is when you book a place you don't know if the property is managed by the Host or a property manager.

This is a flaw with the system and as  Community Leader we are asking that the listing is defined when we book

Hi @Jay2697, 

From what I understand from your post, you’re sharing that you have developed a lot during this year. What new things have you learned? What have you noticed that you’ve improved on as a host?✨

Hi @Bec3748 😊, 

It’s so nice to read how passionate you are!

How long have you been hosting so far?

[Bec3748]

thanks @Elisa I have been hosting for just over 12 months 🙂 

it very quickly became a mission to create a space where people could properly exhale. I've learnt so much already and still love it 

[Elisa]

Hi @Bec3748 😊,

In one word: Delicious!

Hi @Adham20 😊, 

Thank you for sharing this here!

In what way has this year been delicious for you?

'Rollercoaster' - Here in the Philippines islands we had the unfortunate situation of suffering multiple earthquakes, typhoons, and tropical storms resulting in thousands of local deaths, property damage, and general chaos. The uncertainty and devastation to local infrastructure crippled business in the  region (Cebu, Region VII) and we are still recovering with internet restored last week.

Our property in the City was spared from damage being a sub-penthouse apartment high above the flooding in the streets. Our place in the province however required a major cleanup with a few inches of mud across nearly everything.

I'm looking forward to reading some less intense recounts of the past year from other owners for some minimal assurance that not everything is turbulent in the world. UK weather is generally benign.
