How many years have you been an Airbnb host?

[Rebecca]

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! I've been thinking about the hosting journey that you take and how it shapes your experiences. I wondered, how many years have you been hosting?

It’s interesting to hear the different stories and insights from each of you. Whether you’re a newbie or a experienced host, every story counts.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I've been a Superhost for nine years. I've never missed a quarter. Hosting has been and still is a wonderful journey. I couldn't be happier!

Hello @Nathan146 👋

That's impressive, being a Superhost for nine years and consistently hitting your targets! Hosting must have provided you with some interesting experiences over the years. What’s been one of your favourite moments while hosting?

I have been hosting for two years and there’s no looking back! It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey and, though the money that we earn from our home has been a huge blessing for us, I was surprised to find that I really love the guest interaction and connection. It’s been a highlight of my hosting experience, thus far!  Cheers from Manzanita, Oregon, USA!

Hello,

I am a host for 6 years.

Hi @Thanasis24 👋

Six years is a good stretch! Have you noticed any changes in hosting trends during that time?

[Thanasis24]

Hello Rebecca,

Indeed I face some trends that arise year after year.

In Athens AirBnB hosts are increased a lot and also there are increases in utilities due to inflation and government taxes e.g. environmental fees of significant amounts.

All above create difficulties in balancing proper price due to high competition.
