The Superhost system is not entirely credible. This time, because my listing has been successful, I am about to lose my Superhost status.
For the current 12 month period about to be reviewed, at the time of writing, I have been booked for all but 3 nights!
I am booked in advance for all bar the last 16 days of the 12 month period - we'll have to wait and see what happens duirng those 16 days.
During the current Superhost review period, I have had a 4 month booking, a 3 month booking, and a couple 1+ month bookings.
Having been booked with long stays and few vacant nights sounds great and I'm very happy with my clients, as are they with me. I have exceeded all AirBnB Superhost requirements... except for the number of bookings. AirBnB want 10 bookings. I've had 7. And AirBnB haven't included the first 24 days of the 12 month period because that booking began before current the 12 month period began.
So, if you want to have a succesful listing with long staying clients and few vacant nights, be prepared to lose your Superhost status.
AirBnB - how about taking into account longer stays or few nights vacant when calculating Superhost status?
