Rating of 4.93.Does anyone know how this host can obtain a 4.93 rating from these figures please?

It just doesn't add up to me mathematically.

@Myra7 

The sub-categories are not included in the superhost calculations - just the Overall Rating scores. So the host may have had a majority of 5* Overall Scores, but have been marked down somewhat in the various subcategories.

Also, a host needs to have had 10 guests stays over a 12 month period to qualify for SH status - although those could be 10 single 1-night stays, one after the other, so technically, it's possible to become a superhost after only hosting for less than a fortnight (and many do, which in itself, makes a mockery of the entire system)

Tip from a 10 year Airbnb veteran - stay chilled, enjoy your hosting, do your very best to make sure your guests have a memorable visit and a wonderful time - and never, ever worry about the ridiculous superhost status (your own, or anyone else's). Quite frankly, it's not worth the paper it's written on, and is a source of waaay too much stress and angst for hosts. Just do your thing, and have fun 😉

hi,

hope you are well. 
if you share your individual overall ratings for the 15 reviews ( how many 5*, 4* etc) I can show you! 
thanks,

yadira 🙂

Thanks Yadira, I’ve now had it explained to me. Thankyou for taking the time to respond.

The subcategories (cleanliness, accuracy, value, location, and communication) are NOT averaged together to get the overall rating. The overall rating is a separate category for which the guest choose a star rating (1-5.) So you can have a perfect 5.0 overall rating but a 4.3 in cleanliness and vice versa.

@Myra7  You wrote "interesting you think they just count the overall rating." It isn't a matter of what Susan thinks. It's how the system works. Overall is a separate rating and the only one counted for Superhost status. That's a fact, not an opinion.
