Summer rentals only - what about superhost status?

Hi,

I have a beachside property in Spain which only ever attracts summer rentals to families with children during the school hols. We do zero business between October and June.  I have worked hard and built up my hosting to superhost status this year  to find that it lasts for only 3 months and by the time my next guests start looking, my superhost status will have lapsed.  What can I do about this?  Obviously it saves everyone time to have a badge of trust.

@Jac5 Unfortunately you wouldn’t meet the minimum requirements for SH under those circumstances. No biggy - most guests have no clue what a “Super Host” is anyhow.

Hi @Jac5

So long as you meet these requirements for the previous 12 months you will be a superhost in 3 months or 6 months or forever.

 

  • Hosted at least 10 trips
  • Maintained a 90% response rate or higher
  • Received a 5-star review at least 80% of the time you’ve been reviewed, as long as at least half of the guests who stayed with you left a review
  • Completed each of your confirmed reservations without cancelling

Thanks Jeff, so does that mean that as long as I achieved it once in a year, the status carries forward to subsequent quarters? Jac
