Today, we’re excited to share a video officially introducing the members of Airbnb’s Host Advisory Board.

 

As we recently announced, Airbnb is launching a formal program to give hosts a seat at the table. The Host Advisory Board is a group of selected hosts that will not only keep the community informed, but share your feedback directly with Airbnb leadership.  The board will also help inform how  the Airbnb Host Endowment is invested in the community, and influence policies, programs, and new products.

 

These 17 selected hosts were chosen for their passion, their contributions to the hosting community, and their desire to create a better future for all hosts—among other criteria. Together, they’ve hosted more than 15,000 guests with a combined total of 86 years of hosting experience and an average star rating of 4.9!

Watch the video above to meet the community members serving on the board and learn about their individual passions and experience. To find out more about how the board will work together to advocate for the community, check out the latest Host Update article featuring our Head of Hosting, Catherine Powell.

 

Do keep your eyes peeled here in the Community Center as we will be introducing the board members in the new year. There will be regular opportunities for our new board members to respond to your questions and address important topics.

Supposedly just responding once to a guest's inquiry, even if you don't respond to the next 5 annoying messages they send, is enough not to affect response rate. I've never tested that out, myself.

 

 

 

The rate would be updated in real time. As soon as you fail to respond in time, the response rate will drop.

 

 

 

But when you look at your stats, under Basic, I'm pretty sure those stats are counted from the time you started hosting. The stats under Superhost only take the previous 365 days from any given day into account.

 

 

 

If I'm wrong about that, hopefully someone will correct me.

@Sj21  You are totally correct about all of that.
