Welcome more guests
Attention from guests can lead to more bookings for Superhosts – and more money in their pockets.
Get special recognition
Guests trust that Superhosts are the best of the best. Our promotional emails and Superhost badges help them stand out even more.
Access exclusive rewards
Superhosts earn a $100 USD Airbnb coupon every year that they keep their status. And when they refer a new Host to sign up, Superhosts get an extra 20% on top of the usual referral bonus.

Your questions answered
What if I need to cancel because of an emergency?
If you have to cancel a reservation because of an emergency or an unavoidable reason, check if the reason is covered as an extenuating circumstance. If so, you’ll be able to waive any penalties and your cancellation won’t count against your Superhost eligibility. Make sure to contact Airbnb to file a claim within 14 days after you cancel the reservation (or before your next guest arrives). You may be required to submit documentation for Airbnb to review.Learn about Airbnb’s extenuating circumstances policy.
Do I need to be hosting for at least a year to become a Superhost?
There is no minimum tenure to become a Superhost. As long as you meet all the criteria by the assessment period (which takes place every 3 months), you can earn Superhost status.Every time we check that you’ve met the Superhost criteria, we look back over your past year of hosting to review your performance.
Do I need to apply?
