Superhost is a status given by Airbnb to outstanding hosts that meet these 4 criterias: You have a 4.8+ overall rating (out of 5) You have hosted 10+ stays in the past year. You have less than a 1% cancellation rate (this basically means: never cancel a confirmed reservation on your end)

To be eligible for Airbnb Superhost status in 2026, you must be a listing owner (or primary host) who meets four strict criteria measured over a rolling 365-day period. First, you must have completed at least 10 stays or 3 stays that total at least 100 nights. Second, you must maintain a response rate of 90% or higher, meaning you answer most new guest inquiries within 24 hours. Third, your cancellation rate must be less than 1%, which effectively means you cannot cancel on a guest except in "Major Disruptive Events" or extreme emergencies. Finally, you must maintain an overall rating of 4.8 or higher based on guest reviews. Airbnb automatically audits accounts four times a year—in January, April, July, and October—to award or renew the badge. The eligibility is based solely on performance data; you cannot "apply" for the status. Interestingly, co-hosts are not eligible for the badge on their own profiles; the Superhost status is tied specifically to the account of the listing owner, serving as a "seal of approval" for guests looking for reliability and exceptional hospitality.
