🔥Hot Take🔥: Airbnb needs to add levels to its "Super host" stat

Easton Hill

Agree or disagree?

With nearly 46% of hosts qualifying for the designation, it's not sufficiently helpful for guests to determine quality over time!

To illustrate my point:

SuperH.=New Host with 10 positive reviews
SuperH.=Old Host with negative reviews that "Got it together" this quarter 
SuperH.=Host that has consistently achieved quarter over quarter over hundreds of stays

My recommendations:

Add "Badges": to the Superhost designation
🎖How many quarters/years has this host been a Superhost
🎖How many stays have they hosted
🎖How many 1-star reviews have they earned (aka total disasters stays)

Allow guests to search for "Top hosts"
💻Additional search filters for hosts that are rockstars
💻Just like "Categories" create a Top hosts list in a city or area

- - - - - -

What are your thoughts?
Have you had a "Bad experience" with a superhost?
In what ways would you change the "Superhost" designation?

No disrespect, but I think this is a complete waste of time and energy.   Who cares really?    Airbnb makes our lives complicated enough as it is with all their gimmicks.     I say - simpler the better. 

Bottom line consumer just wants a nice place to stay and a fair price and Host - just wants to make good money.    I certainly wouldn't want to waste my energy deciphering through badges and what it all means.
