Why Are Airbnb Ratings Important?

Airbnb Ratings

Reviews and ratings play a pivotal role when you are purchasing anything online. The same goes for accommodation facilities at Airbnb.  Airbnb ratings are crucial in ranking any listing.

Well, obviously, the more good ratings a host will have, the more bookings he will score. Similarly, to be recognized as a reliable guest that every host would offer their property, it is essential for guests to have good ratings too.

1. Airbnb Ratings for Hosts

Here are some reasons why every host should strive to gain a five-stars rating:

a. Reliability And Credibility

When it comes to purchasing things, no buyer would want to procure a product that has a rating of less than 3.3 out of 5, but if any product has a rating of more than 4 or 4.5, he will obviously get inclined to that item.

The same is the case for the Airbnb business. You can upload the best pictures of your place and write a good listing, but if your rental has low Airbnb ratings, then you will have a hard time scoring bookings of your rental home.

Having high ratings means your previous guests have enjoyed their stay and your services and amenities are exemplary. Similarly, your low ratings depict that your place isn’t as much of a top-notch as you have described in your listing and shown in pictures. This can affect the credibility of your listing in the long run.

b. Superhost

Airbnb grants a superhost status to those hosts that have successfully gathered a 5-star Airbnb rating and have 80% positive reviews. This status will be visible in the form of a badge on your listing.

For many people, vacation trips are special, and they don’t want any hustle which they are enjoying their time. Therefore, many guests tend to choose superhosts only because they are confident that they will offer the best place to stay and exceptional services. Least to say, superhosts are the most reliable hosts on Airbnb.

c. Accuracy

No matter how alluring one paints their listing, Airbnb ratings show off their actual picture. However, guests aren’t always generous and are a bit stubborn when it comes to rating your place. But, you shouldn’t worry about it because most of the guest’s ratings are honest, and therefore, one can say that these Airbnb ratings are genuine and show the accuracy of the listing.

2. Airbnb Ratings for Guests

Yes, hosts too can rate their guests. However, these Airbnb ratings of guests won’t show until the guest has left the ratings and 14 days has passed after the check-out.

The host rating their guests is the exact reason why guests rate the hosts.

One may think that as a guest, their Airbnb ratings aren’t that important. Who would decline a booking request, right? Wrong! A host can decline your booking request anytime if they sense anything suspicious, and Airbnb ratings show your credibility as a guest.

Your ratings as a guest show how easy or stubborn you are to work with or whether you will follow all the house or not.

These guest ratings help other hosts to know how reliable the guest is and whether or not they should accept their booking.

Many guests are a nuisance, and some would even damage the host property with no remorse. So, to keep these trouble-making guests exploit hosts further, Airbnb gives opportunities to hosts to rank their guests.

Usually, Airbnb sends a message to a host after the guest check-out to rate them.
