We reward positive behavior hosts in order to make the user experience of guests as good as possible. The reward of this appreciating is shown in the position of your ranking. Please note that if your ranking has decreased, this does not necessarily mean that your performance has decreased. It is very well possible that other hosts just perform better. There are various factors that have an influence on the ranking, as shown below.
Response time: The faster you respond to booking requests and questions of guests the better.
Acceptance rate: The more booking requests you accept, the better. That is why we recommend applying for Instant Booking.
Good reviews: Reviews reflect the experience of previous guests. The more great reviews, the better!
Instant booking: Guests love to book nice and fast. By offering Instant Booking you help them in a great way. Good job!
Cancellations: Just do everything possible to avoid canceling a booking. Simply because that is about the worst that can happen to a guest. No good.
