Introducing the 2023 Airbnb Winter Release: Making hosting even easier this holiday season

On November 8, following a year of near continuous improvements based on community feedback, Airbnb announced its 2023 Winter Release, which brings increased transparency and reliability across the platform, and so much more just in time for holiday travel.

Airbnb has more than 7 million homes all over the world. Each home is one-of-a-kind, and this uniqueness is what sets Airbnb apart. But with so much variety, it can be hard to know what youre going to get. This is why many people prefer hotels, and its the #1 obstacle preventing them from booking on Airbnb.

Airbnb introduced three major upgrades to help guests understand exactly what to expect before they book:

Introducing Guest Favorites

The best way to find a great place to stay is by knowing which homes guests love the most. Thats why Airbnb created Guest Favoritesa collection of the 2 million most-loved homes on Airbnb based on ratings, reviews, and reliability data from over half a billion trips.

• Great ratings and reviews

• Outstanding reliability

• Easy to discover on Airbnb

Nearly two-thirds of Guest Favorites come from Superhosts, whove been recognized for their track record of outstanding hospitality.

Revamped ratings and reviews

Guests have left over 371 million reviews about their stays on Airbnb. These ratings and reviews are the best way to understand the quality of a home. But today, there is limited information on the ratings page, and its hard for guests to find reviews that are relevant to them. The redesigned ratings page includes three new features that make reviews easier to read and much more helpful.

• Review sorting

• Rating distribution

• More review details

Introducing the Listings tab

Managing a listing is one of the most essential parts of hosting because its how guests learn about a home. In fact, listings with more details can get up to 20% more bookings. But many listings are missing the details guests care about because adding them has been too difficult. Thats why Airbnb is introducing the Listings taba set of new tools for Hosts to easily manage their listing and showcase the details of their home.

• Listing editor

• AI-powered photo tour

• Smart lock integration

Even more upgrades for Hosts

In addition to the new Listings tab, the 2023 Winter Release includes even more upgrades for Hosts.

• Pricing visibility

• Compare prices

• New earnings dashboard

• New options for CoHost payouts

• New Co-Host messaging

Hosts can try new features today by enrolling in Airbnb Early Access. Smart lock integration will be coming to Early Access for listings in the US and Canada later this year. Pricing visibility and compare prices will be available next year.
