The key difference between an Airbnb Superhost and a Guest Favorite listing lies in their criteria and recognition
Superhost:
This is a status awarded to the host, not the listing.
Superhost status is based on metrics such as a high response rate, consistent 5-star reviews, no cancellations, and hosting experience (hosting at least 10 stays in the past year).
It reflects the host’s overall reliability, professionalism, and hospitality.
Guest Favorite:
This recognition is tied to a specific listing rather than the host.
A listing becomes a “Guest Favorite” if it consistently receives positive feedback from guests, often for factors like cleanliness, comfort, location, or unique features.
It highlights a property that guests have specifically enjoyed, even if the host isn’t necessarily a Superhost.
In summary, Superhost status is about the host’s performance and hosting behavior, while Guest Favorite focuses on the quality and appeal of a particular property.
