Airbnb is upping the game for finding exceptional places to stay. Airbnb unveils a new highlight system. This shines a light on the crème de la crème of listings, guaranteeing you a connection with unforgettable abodes. This Airbnb highlight system, based on guest ratings, reviews, and reliability, helps travellers easily identify the very best top-rated stays on the platform.
Airbnb Top-Rated Stays
Airbnb awards listings ranked within the top 1%, 5%, or 10% with a golden trophy and a “Guest Favourites” badge. These will act as a clear signal of guest-approved quality. This dedication to transparency extends beyond the new highlight system. Features like Guest Favourites listings, with over 100 million booked nights since launch, and comprehensive guest reviews already play a crucial role in guiding travellers.
The desire for travel remains strong. Airbnb experienced its most successful first quarter ever in 2024, exceeding 130 million nights and Experiences booked. This surge in demand encompasses everything from sporting events to natural wonders, highlighting the platform’s diverse offerings.
