Superhost Ambassadors are Superhosts who help people all over the world discover the benefits of hosting. They earn rewards for bringing new Hosts to Airbnb and provide one-to-one guidance and tools to help brand-new Hosts succeed.
Check out the Superhost Ambassador Program Terms and Conditions for more information.
If you’re a Superhost and want to share your experience with new Hosts, you could become a Superhost Ambassador through the Superhost Ambassador program.
The benefits of being a Superhost Ambassador include:
To be eligible to apply for the program, you must be a current Superhost and your account must be in good standing. To apply to become a Superhost Ambassador, visit the Superhost Ambassador program webpage.
Every 3 months, we check to make sure you continue to meet the following criteria:
Superhost Ambassadors who don’t meet the quarterly criteria may be granted a grace period to regain Superhost status. Airbnb reserves the right to pause participation in the program or require Hosts that do not maintain their Superhost status to reapply to the program at a later date.
There are 2 ways that you can interact with new Hosts:
To refer potential Hosts, you can go to your Ambassador dashboard, copy your unique referral link and share it through your preferred channels: messages, emails, social media and more. Potential Hosts who use your referral link will land on a customized page with your name and profile picture, where they can create a new listing.
Remember that you’ll only receive a reward if the new Host you refer follows your unique invitation link and creates a listing in the same session. You can refer anyone who's new to hosting on Airbnb, even if they already have an Airbnb account.
If a new Host has previously received a referral invitation from someone else or has previously been matched to a Superhost Ambassador, then you won't be eligible to receive a reward.
Earnings for Hosts you refer to Airbnb will be rewarded based on the Host Referral program terms. To view your anticipated cash reward, visit your Ambassador Dashboard. Financial rewards are periodically recalculated. Airbnb reserves the right to change how future financial rewards will be determined, as well as other terms of this program as set forth in the Host Referral terms.
You get paid when a new Host you have referred completes their first qualifying reservation, under the Host Referral program terms. To be eligible, the reservation must have a total value of at least $100 USD or the local equivalent (before taxes and fees)—and must be completed no later than 90 days after the new Host clicks on your referral link.
Note: This doesn’t mean that the nightly rate for the new listing has to be more than $100 USD, but it does mean that the total value of the reservation (including all nights) must be at least $100 USD.
Qualifying reservations must be legitimate bookings. Fraudulent reservations of any kind, agreements to share awards or other kickback schemes all violate the rules of the program. The Host must also be new to hosting on the platform, meaning they have never previously had an active listing. Please remember that anyone who’s previously received a referral invitation from another Host or who uses API-connected software is not eligible. People who live in certain geographies are also not eligible.
Payouts typically happen about 14 days after the guest checks out from the qualifying reservation (but may be longer depending on verification requirements or circumstances beyond our control). For example, if a qualifying reservation’s checkout date is 10 January, the payment will typically be sent around 24 January.
If you’re approved to be a Superhost Ambassador, you may be able to connect with new Hosts through our Superhost Ambassador program. Using your experience, you can help guide them through the process of setting up their own listing, give advice about things like cleaning and taking the right photos, share experiences and insights, and earn rewards along the way.
As part of the program, you’ll have access to a dashboard where you can keep track of the new Host connections and watch their progress. Airbnb has a library of tips, suggestions and workshops to support your journey with prospective Hosts for use at your discretion. We’ll make our resources available to help you answer questions that might come up.
Our goal is to match you with new Hosts who can benefit from your specific experiences. We use a matching system that is based on a number of factors, including:
Note: We periodically reevaluate our matching system and these factors are subject to change. Matches in different countries factor in shared language.
As a Superhost Ambassador, you’ll be able to see information about your interactions with prospective Hosts. This information includes things like response rate or the percentage of prospective Host mentees that make it to their first reservation. Periodically, new statistics will be added so you can analyze your interactions with prospective Hosts.
The amount you earn from mentoring new Hosts is based on your country of residence. To view your anticipated cash reward, visit your Ambassador Dashboard. Financial rewards are periodically recalculated. Airbnb reserves the right to change how future financial rewards will be determined.
You get paid when a new Host you've been matched with completes their first qualifying reservation, under the Superhost Ambassador Terms. To be eligible, the reservation must have a total value of at least $50 USD or the local equivalent (before taxes and fees)—and must be completed no later than 365 days after you are matched with the new Host.
Note: This doesn’t mean that the nightly rate for the new listing has to be more than $50 USD, but it does mean that the total value of the reservation (including all nights) must be at least $50 USD.
Qualifying reservations must be legitimate bookings. Fake reservations, reservations made by family or friends, agreements to share referral awards or other kickback schemes all violate the rules of the program. The Host must also be new to hosting on the platform, which means that they’ve had no previously completed reservations on Airbnb across any of their listings.
Payouts typically happen about 14 days after the guest checks out from the qualifying reservation (but may be longer depending on verification requirements or circumstances beyond our control). For example, if a qualifying reservation’s checkout date is 10 January, the payment will typically be sent around 24 January.
