Introducing Airbnb’s Latest Designation for Its Best and Worst Accommodations

Airbnb already has labels like “Guest favorites” and “Superhost” to indicate the quality of a property or the host. Now the company is adding a new label for the top 25% and top 1% properties on the listing page. Usually, Airbnb releases updates twice a year with so-called winter and summer releases. Airbnb said today that nearly 1.5 million properties would be verified by the end of this month in these five markets with a verification badge shown next to the listings. Airbnb said that it plans to add photo and video verification tools for hosts to verify their listings.
