The "Airbnb Ranking" Strategy

Airbnb updates its algorithms and Terms of Service (TOS) multiple times a year, often without a major announcement. To stay a Superhost in 2025, you need to know more than just how to clean a house—you need to know the rules.

Key 2025 Updates to Watch:

1. The "Relevancy" Filter: Airbnb is now using AI to hide reviews that it deems "unhelpful" or "irrelevant" to future guests.

2. Host Reliability Standards: The threshold for cancellations has become stricter. We explain what "Extenuating Circumstances" actually count in 2025.

3. Automatic Review Removal: Airbnb is testing a system that automatically flags reviews containing specific "prohibited language" (like profanity or personal slurs).

4. Enhanced Dispute Windows: You now have a more specific timeframe to challenge a retaliatory review before it becomes "permanent."
