How much of a premium are you willing to pay for this verification? Secondly, it is going to be even more annoying when you expect it to be verified and your WIFI and small things are still missing or non-functional.

Thanks for posting something that actually makes sense today. Win - additional revenue stream for Airbnb Win - guests find quality hosting Win - good hosts increase occupancy

Yes, but they also did not use Marriott Plus for obvious reasons. Marriott can fully control their brand segmentation, Airbnb cannot. As it stands there are plenty of standard Airbnb listings hitting far above the Airbnb Plus segmentation.

Seems they may have missed the mark here. I would not classify hotel-like quality as the premium segment. Many of the standard Airbnb's I've stayed at beat hotel-like quality in every way.

This often only happens in Cities where Airbnb is either illegal or is fighting with local cities.

Except that most standard listings are a step up on plus. Which just goes to show how bad they messed up here. In some ways it has an Apple feel to it, charge more for less.

I already do this and this is standard with the local airbnb hosts I know. I get that this obviously does not happen across the board but I can assure you anyone serious is already doing this. In some cases I even pickup guests.

Agreed and as an Airbnb host myself, slightly confused. To add to what you said, why book and pay a premium for an Airbnb+ when there are thousands of standard listings that already crush plus listings. As it stands, I have hosted 273 stays
