In addition to written reviews, star ratings are a quick way for guests to give you feedback. Guests can rate a stay or Experience in categories from 1 to 5 stars.

Star rating categories

Guests will rate their stays in the following categories—so bear these in mind when preparing for your next guest:

• Overall experience: How was it?
• Cleanliness: Did the place meet our standards?
• Accuracy: Was it accurately represented with up-to-date photos and info?
• Check-in: Was it easy?
• Communication: Did the Host respond to messages promptly?
• Location: Was the guest made aware of safety, transportation, points of interest, and special considerations like noise or other situations that might affect their stay?
• Value: Was it worth the price?
• Amenities: Was everything promised in the listing available and in good, working condition?

Note that Overall experience is a specific category where guests add a rating, not an average of the other categories.

Positive feedback for a rating

If a guest selects a positive rating (4 or 5), they will have the option to select what stood out to them. For example, if the guest selects 5 stars for Check-in, they will have the option to select things they liked, such as “Easy to find” or “Personal welcome.”

Negative feedback for a rating

If a guest selects a 3 star or less for a category, they’ll be presented with a different set of options to note what happened. Using Check-in as an example, they would have options such as “Hard to locate” or “ Unclear instructions.” If choosing 3-stars or less, a guest must select from these options to move forward.
