Airbnb uses more than 70 signals — including pricing, reviews, response time, and photo quality — to determine ranking. As a Superhost company, Open Air Homes understands this algorithm and optimizes every listing to perform better.
Airbnb Superhost Property Management
How to Identify the Right Property Manager
When hiring a property manager, start by checking their Airbnb profile. If they don’t have Superhost status, it should be an instant no. The badge isn’t just symbolic — it’s earned through consistency, guest satisfaction, and reliability over time.
Next, look for how long they’ve been managing homes and their average review score. If they’ve only been hosting for a short period, there’s a steep learning curve that impacts performance.
The higher their number of reviews combined with a large portfolio of homes, the better. Managing 5–10 homes with a high rating is achievable, but once a company expands, maintaining that quality becomes harder — and that’s where Open Air Homes stands apart.
By The Numbers: 2025
How We Stack Up Against the Market
Our listings draw almost three times the impressions—153% higher— than comparable homes during May ’24 → Apr ’25, according to data collected through Airbnb.
High-impact photography, A/B-tested headlines, and dynamic pricing tools keep us locked above the fold, reaching travelers before they even start filtering.
Airbnb shows our homes on page 1 of search results 55.7% of the time, weighted across 12 months from April 2024 – April 2025.
That means every other guest search in our price bands starts with an Open Air Homes listing—boosting inquiries and brand awareness for every owner in the portfolio.
Out of every 10,000 search impressions, we convert 18 bookings versus the market’s 11—a 60 % uplift on Airbnb.
This efficiency turns views into paid nights, raises annual revenue, and shields owners from slow seasons when every inquiry counts.
Guests stay 9.7 days with us; the market averages 4.8 days according to “similar listings” in Airbnb Insights. That’s 102% longer than the market average.
Longer stays cut turnover costs, boost review volume, and reduce neighborhood churn, creating a sustainable growth loop.
The Importance of Proven Experience
Consistency Across Every Home
At Open Air Homes on Airbnb, we’ve built one of the highest-rated profiles among medium-sized property management companies. Our team has managed hundreds of stays across California, maintaining both Superhost and Guest Favorite recognition through every season.
Our success comes from caring deeply about the guest experience — from the moment a home is onboarded to every stay that follows. This level of care creates better reviews, higher occupancy, and stronger Airbnb visibility.
Our Consistent Superhost Track Record
Earning and Keeping Superhost Status
Superhost isn’t permanent — it’s reviewed every quarter. To maintain this standard, we never cancel confirmed bookings, respond to guests within minutes, and go above and beyond with hospitality.
Our consistent Superhost history on Airbnb builds trust with guests and the platform itself. Airbnb rewards that reliability with stronger placement in search results, helping our homeowners earn more.
How Airbnb’s Algorithm Rewards Quality
Understanding Airbnb’s 70+ Performance Signals
Airbnb evaluates more than 70 key signals when deciding how to rank homes — similar to Google’s algorithm. These include accurate pricing, professional photography, 5-star reviews, Superhost status, and wishlist saves.
Our team continually analyzes these metrics, ensuring every home is optimized to perform well on Airbnb. Many of our listings have earned the prestigious Guest Favorite badge — given to the top-performing properties across the platform.
Our Dedicated Airbnb Partnership
Support and Insights from Inside the Platform
Open Air Homes is proud to have a dedicated representative at Airbnb, a partnership reserved for top-performing property managers. This gives us access to platform updates, listing insights, and data-driven guidance that improve results for our homeowners.
This relationship helps us maintain consistency, resolve issues quickly, and stay aligned with Airbnb’s evolving best practices. It’s one more way we set ourselves apart in a crowded market.
Balancing Airbnb with Direct Booking Growth
Diversification That Protects Homeowners
About 50% of our bookings come through Airbnb, but we also invest heavily in growing our Direct Bookings channel. This ensures stability even if a listing is ever paused or restricted.
By combining Airbnb’s global reach with our own booking platform, we create the best of both worlds — visibility, reliability, and independence for our homeowners.
