Celebrating Our Homes that Made the Cut as Airbnb “Guest Favorites”

We’re thrilled to announce that several Open Air Homes properties have been spotlighted in Airbnb’s newly launched “Guest Favorites” category, a collection of the top 2 million homes on the platform, loved and lauded by guests worldwide. This recognition speaks volumes about the exceptional experiences our properties offer and the tireless dedication of our hosts.

Los Angeles Stars

Hillside Hideaway – A hidden gem with 9 glowing reviews, boasting a perfect 5.0-star average.

Westminster: A crowd favorite, winning hearts with 32 reviews and maintaining a flawless 5.0-star average.

Sunsplash: Radiating charm with 12 reviews and a 4.92-star average.

Desert Falls: Captivating guests, as evident in 14 reviews, scoring an impressive 4.93-star average.

Airbnb’s “Guest Favorites”: A Badge of Honor

Airbnb’s “Guest Favorites” feature makes it easy for travelers to identify top-rated homes. These properties aren’t just accommodations; they’re experiences, backed by ratings above 4.9 stars, exceptional reviews, reliable service, and outstanding hosting.

Enhanced Guest and Host Experiences

Airbnb has revamped the ratings and review system for a more intuitive and informative approach. Guests can now quickly gauge a home’s quality through a breakdown of 1 to 5-star reviews, sort reviews by recency and rating, and find reviews more relevant to their trip type or length of stay.

Our Commitment To Excellence at Open Air Homes

At Open Air Homes, we’re dedicated to ensuring that all our properties meet and exceed the standards set by Airbnb’s “Guest Favorites.” 

Airbnb’s general guidelines for this program was to include any home with over 4.9 stars, consistently happy guests, and that rents regularly.  A significant portion of the rest of our portfolio of homes are above 4.9 stars, but weren’t yet included as a “Guest favorite.”  We imagine that Airbnb will continue to review homes, and more of ours will be added over time.  

With a 4.91 star average over 10 years of business, Open Air Homes is definitely a guest favorite! 

We’re proud of our homes that have achieved this honor and are motivated to continue offering unparalleled experiences to our guests. Congratulations to our homeowners and teams for this remarkable achievement!
