The key difference between an Airbnb Superhost and a Guest Favorite listing lies in their criteria and recognition

Superhost:

This is a status awarded to the host, not the listing.

Superhost status is based on metrics such as a high response rate, consistent 5-star reviews, no cancellations, and hosting experience (hosting at least 10 stays in the past year).

It reflects the host's overall reliability, professionalism, and hospitality.

Guest Favorite:

This recognition is tied to a specific listing rather than the host.

A listing becomes a "Guest Favorite" if it consistently receives positive feedback from guests, often for factors like cleanliness, comfort, location, or unique features.

It highlights a property that guests have specifically enjoyed, even if the host isn't necessarily a Superhost.

In summary, Superhost status is about the host's performance and hosting behavior, while Guest Favorite focuses on the quality and appeal of a particular property.
