The Premier Host programme was created to recognise extraordinary holiday home owners and property managers like you, by providing exclusive benefits and helping your listings stand out from the competition.

Outstanding advantages for outstanding hosts

Increased visibility

All listings in your portfolio will enjoy improved search position, reaching a higher number of travellers.

Premier Host badging

A special badge will appear on every property listing in your portfolio—this lets guests know you’re an exceptional host.

Filtered search

You’ll be included in the Premier Host filter for guest searches, increasing your visibility and reaching top-tier travellers.

Priority support

You’ll enjoy routing-based priority support with 24/7 access,** so you have time to focus on what really matters: your guests.

‘The Premier Host programme has given us a significant advantage over the competition. In our market, there are a lot of properties, so having that extra edge to stand out in a saturated market is hugely impactful.’

Frequently asked questions

All partners are eligible: hosts and property managers, partners who list hundreds of properties and partners who list just one. As soon as you meet the requirements across all your listings, you’re in!

To qualify as a Premier Host, you must maintain a great overall rating, a high acceptance rate, a low partner-initiated cancellation rate, consistent bookings across your account and positive guest reviews across all listings in your account.

You can view your Premier Host status and track your performance toward the criteria in your scorecard. You can also download a report to see metrics for each reservation to help you identify where to focus to achieve Premier Host status.

Every three months we review Premier Hosts’ account performance over the past 365 days to confirm they still meet the criteria. Eligibility is revisited quarterly, with assessments on 1 February, 1 May, 1 August and 1 November.

As soon as you meet all the criteria, your properties will display a Premier Host badge in search and on your listing, and you can start enjoying all the benefits that come with Premier Host status.

Partners who don’t meet the criteria will be removed from the programme—but can re-qualify as soon as they meet them again. View the Premier Host terms and conditions here.
