People keen on listing their place have the option to get help from designated Superhosts. Airbnb also says that it got some inspiration from the Genius Bar at Apple Stores, where experienced tech-support employees, called Geniuses, have a friendly chat with Apple customers while trying to fix their wares. The former Ask a Superthost program, now rebranded into “ one-to-one guidance from a Superhost”, is one part of what Airbnb calls its “ people-powered programs.” The idea is to inject human support when tools and support pages can only do so much. What happened to Airbnb’s Ask a Superhost? It is now Airbnb Superhost Guidance “The best way to help you do something new is with the help of someone who’s done it before”, says Airbnb to explain why Airbnb Setup connects brand new hosts to experienced ones. They’re currently available in 42 languages.Īirbnb Setup exemplifies the company’s genius at leveraging the entrepreneurial sense of its Superhost community With just one tap, new Hosts can reach our specially-trained Community Support agents for help with anything from account issues to getting paid. Here, it is more about Airbnb proving access to support agents who are trained to making the platform accessible to newbies. Unlike with Superhosts, there is no response time guarantee. New hosts are now getting their own support team.It’s been like this for a few years, even if the Supethost support line was discontinued during the pandemic where Airbnb laid off a lot of employees and contractors.
