Premier Host Policy
Premier Host is a free, invite-only program that recognises owners and managers who consistently deliver great traveller experiences at the individual listing level. As soon as a listing meets the eligibility criteria, it’s automatically added to the program.
Eligibility
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
To achieve Premier Host status, a listing must meet the following requirements. These are measured over the past 365 days each quarter.

- A booking acceptance rate of 99% or higher
- A host-initiated cancellation rate of 0%
- Have 5 or more Bookabach reviews
- Have at least 5 bookings or 60 booked nights
Premier Host benefits
The benefits of being a Premier Host apply to each listing in your account that qualifies for Premier Host status. Premier Host status includes the following benefits:
- Premier Host badge
- Premier Host filter
- Automatic increase in search position
- Priority phone support
Hosts: Track your progress
The Premier Host scorecard, located on the Performance page in your dashboard, tracks your progress towards achieving Premier Host status at the listing level. You can also download a report from the scorecard to learn more about your overall performance. Use the report’s filter and sort options to identify areas for improvement.
Quarterly assessments
We review Premier Host listings every quarter. This ensures that we feature listings that continually provide exceptional guest experiences. Quarterly assessments take place on February 1, May 1, 1 August, and November 1.
We review performance for the past 365 days and remove listings that no longer qualify. Hosts are automatically added back into the program as soon as the listing meets the eligibility criteria again.
