What are Wonderful Houfy Hosts?
Wonderful Houfy Hosts are verified and highly esteemed members of our community. This badge is awarded to top-rated and experienced hosts who embody excellence in hospitality. It’s more than just a title—it’s a reflection of trust, reliability, and a dedication to creating memorable stays.
Key benefits of becoming a Wonderful Houfy Host:
What the badge does today:
A badge on your listing and profile pages, so guests browsing your listing can see you are a recognised Houfy host.
More perks are on the way. We are building out a rewards programme for Wonderful Hosts - featured placement to guests and priority support are planned but not live yet, and we will update this page when they are.
Does the Wonderful Houfy Host status carry across platforms?
No, Wonderful Houfy Host status is exclusive to Houfy. While platforms like Airbnb have their own recognition systems, such as Superhost, their criteria differ significantly. Being an Airbnb Superhost does not automatically qualify someone as a Wonderful Houfy Host, as Houfy’s standards are tailored to reflect what it means to truly excel within our platform and community.
How do I become a Wonderful Houfy Host?
There are four requirements, and you need all four:
Guest rating - 4.8 or higher out of 5.
Response rate - reply to at least 90% of inquiries.
Confirmed stays - at least 10 completed bookings on Houfy.
Cancellation rate - keep cancellations under 1% of your bookings.
There is no application form and nothing to send us. Meet all four and the badge is applied for you.
You can see exactly where you stand on your own scorecard. It shows each of the four requirements, whether you have met it, and how far you are from the ones you have not - for example how many more confirmed bookings you need.
