German-language YouTube video by Tim Hubbard explaining Airbnb's "Gästefavorit" (Guest Favorite) badge: what it is, how it differs from Superhost, the eligibility criteria, how it affects search visibility and earnings, and practical actions hosts can take. Key points: the badge is object-specific (based on a listing), requires at least 5 reviews in the last 2 years with an average rating of 4.9, low cancellation rate (≤1%), strong subcategory ratings (cleanliness, check-in, communication) relative to local competition, and can yield extra visibility (filters, trophies for top 5–10%). The video also gives operational tips (lower minimum nights, thorough guest screening) and mentions Coworsly/Stries.com services.
