Will yet you know , appreciate the help.
Thanks
I just got another verification that 4.725 is the magic number so youāre not too far off. When I wrote this tool I needed 60 5-star reviews and my listing just switched from 4.5 stars to 5 stars. I was able to get almost 100% 5-star reviews by using superhosttools.com
and automating my messages and reviews.
Do you happen to know the magic rounding number from 4.7 to 4.8 to qualify for Superhost? Iāve been a superhost for years but recently got two, 2 star reviews for things out of my control. Iām hoping I donāt lose status July 1st and trying to figure out how many people I need to get in to review me between now and then.
My understanding, and happy to be corrected, is 10 5 stars to balance one missing star.
I think itās 16.
Hereās the math. For every 1 missing star you need 4, 5 star reviews. In other words, if you get a 3 star review, thatās 2 missing stars so you need 8, 5 star reviews.
There is one thing I havenāt tested, i think, if your listing has 5 stars, I think you need to fall below 4.5 before your reviews show as 4.5.
I have 846 reviews and was interested to see if there is a correlation between higher prices and lower reviews. Put differently, if a guest pays a low price, is he or she likely to be more forgiving, or if a guest pays a high price, is he or she likely to be more demanding?
Indeed, I found that my reviews with five stars have an average nightly price of $50, and those with four stars (or fewer) have an average of $53.
Anyways, tangential to SuperHostTools, I downloaded my reviews using a screen scraper that I wrote using webscraper.io. The raw data are a bit messy, but with thirty minutes of work in Excel I was able to make the required pivot tables.
My average price has gone up over the last two months from about $42 a night to $46 a night and my reviews have not gone down. Surely there are other variables like time of year when the data is collected. I would think during season travel would result in more āentitledā guest behavior than the intrepid off season guest or non-discretionary traveler, as one possible example.
Iām currently at 4.763 and itās still showing I donāt qualify for the ānewā superhost. I gave each star a point then divided by the total number of reviews in the last year so I have 462 points and 97 reviews. Even if I book the last two nights of the month I have open and outstanding reviews give me five stars I donāt see a way to rise higher than 4.77 so Iām wondering if they will round. One room has 297 points and 63 reviews and is still showing as 4.5 stars on my listing page.
