The Guest-First Trap: Why Airbnb is Losing Its Best Hosts
from The Check-In · host Leo Walton and Sarah Nan Dupre
Airbnb was built on partnership, but is that era over? This week, Sarah and Leo interview Steve Taggert of MyGetaways to dissect the platform’s aggressive pivot toward guest loyalty at the expense of host support. We explore the financial impact of commission changes and the growing trend of hosts being sidelined in their own properties. If you’re a host feeling the squeeze, this episode offers vital advice on navigating the new landscape and diversifying your bookings beyond the Airbnb algorithm.
