Quarterly assessments  

We review Premier Host accounts every quarter. This ensures that we feature hosts who continually provide exceptional guest experiences. Quarterly assessments take place on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1.

We review performance for the past 365 days and remove accounts that no longer qualify. You’re automatically added back into the program as soon as your account meets the eligibility criteria.
