Airbnb will launch a program for superhosts, performance-tracking tools, and calendar improvements in 2014

Airbnb today revealed its plans to focus more on hosts for the rest of 2014. Following the service’s redesign last month, the company now wants to bring new features just for hosts in the coming months.

Airbnb plans to launch a program that recognizes superhosts, a follow-up to the program preview last year celebrating distinguished hosts. In response to feedback about tracking performance, hosts will also be getting new tools to better understand their performance and get hospitality recommendations.

Lastly, the company is planning improvements to the calendar: the way hosts update their listings and pricing will be simplified. Overall, details are scarce, but Airbnb says it wants to share its roadmap “to be more consistent in our communication about new features and programs.”
