Response rate shows how often a host answers the trip requests they receive. A host counts as responding when they approve, decline, or reach out by message, video call or a proposed change within 48 hours of being notified. A request that expires with no answer counts against the host. Requests you withdraw before the host acts are left out of their rate.

The rate covers the last 6 months, or the host's last 5 requests if that is more, and it appears on host profiles, on Home Details and when you request to stay. It only shows once a host has at least 5 requests.
