Five Borough Host ReviewSee our picks
Methodology

What a score here actually means.

One weighted number, built from months of real hosting.

We do not score demos, feature lists or press kits. We push it through the parts that break other tools: back-to-back turnovers and last-minute cancellations. Nothing about the score is negotiable, and nothing about it is for sale.

Nothing is scored from the outside. We run it on live listings through the messy parts — check-ins, cancellations, busy weekends — first.

The four things we score

  • Setup — 38%. How painless it is to connect your listings and get started.
  • Value — 27%. Cost weighed against the money it makes or protects.
  • Support — 20%. Speed and quality of help when a booking is on the line.
  • Guest experience — 15%. How the stay feels from booking to check-out — the part that earns your reviews.
The rubric is the same for everyone, and it is not for sale. No calendar time, no rating.
