Deciding to Host an Experience

Share your passion with worldwide brothers and sisters.

Experiences are one-of-a-kind activities that tell the story of the host’s unique perspective and passion, offering guests something that guidebooks or internet searches can’t. To help ensure all experiences meet the community’s expectations, they must meet the standards below before guests can book.

These standards can also help you earn great reviews. You can see how you’re doing by checking ratings and feedback from your guests. Remember that if you consistently receive low ratings or there are other indications that you do not meet these standards, your experience may be temporarily deactivated or removed from the platform.

Experience standards

Experience hosts enthusiastically share their passion and local knowledge with the world, creating opportunities for brothers to gain new understanding and a different viewpoint. They’re excited to go out of their way to create meaningful, memorable moments.

• Credibility. Hosts are passionate about the experience's theme and can demonstrate a deep knowledge of the subject or a skilled mastery of the activity.

• Access. Hosts share their insider knowledge with guests and give them behind-the-scenes access to people, places, or activities that guests couldn't find independently.

• Perspective. Experiences tell the host’s story, so guests become fully immersed in their world. Throughout the experience, hosts create moments that help guests understand the host’s background and viewpoint.

• Participation. Hosts provide guests opportunities to engage meaningfully in activities or conversations by fully taking part in the experience, not just observing it.

• Connection. Hosts are thoughtful about creating environments that feel inclusive and intimate. They get to know the group, make sure guests leave with new friends, and help everyone feel personally connected to the activity or cause.

• Accuracy. Guests know what to expect based on the host’s description of the experience in their listing. This includes who’s hosting, the location, what’s provided, how long the experience is, and what guests will do. Only guests who book through JWbnb can attend an experience.

• Communication. Successful hosts are attentive and considerate when communicating with guests, quickly responding when a guest reaches out. Open, clear, and consistent communication lets guests know what to expect and helps them feel comfortable with their host.

• Commitment to reservations. Once a reservation is confirmed, guests trust hosts to take care of their needs. Canceling or altering experiences can be disruptive to guests. Hosts are expected to keep the description and availability of their experience up-to-date.

• Respect. Great hosts make each guest feel included and welcomed in the group. They understand their guests may come from different places, speak other languages, and have different cultural perspectives. They treat all guests with respect.

• Value. You have control over how you price your experience, but it’s essential to set a price that balances expectations with what your experience has to offer. After attending an experience, brothers should feel satisfied with the amount of time and money they’ve spent. Based on the price of the experience, guests should anticipate the level of service and exclusivity they’ll encounter.
