A few years ago AirBnB launched a new tool that allows hosts and guests to check their wifi speed at the property. The results of these speeds will show on your profile to potential guests and will count in their decision to book or not. As wifi speeds have become one of the most searched for amenity on the site, AirBnB made it easy for potential guests to find out.
If your speed test reads 0mbps, your property will be listed as having no wifi. If you have 1-6Mbps wifi speed, your property will be listed as having slow speeds. 7-24Mbps will get you a listing in the solid wifi suitable for streaming movies. 25-49Mbps will get you a snappy rating. Finally, 50Mbps+ will get you a Wow! top wifi rating.
Complaints of wifi are rampant on the reviews as noted below…
