Memphis Airbnb Ratings by Bedroom Count: Why One-Bedrooms Trail
We split 1,763 active Memphis Airbnb listings by bedroom count. 16% of one-bedrooms sit below 4.5 stars, against 6% to 8% for two to four. Counts and caveats.
One-bedroom listings in Memphis sit below 4.5 stars at more than twice the rate of two-, three- and four-bedroom listings. We counted every Memphis Airbnb listing that was active in the last 30 days, shows a rating and has at least one review, then split them by bedroom count.
What we counted
The panel holds 1,763 Memphis listings active within 30 days of 2026-11-09 that show an overall rating and at least one review. Forty-seven have no bedroom count on the listing and one is a studio-style zero, so those 48 are left out of the table. Five-plus bedroom listings are grouped because each size on its own is too small to read.
| Bedrooms | Listings | Superhost | Below 4.5 stars |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 628 | 317 (50%) | 99 (16%) |
| 2 | 385 | 212 (55%) | 25 (6%) |
| 3 | 396 | 218 (55%) | 27 (7%) |
| 4 | 214 | 108 (50%) | 17 (8%) |
| 5 or more | 92 | 46 (50%) | 11 (12%) |
One-bedrooms are the largest group in the city, 36% of the panel, and they carry 99 of the 179 listings below 4.5 stars in the table, or 55%.
What this does not say
This is a snapshot of different listings, not the same listings over time. It does not show that a one-bedroom will rate lower, or why. Delisted listings are absent, so the panel only sees units that survived. Superhost share is nearly the same across sizes, so the gap is not a status effect. We have not split by review count here, and newer listings tend to have fewer reviews, so part of the gap may be listing age. We did not compute a blended average rating, because the mix of sizes changes the average without any listing changing.
What owners can take from it
- A one-bedroom competes against the biggest pool of listings, so a weak guest experience shows up in the rating sooner.
- Compare a one-bedroom to other one-bedrooms, not to the city as a whole.
- See how photo count lines up with ratings in our photo count study.
- Check the rules before you list in the Memphis short-term rental permit guide.
- For market context, see Memphis vacation rentals.
