This could also be played the other way around if the customers are completely churned. (ie: airbnb will lose a full unit with XX bookings but can also loose XX customers multiplied by XX Life Time Value).

The duty cycle (number of business days per year) is less than 1% for typical guests but around 100% for a sizeable chuck of hosts, and in the 20-80% range for a lot of the rest.

Hence I expect the host LTV to be a couple of orders of magnitude greater to that of guests.
