WASP-88 is a F-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 6450{{±|61}} K. WASP-88 is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.03{{±|0.04}}, and is younger at an age of 3.0{{±|1.3}} billion years.
A multiplicity survey did detect a candidate red dwarf companion to WASP-88 in 2020, with a 1.65% probability of it being an unrelated background star.{{citation|arxiv=2001.08224|year=2020|title=A multiplicity study of transiting exoplanet host stars.

Planetary system
In 2013, one planet, named WASP-88b, was discovered on a tight, circular orbit.{{citation|arxiv=1312.1827|title=Transiting planets from WASP-South, Euler and TRAPPIST:WASP-68 b, WASP-73 b and WASP-88 b, three hot Jupiters transiting evolved solar-type stars|year=2013|doi=10.1051/0004-6361/201323204|last1=Delrez|first1=L.|last2=Van Grootel|first2=V.|last3=Anderson|first3=D.
