TIPS FOR USING

AIRBNB:

Why is Screening

Important?

You’re welcoming a stranger

into your home. With the web

as your only source – you

need a structured way to

make these strangers…less

strange.

Step 1: List Pertinent

Criteria

You first need to settle on the golden ratio of ideal

Airbnb guest qualities.

Create an equation whose sum will lead you to a

guest whom you both trust and are happy to host.

Step 2: Relax, We Can Take

Over

Tell us the criteria you’ve highlighted, &

Guesty can screen your prospects

accordingly.

We can confirm decisions with you or

finalize bookings on your behalf,

whichever you prefer.

Step 3: Look For A Full

Profile

A full profile is generally a sign

of guests who respect the

Airbnb process & take it

seriously.

Step 4: Airbnb ID Verification

Badges

This will give you that extra

confirmation that your guest is,

in fact, not made out of cups.

Step 5: Check Your Mutual

Friends

Thanks to the new social

connections feature, you can

scan guest reviews made within

your circles.

Step 6: Read The Reviews

Reviews are only there to make

Airbnb-ers more transparent –

so use them to do just that.

Step 7: Does Your Guest

Come Recommended?

References, anyone?
