Verification you can actually see

Most homestay sites say their hosts are checked. We show you what the checks were. Every listing carries one of three badges, and the badge means the same thing every time.

Tier 1

ID Verified

Photo ID, proof of address, property photos and a signed declaration, all checked by our team before any listing goes live.

Tier 2

Video Assessed

Everything in ID Verified, plus a live video walkthrough of the home and an interview with the host.

Tier 3

Home Visited

Everything in Video Assessed, plus an in-person visit by one of our assessors.

How verification works →

How booking works

  1. 1

    Browse and enquire

    Pick a host you like, or tell us what you need and we'll suggest options. Guests are adults (18+).

  2. 2

    We confirm your match

    A real person checks availability with the host and confirms the details before you pay anything.

  3. 3

    Pay with protection

    Pay securely by card. The host isn't paid until 48 hours after you check in, so there's recourse if something isn't right.
