How to Enable Free Guest Verification in Guesty Using SafeGuest (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you're a Guesty host or property manager, you already know how important it is to screen guests, reduce risk, and protect your properties. But doing it manually takes time—and relying on guests to send photos or IDs can easily create friction. This is where SafeGuest comes in.
SafeGuest is now fully connected with Guesty, allowing you to activate guest verification, background checks, risk scoring, and deposit/waiver options in just a few minutes. It’s completely free for hosts, easy to set up, and works automatically on every booking.

• SafeGuest performs a risk assessment (Red / Yellow / Green)
  
• A deposit or waiver is taken automatically
  
• The result appears directly inside Guesty, under the guest’s profile
  
• You stay fully protected without lifting a finger
