SafeGuest + Guesty: The Ultimate Protection Combo for Short Let Property Managers

Discover how SafeGuest.ai integrates seamlessly with Guesty to automate guest screening, risk scoring, and deposit collection — helping property managers protect their properties, save time, and prevent damage. Free for hosts.
In a fast-growing short-term rental market, guest safety isn't optional — it's the competitive edge.
You already use Guesty to centralise operations, automate tasks, and scale your property management business. But what about the guests themselves — the people stepping foot into your properties?
Can you confidently say they’ve been verified, screened for risk, and are financially liable for damage?
Most hosts can’t — and that’s exactly what SafeGuest.ai, now fully integrated with Guesty, is here to change.

What Is SafeGuest.ai?
SafeGuest.ai is the leading guest verification and damage protection tool designed specifically for Airbnb, Vrbo, and short let hosts and property managers.
It protects your properties before a single foot is through the door by:

• ✅ Running biometric ID and selfie checks
  
• ✅ Screening for guest risk behaviour
  
• ✅ Collecting security deposits or waivers automatically
  
• ✅ Flagging high-risk bookings directly in your PMS
  
• ✅ Giving you verified guest details (securely, and GDPR compliant)
  

Best of all?
It’s completely free for hosts. Only guests pay — either by placing a refundable deposit or paying a small waiver fee.


How SafeGuest.ai and Guesty Work Together
This isn’t just a bolt-on tool — SafeGuest.ai is now fully integrated with the Guesty ecosystem, making it effortless for managers to protect every booking.
👇 Here’s how it works:
1. Bookings Flow from Guesty to SafeGuest Automatically
Once connected, SafeGuest pulls all confirmed bookings from your Guesty account. You don’t need to manually upload anything — it’s automatic and continuous.
2. Guests Are Prompted to Verify Their Identity
Each guest receives a branded, secure link asking them to verify their identity. They’re guided to:

• Upload government-issued ID (passport or driver’s licence)
  
• Take a biometric selfie for live facial matching
  
• Provide up-to-date contact details
  

3. Deposit or Waiver Payment Is Collected
You choose your preference:

• Refundable Deposit (e.g. £250) — Stripe authorisation hold
  
• Non-Refundable Waiver (e.g. £29) — This funds SafeGuest and protects against minor damage
  

This all happens before check-in, giving you financial coverage.
4. Guest Risk Score Generated
SafeGuest’s algorithm scores each guest as:

• 🔴 Red (High Risk) — local booking, fake ID, suspicious behaviour
  
• 🟡 Yellow (Caution) — new account, minor inconsistencies
  
• 🟢 Green (Safe) — ID verified, no red flags
  

This score is sent back into Guesty, so your team sees it next to the guest’s name in the dashboard.
5. You Take Action – Or Let SafeGuest Do It For You
If a guest comes back with a red score, you can cancel, reach out, or request further info — it’s your call. Green and yellow guests go ahead as normal.

Why This Integration Is a Game-Changer for Property Managers
Let’s break it down:

It’s the difference between being reactive and being proactive — and that’s what serious operators choose.


Real-Life Impact: From Risk to Confidence
Case Study: London Property Manager Avoids £2,000 Party Damage
One Guesty-based operator managing 28 apartments in East London enabled SafeGuest.ai across their portfolio. Within two weeks, a Friday night booking flagged Red for:

• Local postcode
  
• Brand new Airbnb profile
  
• No matching ID
  
• Fake phone number
  

The guest was declined. They went on to book elsewhere — and that host was left with burnt carpets, a broken TV, and £2,000 in costs.
SafeGuest.ai paid for itself before check-in even happened.


Guest Experience? Still Excellent
You might wonder — won’t guests be put off?
The answer: no. SafeGuest’s flow is modelled after hotel check-ins. Most guests are happy to verify their ID — and it builds trust in your brand.
Plus, the messaging is clear and professional. Guests are told:

“This property uses SafeGuest.ai to ensure guest identity and protect the home. Just like a hotel check-in, we securely collect ID and a deposit or small waiver.”

In most cases, guests thank hosts for taking security seriously.


Your Brand, Your Settings
You remain in control:

• ✅ Customise waiver or deposit options
  
• ✅ Branded verification page with your logo
  
• ✅ See every verified guest in your dashboard
  
• ✅ Add it to as many listings as you like
  
• ✅ Enable/disable properties as needed
  

And if you want full hands-off support? SafeGuest’s team will handle onboarding, team training, and any support requests.

Safe, Secure, and GDPR-Compliant
SafeGuest.ai is built with compliance at its core:

• 🔐 All guest data is deleted 14 days after checkout
  
• 📂 No data shared with third parties
  
• 💳 Deposits handled via Stripe, not stored by SafeGuest
  
• 📜 Fully GDPR & CCPA compliant
  

Plus, if you need to pursue a claim or provide details to authorities, you’ll have the verified guest details securely logged.
