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?
