SafeGuest, the security-focused platform for short-term lets, has launched a game-changing feature that gives hosts immediate insight into the risk level of upcoming bookings — for free. The Guest Risk Assessment Tool is designed to prevent costly issues by flagging suspicious bookings before guests even arrive.
Powered by SafeGuest’s in-depth verification checks — including biometric ID scans, payment validation and behavioural tracking — the tool categorises bookings with a simple Green, Yellow or Red rating. This gives hosts clear and quick decision-making power at no extra cost.
“For too long, hosts have had to cross their fingers and hope for the best,” said Harry Birks, Founder of SafeGuest. “We’re changing that. Now, any host can know within seconds whether a booking looks safe — and we’ve made it completely free.”
The tool plugs directly into leading property management systems such as Guesty and Hostfully, allowing hosts to access the data inside their existing workflows. The risk ratings are based on verified insights gathered during SafeGuest’s trusted onboarding process — already used by thousands of hosts worldwide.
Helping Hosts Stay Ahead of Risk
SafeGuest’s expansion into risk scoring comes at a time when unauthorised events, property misuse and guest fraud remain widespread. With over 100,000 guest verifications completed across the UK, Europe, the US and the Middle East, the platform is already proving to be an essential tool in a host’s safety toolkit.
“We’ve had guests who looked fine on the surface, but SafeGuest flagged them as a high risk. It saved us a nightmare,” said Dee Prior, a Berkshire-based Airbnb superhost.
Alongside the free tool, hosts can choose from two types of guest protection: a refundable damage deposit, or a waiver that offers immediate cover for up to £250 in accidental damages — no claims or follow-ups needed.
Leading the Way in Short-Term Rental Safety
As host expectations evolve and regulations tighten globally, SafeGuest’s solutions are fast becoming a gold standard in guest screening. Hosts are increasingly prioritising trust and verification as key elements of short-let success.
“The future of short lets depends on trust — and trust starts with knowing who’s staying in your property,” added Birks. “We built SafeGuest to empower hosts, not charge them for peace of mind.”
