“HostGuard flagged a booking that matched several high-risk patterns — we asked a few extra questions and avoided a party that would have trashed the place.”

— Airbnb Superhost, Gold Coast, QLD

How it works

Three simple steps from booking details to a confident decision.

01

Assess a booking

Enter the booking details — stay length, group size, lead time and property. Guest initials only, never names.

02

Review the risk analysis

Get a deterministic 0–100 risk score with themed sub-scores and a cautious AI summary of the warning signals.

03

Book with confidence

Accept bookings knowing you’ve added a professional, compliant layer of protection — with an evidence report if you need it.

Why HostGuard Is Different

Airbnb displays booking information. HostGuard analyses risk indicators, behavioural patterns and dispute-related signals to help hosts identify potential issues before they become costly problems.

HostGuard was designed specifically for short-term rental hosting and combines booking intelligence, property exposure analysis and dispute-prevention insights into a single assessment.
