SafeGuest, the short-let safety platform trusted by property managers and hosts alike, has launched a brand-new Guest Risk Assessment Tool — a free service designed to alert users to potential red flags before guests even arrive.
Combining behavioural profiling, verified ID checks, and proprietary analytics, the tool assigns a traffic-light risk rating (Green, Yellow or Red), giving hosts immediate insight into whether a booking is likely to be safe — and doing so at no 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.”
Seamlessly integrated into major property management platforms such as Hostfully and Guesty, the tool fits into a host’s workflow with ease. The scoring is based on SafeGuest’s extensive guest checks, including identity authentication, stay history, payment verification, and behavioural cues.
A Smarter Way to Prevent Problems
In a sector where unauthorised parties, damage, and fraud still present major risks, SafeGuest’s preventative model is proving timely. The platform has already completed more than 100,000 verifications across key global markets including the UK, Europe, North America, and the Middle East — helping thousands of hosts reduce incidents and avoid claims.
“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 guest scoring, SafeGuest offers protection through a choice of refundable deposits or a non-refundable waiver, which gives immediate cover of up to £250 for accidental damages — with no friction or follow-up required.
Driving Higher Standards Across the Industry
As cities continue to tighten regulation around short-term lets, SafeGuest’s risk-led, host-first approach is becoming increasingly relevant. The platform aims to standardise guest safety and verification as essential steps in the hosting process.
“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.”
