SafeGuest, a leading platform for host protection in the short-term rental market, has launched a new risk scoring tool to help users instantly identify high-risk guests — all at no cost.

The Guest Risk Assessment Tool evaluates each booking using advanced verification checks, behavioural cues, and predictive analytics. Guests are then categorised as Green, Yellow, or Red, giving hosts a fast and reliable indicator of potential issues before arrival.

“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.”

Designed to work hand-in-hand with trusted PMS tools like Hostfully and Guesty, the system allows for direct integration, meaning hosts can stay within their usual workflow while benefiting from deeper booking insight. Risk scores are derived from SafeGuest’s comprehensive vetting process, which includes biometric verification and behaviour analysis.

Built-In Safety That’s Already Working

In an industry where costly incidents can still occur despite best efforts, SafeGuest’s new feature takes a proactive stance. The company has already performed over 100,000 verifications across global markets, protecting hosts from avoidable risks and offering early warning on suspicious activity.

“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 this, hosts can opt for either a fully refundable deposit or a non-refundable waiver, which provides immediate cover for up to £250 in accidental guest damages — no messy claims required.

Shaping the Future of Short-Term Letting

With guest screening becoming essential amid growing regulation and rising guest expectations, SafeGuest’s latest tool is poised to become a vital part of the modern hosting toolkit.

“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.”
