Trust & Safety

Booking should feel as safe as staying with a friend.

Every Space Share booking is backed by verified IDs on both sides, secure escrowed payments, and real human support — in your community, around the clock.

How we keep you safe

Five pillars on every booking.

Verified hosts

Government ID + selfie verification, address confirmation, and bank account matched to legal name. Continuous fraud monitoring across messages, listings, and bookings.

Secure, escrowed payments

Every booking is paid through Space Share and held in escrow until 24 hours after check-in. PCI-compliant processing, no off-platform payments, two-factor on every account.

24/7 human support

Real humans, around the clock. Active-booking urgent line responds within 5 minutes.

Community standards

No discrimination, no parties without host approval, accurate listings, no hidden surveillance. Repeat violations end the listing — no warnings.

Smart safety tools

In-app messaging, location revealed only after booking confirmation, anonymous reporting, verified reviews from real guests.

For guests

Stay safer on every trip.

  • Always book and message inside Space Share — never pay off-platform
  • Read recent reviews and the host's response history
  • Save the host's emergency line; for life-threatening emergencies call your local emergency number
  • Use Trip mode to share your itinerary with someone you trust
  • Report anything off — listing, message, or stay — anonymously, anytime

For hosts

Protect your space and your guests.

  • Verify your ID, your address, and your payout account
  • Be precise: capacity, photos, amenities, and house rules must match
  • Use Space Share messaging — it's the only way Trust & Safety can help if something goes wrong
  • Disclose any cameras (exterior only — never indoors)
  • Check in with neighbours about quiet hours, parking, and trash
