Here at Couchfindr, we prioritise the safety and well-being of both hosts and guests throughout every interaction. Understanding the importance of trust when welcoming strangers into your home, and vice versa, we have implemented a comprehensive verification process. This process ensures a secure environment for all transactions on Couchfindr.
Identity Verification
To qualify for a verified profile on Couchfindr, both hosts and guests must submit the following for verification:
Government ID
Both hosts and guests must submit a government-issued ID such as a driver’s license or passport.
Biometrics
Guests and hosts must submit a biometric photo selfie along with a government ID to strengthen trust and accountability.
Payment Verification
Guests and hosts are required to submit a certified account statement related to the payment method used.
Social Media & Web Links
When guests visit a host’s home, and vice versa, trust and accountability can be enhanced by putting a face to the name. We recommend adding your social profiles and website to foster greater transparency and connection.
Social Profiles
Who are you? We strongly recommend adding your social media profile links. Doing so provides trust and accountability.
Professional Links
Adding professional profile links such as LinkedIn or trade sites enhance credibility, visibility, fostering trust and transparency.
Video Call
We also recommend that both hosts and guests communicate via video call before booking a stay if they are unsure.
Gender Safety Issues!
Yes we know, it’s a contentious subject that bodes well for flared tempers and tantrums. Rest assured here at Couchfindr, our gender comprehensive listing and search criteria enables both guests and hosts to select the gender preference and biological sex preference of their short-stay counter part.
