Cleanliness

1. Before taking pictures of your place, you need to make your place super clean. Your place needs to be as clean as a hotel room.  People are expecting your place to be spotless.

1. Guestnest is founded on trust and reputation. Profiles are set up to ensure that people are who they say they are, and a robust rating and review system is in place to help everyone maintain focus on others.

2. Verifications are the cornerstone of trust.  This is key. Fill out all of your verifications to give yourself the best chance for success. This is how you establish your quality score as a guest and host so it’s important to take time upfront to give the community as much info as possible.

Getting paid.  “Payments are secured by Guestnest to keep you focused on service”

1. Guestnest handles all payments to keep everything secure & fair. Once a guest submits a booking request and the hosts approves (hosts are given a right to refuse anyone for any reason), the Guest's account is charged, and monies are held in escrow until move-in.

2. The service holds onto it until 24 hours after the guest has checked in, when it then passes it onto the host via bank transfer.

Hospitality: “I treat others how I would want to be treated”

1. When you go above and beyond, you are rewarded with return customers.  A welcome basket or care package with pop-corn, wine bottle, or some other personal touch sets the relationship on the right course.  Respond to your guests needs quickly.
