Guest screening and safe bookings for your vacation rental
Most guests are fine, but a single wrong booking can cause a lot of damage and stress. With light screening and clear rules you reduce the risk without making good guests feel rejected.

Signals and rules
Watch for signals such as a local booking for a large group around a holiday, or a new account without reviews for a single night. Set clear house rules: no parties, a maximum number of guests and quiet hours. Communicate this kindly but clearly before arrival.
A reasonable deposit discourages misuse without bothering good guests.
Technology that helps
Mandatory guest registration via SES Hospedajes means you know who actually stays. Unique access codes per booking and a doorbell camera at the entrance add control. A noise sensor (without recording) can warn of disturbance.
Respond quickly to alerts; early action prevents escalation.
