And when trust and safety is at the forefront of our minds, we need to have a solution to guest screening. In this episode, Leo Walton from Superhog talks about the need to balance guest-centric communication with efficient screening procedures. The conversation also delves into the role of guest screening in damage prevention, identifying fraud, and combating fraudulent chargebacks. This epis

The wildlife that turned up to throw a perfectly good vacation into a tailspin; and the increasingly demanding and easily offended guests. Like many owners and property managers in this business we invariably finished our trip down the season’s memory lane with the vow to write a book. We haven’t done t
