How it works
Five simple steps.
Answer simple questions about your place
Set aside about an hour, in plain language — and save your progress and come back anytime. You only fill it out once; after that, it’s just a quick review and the occasional update as your place changes.
Preview your StayHub™
See exactly what guests will see — free, for as long as you like.
Publish
Your permanent guest link and QR code go live. This is the membership step — $149.99 a year.
Submit for review
We review your Trusted Stay™ Profile against published requirements — never the property itself.
Earn your Trusted Stay™ Badge
Awarded on approval and shown right on your StayHub for every arriving guest.
Publishing your StayHub™ and earning the Trusted Stay™ Badge are separate. Your membership unlocks publishing; the Badge comes only from review and approval — never from payment.
Who unlocks what
Three doors. You hold two keys — the third is earned.
Free — forever

No payment unlocks this door — only approval does.
After you publish
Step five isn’t the finish line. It’s opening day.
Updates are instant
Change an answer once and every guide updates everywhere — same link, same QR code, forever. Reprint nothing.
Life happens? Post it
Property Notices put the construction project or the plumber’s Tuesday visit in front of guests before they’re surprised by it.
Once a year, reconfirm
A yearly reconfirmation keeps your information current and your Badge active — guests can see the date it was last confirmed. And each year, you decide whether to renew.
Good to know before you start
A few straight answers.
- No credit card to start — build and preview completely free.
- We never ask for door codes, gate codes, or passwords — those stay between you and your guests, delivered privately.
- Works alongside Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct bookings — nothing about your listings changes.
- Guests never download an app or create an account — they scan or tap, and they’re in.
- Plain-language questions, written for hosts — if you can describe your place to a friend, you can build this.
- If review finds something to fix, we tell you exactly what — correct it and resubmit.
