What "Email confirmed" means

What we have and have not checked about other users.

When you see "✓ Email confirmed" next to someone's name, it means exactly one thing: they clicked a link we sent to their email address.

⚠️ It is not an identity check. We have not verified anyone's name, seen any identity document, or confirmed that a person is who they say they are.

We collect a legal name and date of birth at sign-up, but these are self-declared. We would rather tell you that plainly than let a badge imply more than it should.

Judging a listing or a guest

  • Read the reviews. They come from people who actually completed and paid for a stay.
  • Look at the photos carefully and ask questions through Messages.
  • Be wary of anything that pushes you off the platform or rushes you.
