Vacation rental guest screening
Intelligent Guest Screening
Verify your guests
Use our intelligent vacation rental guest screening software to determine the true identity of guests that book your properties.
“Prior to using SUPERHOG, I was having to vet each booking situation myself. Now, I am sure at least that the identity of the guest booking matches the actual guest.”

“The verification process is streamlined and I have more confidence hosting guests and growing my business with SUPERHOG’s services!”

How it works
5 stages of guest verification
Step 1
After a guest books their stay, they receive their unique SUPERHOG ID link and begin the screening process.
Behind the scenes
This can be done through SUPERHOG’s automated messaging system via email or text or provided by you through our One Step Link.
Step 2
The guest inputs all their basic identification details into our secure database.
Behind the scenes
SUPERHOG automatically verifies the authenticity of the email address and the phone number by checking it, along with the legal name, against global telecommunications carrier databases.
Step 3
The guest signs SUPERHOG’s Guest Agreement.
Behind the scenes
This confirms that the guest is liable for any damage caused.
Step 4
The guest uploads a copy of their government-issued ID and a real-time selfie.
Behind the scenes
Our AI reads the ID to see if there are any discrepancies or image manipulation. It then compares the guest’s selfie (taken in real-time) against their ID photo through biometric checks to prevent identity spoofing.
Step 5
Once our checks are complete, the guest is verified and our Host Guarantee is automatically activated, protecting the booking.
Behind the scenes
If there are any hiccups, we reach out to your guest on your behalf to resolve the issue.

FAQs
What verifications does a guest have to go through?
Guests are put through a combination of checks against databases and are also checked by our biometric and ID verification software.
Will every guest attached to a booking need to be verified?
We verify the lead guest only as they are responsible for the booking.
What if I get a booking from a guest that has stayed before? Will they need to be verified again?
Yes, but only if there is a substantial gap between the bookings. This allows us to complete checks on whether the guest has caused damage in-between the bookings.
