Why Manual Guest Vetting Isn’t Scalable – And What Linkbase Is Doing to Help

Discover how Linkbase’s new Automated Guest Screening tool helps short-term rental hosts approve bookings faster, reduce risks, and avoid problematic guests – without the manual hassle.

The Problem: Guest Screening Takes Too Much Time (And Guesswork)

Running a short-term rental (STR) business isn’t just about listing properties – it’s about protecting your investment. Many hosts still manually:

– Check IDs
– Scan social media profiles
– Review past reviews (if available)
– Cross-reference with local regulations

But this process is slow, inconsistent, and often ineffective. A single bad guest can lead to:

– Property damage
– Noise complaints
– Unpaid fees
– Legal liabilities

What if technology could handle this for you?

Introducing Linkbase’s Automated Guest Screening

Linkbase now offers AI-powered guest vetting, designed to:

– Instantly verify identities (government ID checks)
– Flag high-risk bookings (based on past behavior)
– Auto-approve low-risk guests (saving hosts hours)
– Comply with local STR laws (no manual research needed)

How It Works:

1. Guest submits booking request → Linkbase scans their details
2. AI cross-references databases (ID validity, review history, etc.)
3. Host receives a risk score (Low/Medium/High) + recommended action
4. Auto-approvals for trusted guests; manual review for flagged cases
