Safety Tips for Hosts of Places to Stay
Hosting guests from all over the world can be an exciting and rewarding experience. As a responsible Host, ensuring the safety and well-being of your guests is of utmost importance. Follow these comprehensive tips to provide a secure and enjoyable stay for your guests on Pridebnb:
Interact on Pridebnb
When communicating with guests, always do so through Pridebnb's messaging system. This ensures that all conversations and transactions remain secure and protected. Using the platform's messaging tool allows you to get to know your guests better, address any questions or concerns they may have, and set clear expectations about your space and house rules.
Help guests know what to expect
Create a comprehensive guest manual and complete your house rules. Be sure to include essential information such as whether smoking is allowed, any restricted areas within your property, or any unique features or amenities you offer. Transparently sharing these details helps guests make informed decisions before booking and ensures a smooth experience during their stay.
Make sure you’re covered
Speak to your insurance provider to understand your existing coverage and whether you need additional protection for hosting guests. Adding an extra layer of protection through renter's or homeowner's insurance can provide peace of mind and financial security in case of unforeseen incidents.

Responsible hosting
Hosting comes with a level of commitment and responsibility. Familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations related to short-term rentals, and ensure that your listing complies with all necessary legal requirements. Stay informed about any updates or changes in local hosting regulations to avoid potential issues.
Implement Pridebnb's 5-step enhanced cleaning process
The 5-step cleaning process is a mandatory practice that all Hosts must follow between guest stays. This process, in addition to local laws and guidelines, aims to create a clean and safe environment for all guests. The steps include:

Step 3: Sanitize - Use disinfectants to reduce bacteria on frequently touched surfaces. Step 4: Check - Review your cleaning checklist to ensure all areas are properly cleaned and sanitized. Step 5: Reset - Replace guest supplies, linens, and cleaning kits while maintaining hygiene measures.
By adhering to the 5-step cleaning process, you help protect your guests and yourself from potential health risks.
Stay updated with local travel advisories and warnings

Be prepared for emergencies
While you hope for a smooth hosting experience, it's essential to be prepared for emergencies. Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures, including evacuation plans and the location of safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and first aid kits. Ensure that your guests are also aware of these safety measures.
Contact local authorities in case of emergency
In the event of an emergency or if your personal safety is threatened, don't hesitate to contact local police or emergency services immediately.
