Practical guidance for safer shared-stay bookings and direct payments.
Last updated: May 27, 2026
Review listing photos, address details, house rules, pricing, and host payment instructions before sending money. Ask the host for clarification if anything looks inconsistent or rushed.
Keep payment receipts, transfer references, booking dates, and host messages. Submit clear payment proof through Beds Share after paying the host directly.
Be cautious if someone asks you to bypass the booking record, send money to an unrelated account, ignore the listed house rules, or make urgent payment decisions without enough information.
Contact Beds Share support if a listing appears misleading, a host confirms a payment they did not receive, or a guest submits suspicious payment proof.
