For short-term rental hosts

Host Smarter.
Sleep Easier.

Handing over your keys to a stranger shouldn't cost you sleep. LekkerGuest verifies who is walking through your door, holds real protection on every booking, and settles claims in days, not months. Accountability. Built in.

Free to join. No subscription. One small service fee when protection is collected, and in most cases the guest pays it, not you.

Why LekkerGuest

Three things every host deserves.

Screen smarter.

Every guest submits their ID and completes a pre-check-in profile before arrival. Cross-host guest history means you see how they treated the last place, not just their booking-platform stars.

Protect your properties.

Choose per property: a card-held security deposit or a damage waiver that you set and price. Collected automatically before check-in, no awkward conversations.

Hold guests accountable.

Damage happens? Lodge a claim with photos, the guest gets a fair 72-hour window to respond, and settlement lands in your account. No loss-adjuster limbo.

How it works

Live in minutes. Protected on every booking.

Verify

Connect your PMS or add bookings directly. Each guest receives a pre-check-in link: ID upload, house rules signature, and payment details, all before they get the keys.

Protect

LekkerGuest places the security deposit hold or collects your damage waiver fee automatically. You see the protection status of every stay on one dashboard.

Resolve

If something goes wrong, lodge an itemised claim. Guests respond within 72 hours, funds are captured from the protection already in place, and you are paid out to your bank.

Built by hosts, for hosts

Hosting should be rewarding, not risky.

Our mission is simple: to give every host the confidence to welcome guests, and the protection to recover quickly when things go wrong. Every feature exists because a host needed it, streamlined guest screening, built-in damage protection, itemised claims, and a host-only guest review system.

"We stopped choosing between awkward deposit conversations and eating the cost of damage. Now every booking arrives verified and protected before check-in."

The LekkerGuest Score

A lekker guest is worth recognising.

A lekker guest is respectful, communicative, and leaves the place like they found it. The LekkerGuest Score rewards them with smoother check-ins wherever they stay next, and gives you the behavioural track record booking platforms never show you. Guests know their score follows them, and deterrence works better than any claim ever will.
