For guests

Be the guest hosts love to welcome.

Your host uses LekkerGuest to make check-in smooth and stays fair, for both sides. Here is exactly what that means for you.

LekkerGuest badge: Be the guest hosts love to welcome. Screened. Verified. Lekker.

Received a pre-check-in link? It takes five minutes.

Share your ID securely

Upload your ID in seconds, the same standard hotels have used for decades, minus the queue at reception. Your host reviews it before your stay.

Complete any access forms & sign the T&Cs

Complete any necessary pre-check-in forms for the property and sign any relevant house rules or T&Cs.

Confirm your damage protection

Depending on the property, you may have the option of either a refundable security deposit hold (+ a small service fee charge) or a smaller non-refundable damage waiver fee set by your host.

Done once, remembered next time: your verified profile follows you to any LekkerGuest stay, making every future check-in faster.

Your money, handled fairly.

Security deposits are holds, not charges

With the exception of a small verification fee (R47 in South Africa, $2.50 equivalent elsewhere), money is only captured if your host lodges a documented damage claim, and you see every item of it. If not, the hold is released automatically after your stay.

You always get a say

If a claim is lodged, you have a 72-hour window to review it, and if you disagree with any of the reported items, you can dispute them with your own evidence, before anything is charged.

Your data is protected

Your ID is used to confirm who is staying and to build your guest record. Payment details are stored by Stripe, a global payments provider; LekkerGuest never sees your card number.

Reviews are about behaviour, not revenge

Host reviews are structured, tied to verified stays, and moderated. One bad-faith review can't sink you, and great stays build a score that works in your favour.

The LekkerGuest Score

Being lekker pays off.

A lekker guest is respectful, communicative, and leaves the place like they found it. Your score grows with every verified, incident-free stay, unlocking smoother check-ins and hosts who compete to welcome you back.
