Safety
Different doesn't mean unsafe.We make sure of it.
Every stay here starts with a verified ID and a conversation, usually face to face on a video call. Staying with someone new can feel like a leap, so we go out of our way to make it a safe one. Here's exactly how.
See who's real.
An ID check is required to visit anyone. Members scan a government ID and take a liveness selfie through our partner, Didit, and earn a verified badge. Look for the badge. We keep only the pass result, never the document or the photo itself.
Meet face to face first.
Video calls are built right into the app. See each other, see the place, and talk through the plan before anyone packs a bag. It's the best filter there is, and it's where the friendship starts.
Reviews nobody can game.
After every stay, both sides review each other, and neither review shows until both are in. No retaliation, and no gaming a spotless profile the way bad actors do elsewhere.
Everything stays on the app.
Messages stay on Adopted Adults until a stay is confirmed. "Just text me here" is the oldest off-ramp there is, so we keep it switched off until your stay is locked in.
One strike and you're done.
Any safety violation means immediate removal, no warnings. And since confirming a stay takes a verified ID, a banned person can't spin up a new account and quietly walk back in.
Everyone has something to lose.
Everyone here has a home, a face, and a review history to protect, and a verified ID to confirm any stay. A community of adopters isn't anonymous or disposable.
Report or block in one tap.
Report or block any member in a single tap, any time, and the safety options sit right inside every stay. Our team responds fast to every safety report we get.
Different doesn't mean unsafe.
Hotels, rideshares and dinner guests all feel normal. Someone verified, reviewed and met face to face is no riskier, and FBI data shows about 3 in 4 people who are harmed by someone already knew them.
