D7 before the doorbell
D7 — Trust & safety spans verification, reports, and policy enforcement so home dining does not rely on vibes alone. Hosts invest in transparency; guests bring respect; the platform provides rails when either side breaks the bargain.
What guests should notice
- Consistent identity signals on profiles you book.
- Clear escalation paths if something feels wrong in messages or at arrival.
What hosts should invest in
- Accurate listings and prompt replies—verification complements honesty; it does not replace it.
Stay in the loop
reviews-as-signals and risk-awareness-for-hosts round out the picture on both sides of the table.
