Turn on host mode for a rental

If you host on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com or take direct bookings, Claimfrog's host mode gives you a record of your rental's condition before and after every stay, and builds damage claims that meet platform deadlines.

Steps

1. Go to Settings and open Short-term rental.
2. Turn on This property is a short-term rental.
3. Choose your Main booking platform: Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Direct bookings or Other.
4. Click Save. Host now appears in the menu.

You can also turn this on during setup with Is this a short-term rental?.

Then, in order

1. Document your contents once. Add the furniture, electronics and decor in the rental with photos and values, so a damage claim can point to each item. Room capture is the fastest way.
2. Connect your booking calendars so stays fill in on their own. See Connect your booking calendars.
3. Do a stay check at each turnover. See Stay checks.

Good to know

• Host mode is part of Premium and Business. On a shared property, it follows the owner's plan.
• Only the property owner can change the rental settings.
• The dashboard's Rental host card shows open stay checks, today's check-outs, the next arrival and any claim deadline coming up.
