How can I assess if a member is trustworthy?
Some people say that trust is a matter of instinct or “gut feeling”. “Go with your guts” works very well for some people but not for others and we recommend that you take all available information into account when deciding who to host, stay with, or meet.

What to do in an uncomfortable situation?
Sometimes a hospitality experience can become uncomfortable: You feel uneasy or something does not seem right? Maybe your host or guest communicates or acts in a way which irritates you?
What to do in an emergency situation?
If you find yourself in an emergency situation during a hospitality experience (e.g. you feel threatened or harassed or a crime has been committed), please do everything possible to get out of the situation as fast as possible and contact the local police or a hospital, depending on the circumstances. Once you are safely out of that situation, please make sure to warn other members by writing a negative comment and contact us to report what happened.
