Trust and confidence signals
Trust and confidence signals
OpenStays builds confidence through evidence, not manual inspection.
Every live profile carries automated confidence signals that help humans and AI agents understand provenance, domain connection, integrity, safety-screening and freshness.
Current V1 signals
- ✓ Submitter-declared owner or agency/manager label.
- ✓ Website-linked profile where badge/domain checks pass.
- ✓ Domain-matched contact route.
- ✓ Badge installed on approved domain.
- ✓ High-impact provenance coverage.
- ✓ Duplicate/address integrity checks.
- ✓ Contact/payment-safety checks.
- ✓ Data last updated or reconfirmed.
Why domain-matched contact matters
OpenStays only allows public contact routes on the approved property or agency domain: no public phone numbers, WhatsApp, Telegram, freemail, payment links, bank details, crypto wallets or off-domain booking instructions.
