Worried about scams? So are we. No one can take a booking until they pass three checks — and your money stays in escrow until you've checked in.
Hosts upload a title deed, municipal rates bill or letter of mandate — confirming they're entitled to let the home.
We scan and validate each host's South African ID or passport, confirming the document is genuine and the details check out.
A live facial scan with a liveness check is matched to the photo on their ID — a real person, not a stolen identity.
Pay through Ikhayalami only. Funds are held securely and released to the host after a successful check-in — never before.
Keep chats and payments on Ikhayalami. If a host asks you to pay off-platform, report them — that alone is a red flag.
Try loosening a must-have or widening the area — Stay is still growing its verified inventory suburb by suburb.
