How Beekoozy Works
Discover our community-driven approach to hosting. Fair reviews, real protection, and rewards that matter—for both hosts and guests.
The Beekoozy Community
All Beekoozy hosts are automatically part of the Beekoozy Community—a collaborative network built on support, shared knowledge, and collective success.
Beekoozy works like a hive (colmena de abejas): when we work together, everyone benefits. Success at Beekoozy is not individual—it's collective.
Stronger Together
The community exists to:
- Support one another
- Share experience and best practices
- Help hosts grow and become more successful
- Raise the quality and consistency of stays
The Beekoozy Philosophy
Collaboration over competition.
Support over penalties.
Growth over blame.
Welcome to the Beekoozy hive. 🐝
When a Beekoozy host stays at another Beekoozy property as a guest, the system works differently:
- The host-guest cannot leave a negative public review
- Instead, they may send a private internal message
The goal is education, not punishment.
Every piece of constructive feedback helps:
- Prevent bad reviews in future bookings
- Improve guest satisfaction
- Strengthen trust within the community
- Elevate the overall Beekoozy experience
Host Protection & Insurance Options
Beekoozy provides hosts with full control over how they protect their property. Each host may choose one of the following three protection options for their listing.
The host may require a refundable security deposit from the guest.
- •Higher upfront cost (refundable)
- •Medium protection level
- •Coverage limited to deposit amount
- •Some guests dislike deposits
Good basic protection but can lead to disputes and delays when damages occur.
The host may require the guest to purchase low-cost stay insurance.
- Low-cost insurance fee for guest
- High protection level
- Excellent peace of mind for host
- Low dispute risk (insurance handles claims)
- Smooth, worry-free experience
Low cost for guests, strong protection for hosts, fewer conflicts, and faster resolutions.
The host may choose not to require a deposit or insurance.
- ✗No additional cost to guest
- ✗No protection
- ✗No peace of mind
- ✗High dispute risk
- ✗Host assumes full responsibility
No protection. The host fully assumes the risk if anything happens during the stay.
Evidence Requirements
To guarantee fairness and avoid "pre-existing condition" excuses:
For Hosts:
Must provide photo/video proof of property condition before guest arrival.
For Guests:
Encouraged to inspect the property at check-in and report anything unusual immediately.
Damage must be reported within 7 days after checkout or before the next booking, whichever comes first.
With Proper Documentation, Beekoozy Ensures:
Our Recommendation: For the best balance between guest satisfaction, host protection, and peace of mind, Beekoozy strongly recommends Guest Insurance.
Fair stays. Clear rules. Real protection.
Reviews & Fairness Policy
At Beekoozy, fairness, transparency, and mutual respect are the foundation of our platform. We recognize how much effort hosts put into maintaining their properties and delivering excellent guest experiences.
Beekoozy will review all requests for the removal of negative reviews. To ensure a fair evaluation, we may request:
- Before-and-after photos or videos
- Written communications between host and guest
- Any additional documentation relevant to the stay
If, after review, Beekoozy determines that a review was left in bad faith, contains false statements, or is not supported by evidence, the review will be removed.
In such cases:
- • The host will be permitted to leave a review for the guest
- • The host will not face retaliation or additional negative reviews
To reflect reality and fairness:
Any completed stay without a guest review within 10 days will automatically receive a 5-star review.
We understand that many guests have excellent experiences but forget to leave reviews due to busy schedules. This policy ensures hosts are not penalized for positive stays that go unreviewed.
Our Philosophy on Reviews & Hospitality
Hospitality does not mean absorbing losses, accepting disrespect, or tolerating bad behavior.
Beekoozy believes good communication, respectful guest behavior, responsible hosting, and fair business outcomes…should naturally result in 5-star reviews.
Beekoozy's Commitment
Beekoozy is built to balance the interests of both hosts and guests, creating:
This is hospitality done right.
