About AirBSCheck
We're a Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to bringing transparency to the short-term rental market.
Our Mission
Every year, millions of travelers fall victim to misleading rental listings. From AI-generated photos to fake reviews, the deception tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated. AirBSCheck exists to level the playing field.
We believe everyone deserves honest, accurate information when booking accommodations. Our technology helps identify potential red flags before you commit your hard-earned money to a reservation.
Our Values
Transparency
We believe in clear, honest communication about what listings really offer.
Consumer Protection
Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.
Innovation
We continuously improve our detection methods to stay ahead of deceptive practices.
Independence
We maintain neutrality and don't accept payments from rental platforms.
Why We Built This
AirBSCheck was born from frustration. Our founders experienced firsthand the disappointment of arriving at a rental that looked nothing like its listing. The "luxury waterfront villa" turned out to be a cramped apartment near a drainage canal. The "professionally cleaned" space had mold in the bathroom. The "quiet neighborhood" was next to a construction site.
We realized this wasn't just our problem – it was happening to travelers everywhere. So we decided to do something about it.
