Autohost is a guest screening and risk assessment platform designed for hospitality operators who want to vet guests before they arrive. Its core product runs identity verification, background checks, global watchlist screening, and social verification against a guest's booking data.
Autohost generates a risk score for each reservation. The system factors in ID document quality, facial liveness detection, credit history, and behavioral signals. Operators receive an automated recommendation — approve, review, or decline.
Autohost's payment verification tools cross-reference the booking payment method against the verified guest identity, flagging mismatches that often precede chargebacks.
Autohost integrates with major property management systems including Guesty, Lodgify, Hostaway, and Cloudbeds.
Autohost is most valuable for vacation rental operators, short-term rental managers, and boutique hotels that handle direct bookings.
