Vacation Rentals - Screening guests

[Steve Dove]

Hi all,

    Is anyone with a vacation rental, currently using, or have you used www.guestchecker.com for verifying a potential guest in your rental? In 8 years, I've been extremely fortunate to have great guests stay with us. Unfortunately, this past week, we had a group of so-called professionals stay and trash one of our homes. I'm thinking about using the site, but they do require that you link back to them, with a disclaimer indicating that guest information can or will be reported to them. My only reservation with this, is that it may be a deterrent to future "good" guests.

Thoughts?

and @Kris Taylor I agree we should focus on giving positive reviews and accepting guests with good feedback rather than blacklisting people. Seek out the good!
