Guest Responsibility

What guests are accountable for during a HelloHoliday stay.

Last updated July 1, 20261 min read

Every guest agrees to treat the host's home with the same care they would give their own. This page explains what that means in practice.

You are responsible for

  • Damage caused to the property, furniture, appliances, or grounds.
  • Broken items, whether accidental or deliberate.
  • Extra cleaning required because of negligence or excessive mess.
  • Violating clearly posted house rules.
  • Parties, events, or illegal activity on the property.
  • Unapproved additional guests or overnight visitors.

If damage occurs

  1. The host may submit a claim with evidence within 14 days of check-out.
  2. HelloHoliday shares the evidence with you and gives you a chance to respond.
  3. Our team reviews both sides before making a decision.

Consequences

  • Deductions from the security deposit, if one applies.
  • Suspension of your HelloHoliday account.
  • Permanent ban for serious or repeat violations.
  • Recovery of damages through legal channels where applicable.
