What "Verified Stay" Actually Means on Rooma

"Verified" is a word that has been diluted across travel platforms. Here is exactly what it means on ours, so you can judge it for yourself.

Before a listing goes live

  • Ownership or management authority is documented
  • Photos are matched against the actual unit — no stock imagery
  • Pricing, fees, and the cancellation policy are confirmed in writing
  • A working contact channel is tested with the host

While the listing is live

Reviews come only from guests with a completed stay, so the rating reflects people who actually slept there. Listings that accumulate unresolved complaints are paused pending review.

“Verification is not a promise that nothing goes wrong. It is a promise that there is someone accountable when it does.”

If something is not as described

Contact us within 24 hours of check-in. We work with the host on a fix first, and where that is not possible we help you relocate.
