What happened

Confirmed facts

  • Reservation ran 6 nights; the guest stayed all 6 nights and checked out on schedule.
  • A maintenance call-out was logged on night 2 and attended on the morning of night 3.
  • A portable cooling unit was delivered to the property on night 3.

What the guest wants

A $1,200 refund, roughly half the stay, and has mentioned leaving a review.

What is at risk

$1,200 claimed against a $2,480 reservation, plus one night of goodwill already offered.

Still unknown

  • Whether the fault was total failure or reduced cooling.
  • Indoor temperatures during nights 1 and 2.
  • Whether the guest accepted the portable unit as a resolution.

Host claims — not yet confirmed

  • The air conditioning was serviced 5 weeks before arrival.
  • The unit was cooling normally at the previous checkout inspection.

Guest claims — not yet confirmed

  • The air conditioning did not work at all for the entire stay.
  • Nobody responded for two days.
  • The bedrooms were unusable overnight.

Fictional case. No real guest, reservation or platform decision is shown.

The problem

Guest issues become expensive when the evidence, communication and policy do not line up.

Most losses are not caused by the incident. They are caused by a reply sent too fast, a photo nobody kept, a timeline nobody wrote down and a rule nobody checked.

The reply goes out first

An emotional message gets an emotional answer, and that answer becomes part of the case.

The evidence is scattered

Photos in one phone, invoices in an inbox, messages in a platform app. Nothing is assembled.

The rule is assumed

Operators act on what they think the platform policy says, months after it changed.

Case types

Built for the situations your PMS was never designed to solve.

Cases can involve reservations from major OTAs, including Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, as well as direct bookings.

What HostCase produces

Know what you can prove before you escalate.

Structured case summary

What happened, what is claimed and what is actually established.

Chronology

The sequence of events, timestamped from the conversation and your records.

Fact vs allegation

Confirmed facts, host claims, guest claims and unknowns kept apart.

Evidence assessment

What you have, what is strong, what conflicts and what is missing.

Policy alignment

The rules that actually apply, with the date each source was verified.

Risk analysis

Communication risk, financial exposure and operational risk, each explained.

Guest response draft

Calm, factual, non-adversarial — and never sent without your approval.

Platform escalation draft

Concise, chronological and evidence-based, ready for you to submit.

Internal action list

Tasks, responsible role, urgency and the documentation to keep.

Commercial options

No compensation, partial goodwill or service recovery, with the reasoning.

Evidence & policy intelligence

Facts stay facts. Allegations stay allegations.

HostCase never converts a claim into a confirmed fact, never invents evidence and never fabricates a platform rule.

Verified policy sources only

Each policy entry carries its source, its effective date and the date it was last verified. Where no current verified source covers the point, the case says policy verification required.

Conflicts are named, not smoothed over

When your records and the guest's account disagree, HostCase says so and shows which evidence supports which version.

Scores that explain themselves

Evidence completeness, policy alignment, communication risk, financial exposure and urgency — each with the reasoning behind the rating.

No outcome promises

There is no chance-of-winning number, because no such number can be honest. You get an operational assessment instead.

Human QA

A person can check the case before you act on it.

Request a review

Send a case to the HostCase review queue when the money or the relationship justifies it.

A reviewer works the case

They read the summary, evidence, analysis, policy references and drafts, then approve, edit or ask for more evidence.

Every change is logged

Revisions are recorded against the case, so you can see exactly what changed and why.

Pricing

Priced per case, not per message.

Keep sensitive data out

Never upload card numbers, banking or platform passwords, door access codes, government ID or unrelated sensitive information.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Does HostCase send messages to my guests or the platform?

No. HostCase prepares the drafts and the case pack. You review, edit and send them yourself.

Is HostCase affiliated with Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo?

No. HostCase AI is an independent third-party service and is not endorsed by or associated with Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or their affiliated companies. You can use it to organise cases involving reservations from major OTAs as well as direct bookings.

Will HostCase tell me whether I will win?

No. There is no probability score. You get operational assessments — evidence completeness, policy alignment, communication risk, financial exposure and urgency — each with the reason behind it.

What happens when the applicable rule is unclear?

HostCase says policy verification required and tells you what to confirm. It never invents a clause, a policy number or a platform rule.

Is this legal advice?

No. HostCase is not a law firm or an insurer and does not provide legal advice. Where legal interpretation is required, professional legal advice may be needed.

What does the free Case Scan include?

Case type, severity, urgency, evidence completeness, communication risk, the information you are missing and the recommended next action. The full case pack, the drafts and the escalation submission are part of a paid Case Pack.
