The Safety Certification for Short-Term Stays

CanopyStay verifies vacation rentals that meet a trusted safety standard — helping travelers book with confidence and helping hosts stand out.

We are working with the first 20 hosts to shape the CanopyStay safety standard.

The Problem

Booking a “Safe” Stay Is Mostly Guesswork

Millions of vacation rentals advertise safety features, accessibility, or family-friendly spaces. But these claims are rarely verified.

Travelers often have to rely on photos and descriptions to determine whether a home is truly safe.

For guests travelling with:

  • aging parents
  • young children
  • mobility needs

this uncertainty creates real risk.

The Solution

Introducing CanopyStay Certification

CanopyStay is building the first safety certification designed specifically for short-term rentals.

Homes that meet the CanopyStay safety standard receive a Canopy Certified Stay badge, helping guests instantly recognise properties that prioritise safety.

For hosts, certification builds trust and helps listings stand out.
