Guest Verification

Airbnb provides a built-in guest verification system; however, we may request additional information as necessary for other booking platforms or bookings made on our website.

All provided information is verified using a third-party technology platform, AutoHost. Guests will receive a link to a portal where they can provide any requested details, such as payment information or contact information.

We cannot proceed with the booking if we cannot verify your details. Any confidential information is encrypted and processed securely.

Security and Damages

Guests must immediately report all security breaches, damages or losses to Cosmo Homes. We will provide a telephone number for emergencies.

Guests booking with Airbnb are subject to AirCover claims through the Resolution Center for any damages or other issues as noted.

For other booking platforms or bookings made on our website, we will place a temporary card pre-authorisation of AUD 500.00 on the provided credit or debit card. The authorised amount is not charged to the card. For bookings over seven days, banks require us to renew the pre-authorisation every seven days. Pre-authorisations may also be subject to an AUD 2.00 charge to verify the card, depending on the bank.

If we cannot verify the provided card details or the card has an insufficient balance, we will ask that you provide an alternative credit or debit card. Otherwise, we may be required to cancel the booking.

Card pre-authorisations are released within seven to ten days of check-out, depending on the bank, provided no claims are made per these considerations;

• Security breaches due to lost keys or sharing access details;
• Damages to the property or its contents;
• Excessive cleaning fees;
• Any other breaches of our Rental Policy.
