Checking guest identity

Avalon Beach, Australia

Does anyone do extra identity checks to ensure the people booking are ok? There seems to be little comeback if not.

Not in five years and hundreds of guests no @Lis10859

What ID checks are you planning to carry out?

@Lis10859 I'm also confused about what you mean. Asking guests to show ID upon arrival? Or conducting some kind of background check?
