Who is allowed to list, what happens when a stay is wrong, and where your money sits in between. Not a policy page, a description of how the thing works.
Who you are dealing with
Nobody lists a property here without passing an independent identity check and a review by us. It is enforced in the software: until both are done, the listing cannot be published at all.
On the guest side, every account is tied to an email address that has been confirmed, and a booking is tied to the account that paid for it.
Your money is held, not forwarded
AtlasOra holds the payment until you have arrived and confirmed the property is as described. Nothing reaches the host before that.
Reporting a problem freezes it again. That is why a refund here is a decision someone makes rather than money somebody has to chase.
Dispute resolution
When something is wrong, the money stops first and the questions come after. Raising a dispute on a booking freezes the payout to the host on the spot, so nothing is being recovered from anyone while we look at it. Both sides give their account in the same thread as the booking.
Host accountability
Hosts on AtlasOra are held to a clear set of standards. Listings must accurately represent the property, and hosts must respond to guest issues within defined timeframes.
Our accountability framework tracks listing accuracy, response times, cancellation rates, and guest satisfaction. Hosts who consistently fall below standards receive warnings, reduced visibility, or suspension.
Top-performing hosts earn elevated placement in search results and access to premium tools, creating a direct incentive to maintain high standards.
Where this is written down
The detail, if you want it
Every claim on this page is a mechanism rather than a promise, and each one has a page that explains how it works.
