Why Does Safety Matter in Airbnb and Short-Term Rentals?
Safety is a top concern for modern travelers, especially when staying in unfamiliar neighborhoods. By highlighting yourproperty’s security features, you not only attract more bookings, you inspire trust and earn better reviews.
Many guests now prioritize secure entryways, reinforced windows, and visible protection over luxury amenities. If you’re a host in Las Vegas, Phoenix, or elsewhere, upgrading your rental with proven safety features can significantly increase appeal and reduce liability.
What Security Features Do Guests Look For?
Guests want peace of mind, and visible security features help them feel protected from day one. Features like security doors, screens, and lighting show that safety is part of the experience.
Popular safety features include:
- Well-lit entrances and pathways
- Crimsafe® security screens on windows and doors
- Shield Security Doors with multi-point locks and steel frames
- Outdoor cameras and signage (even fake cameras help)
- Reinforced patio and sliding doors

What’s the ROI of Investing in Rental Security?
Security features reduce the risk of costly damage and boost your credibility as a host. More importantly, they translate into positive reviews and repeat bookings.
