Trust and Safety

TravelBuddy247 connects people who often meet in real life. That's a responsibility we take seriously — so we choose honest product language, real users only, and practical safety controls over growth shortcuts.

What we do today

You approve who can talk to you

A conversation only opens after you accept someone's request. Discover stays consent-first — no one messages you without your say-so.

Report and block, instantly

See something off? Report it, or block the person in a tap. You're always in control of who can reach you.

Verified accounts

Sensitive actions require a verified email, so the people acting on the platform are real accounts — not throwaways.

What you see is real

We'd rather show an honest empty space than invent profiles, reviews, listings, or activity to look busier than we are.

AirportBuddy expectations

AirportBuddy is peer support between travellers — not an airport, airline, private-accompaniment, emergency, immigration, legal, or medical service. Helpers are fellow travellers and locals, not staff. Meet only in public airport areas, keep your conversation in the app, and make your own safety calls.

Budget Stays expectations

Budget Stays is a preview for now. Booking, payments, and public Community Stays listings aren't live yet — and you'll never see fake availability or fake reviews filling the gap.

Our commitment to trust

Trust isn't a feature we finish — it's a standard we hold ourselves to. We continuously strengthen moderation, verification, and safety review as a core part of running TravelBuddy247 responsibly.

Trust FAQ

Does TravelBuddy247 ever fake activity?

No. You'll only ever see real users and honest empty states — never fake profiles, reviews, listings, or activity.

Can someone message me out of the blue?

No. A conversation only opens after you accept a connection request. You decide who gets to talk to you.

What if something feels unsafe?

Report or block the person right inside the app. For anything serious, email complaints@travelbuddy247.com — a real person reads every message.

For serious abuse, harassment, fake profile reports, or safety concerns, contact complaints@travelbuddy247.com.
