TrustedStays connects professional short-term rentals to the corporate and government travel market. To access bookings through TrustedStays and the Global Distribution System (GDS), trust and compliance come first.
Every supplier and property on our platform must meet verified industry and quality standards. That means being part of an industry body, passing our compliance checks, and ideally gaining third-party accreditation. Corporate teams don’t book holidays — they book confidence.
TrustedStays partners with STAA and ARL to help shape the future of professional short-term rentals. Being a member of a recognised body signals to corporate buyers and industry stakeholders that you’re committed to professionalism, compliance and quality.
As we start your onboarding onto the TrustedStays platform, you'll need to pass our baseline quality and compliance checks. This ensures your properties meet essential safety, legal, and insurance standards. This fast, free process is designed to get you live and bookable on TrustedStays and the GDS while demonstrating your commitment to doing things the right way.
Going beyond verification, accreditation by organisations like Quality in Tourism (QiT) or VisitEngland adds an independent stamp of quality through a site inspection. Accreditation can include optional star ratings, guest experience evaluations, and sustainability criteria – all powerful tools to build trust and future-proof your portfolio against growing demand for quality and responsible practices.
Industry bodies like STAA and ARL exist to support your business – offering everything from regulatory updates to networking opportunities. If you’re committed to the long-term success of your operation, becoming a member is more than a checkbox, it’s a statement of intent.
The Short Term Accommodation Association (STAA) represents hundreds of businesses across the UK and their support ensures TrustedStays is part of an industry movement that positions the UK as a global leader in short-term accommodation.
