Trust & Safety

Verification you can see. Moderation you can trust.

Travel-social only works if everyone on the platform is who they say they are. We've built Rendevuu from the ground up around three pillars: real people, real locations, and real consequences for bad actors.

Real people

  • Phone verification on every account. We use Twilio Verify to send a one-time code to your phone before your account is created. No throwaway emails. No SSO bypass.
  • Human-reviewed photos. Every profile photo is reviewed by a moderator before it goes live. Photos that look fake, AI-generated, or pulled from elsewhere on the web are rejected.
  • Profile completeness gates. You can't see other guests until you've uploaded at least 2 photos and completed verification.

Real locations

  • Geofenced check-ins. When you check in to a hotel, the app confirms you're physically nearby. You can't fake being at the Bellagio from a couch in Ohio.
  • Stay-bounded matches. You only appear in another guest's feed during the dates you're actually at the hotel. After your check-out date, your profile is invisible to other guests at that property.
  • No precise location sharing. Other users see that you're at the hotel, not your room number, not your live GPS coordinates.

Real consequences

  • In-app reporting on every profile. One tap to report harassment, fake profiles, inappropriate photos, or any other violation.
  • Daily review queue. Reports are reviewed by humans, not just classifiers. Action is taken within 24 hours for most reports.
  • Phone-number-level bans. When we ban a user, the underlying phone number is blocked — they can't just make a new email and come back.
  • Audit logs. Every moderation action is logged with the moderator's ID, the action taken, and the reason. We can answer the question "what happened to my report?" with a timestamp.

Best practices for you

  • Meet in public, well-lit hotel spaces — the lobby bar, the restaurant, the pool deck.
  • Tell a friend back home where you're going and who you're meeting.
  • Trust your gut. If something feels off, leave. Report after.
  • Never send money, photos, or personal info to someone you've just matched with.
