What You Share Shapes Our Community
At Stay Caribbean, we value transparency, trust, and respectful communication. To maintain a safe and inclusive space for travelers, property partners, and locals, we ask all users to follow these content guidelines — whether you’re writing a property description, posting a review, or uploading media.
⸻
1. Be Honest and Accurate
Your words matter. Whether you’re a host creating a listing or a guest writing a review:
• Only share truthful, first-hand experiences.
• Avoid exaggeration or omission that may mislead others.
• Hosts must ensure descriptions, amenities, rules, and policies are up to date and reflect the actual property.
⸻
2. Stay Respectful and Inclusive
We celebrate diversity across the Caribbean and around the world. Content should be:
• Free from hate speech, discrimination, or prejudice.
• Respectful in tone — avoid aggressive or threatening language.
• Inclusive of all backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles.
⸻
3. No Promotional or Spam Content
• Listings should promote only the specific property or service you are offering on Stay Caribbean.
• Do not post external links, personal contact information, or unrelated advertisements.
• Reviews must reflect personal experience — not serve as marketing or competitive tactics.
⸻
4. Keep It Clean and Family-Friendly
Stay Caribbean is a community for travelers of all ages. We do not allow:
• Profanity, vulgarity, or sexually explicit content
• Violent or graphic descriptions
• Unverified or inappropriate health or safety claims
⸻
5. Respect Privacy
• Do not share private information of others (e.g., names, addresses, phone numbers) without consent.
• For hosts: if your property uses surveillance (e.g., security cameras), this must be clearly disclosed in your listing and follow legal requirements.
⸻
6. Review Standards
When leaving reviews:
• Be specific, constructive, and fair.
• Avoid using reviews to seek refunds or compensation.
• Reviews must relate to the actual stay or interaction — no third-party hearsay or revenge posting.
⸻
7. Image & Media Guidelines
• Upload clear, high-resolution photos that reflect your space honestly.
• Do not use misleading angles, filters, or staged representations.
• All images must be copyright-free or owned by the uploader.
⸻
Violations and Enforcement
We review content regularly and may remove or edit submissions that violate these guidelines. Repeated violations may result in account suspension or permanent removal from the platform.
