Monitor short-term rental listings around your property.
Cuckoo checks Airbnb and Booking.com around your address every day. If a new public listing may match your property, you get an alert and a dated evidence record.
The cuckoo lays its egg in another bird’s nest.
Some tenants do the same with your property.
Most owners find out from angry neighbours, months in. By then there are parties, strangers with key codes, and a lease dispute with no paper trail. Detection is the gap — and it’s the one thing we do.
What Cuckoo watches for you
Your photos vs. their listing
In development: photo comparison will let you add a few interior photos so Cuckoo can strengthen the match beyond location and property details.
Around the pin you confirm
Platforms blur exact locations. Cuckoo scans a fixed 150 m area around the pin you confirm, then compares nearby listings with your property details.
Airbnb & Booking.com
Cuckoo currently scans Airbnb and Booking.com around your pin every day.
A record you can act on
When Cuckoo confirms a finding, its evidence pack keeps the listing link, page captures, observation history and match rationale in one place.
How it works
Pin your property
Enter the address, confirm the pin, add a few property details. Two minutes, once.

Questions, answered
Airbnb hides exact locations. How do you find my address?
Platforms blur exact listing locations. You confirm your property pin, and Cuckoo scans a fixed 150 m area around it. Nearby listings are compared with your property details and reported with their match confidence.
Which platforms do you monitor?
Airbnb and Booking.com. Cuckoo currently scans both around your address every day.
Is this legal?
We only look at publicly visible listings — the same pages any guest can open. Nothing is accessed behind a login on your behalf.
You found a listing. Now what?
Your evidence pack preserves the listing link, captures, observation history and match rationale. You can use that record when contacting the platform, your adviser or the relevant authority; it is not a guarantee of legal proof.
Do you cover my city?
We monitor around your pin, not city by city. The free scan currently covers addresses in Europe — more countries follow.
What if my tenant is subletting without permission?
That is exactly the case Cuckoo was built around. Read how owners detect unauthorized Airbnb subletting, or run the free scan directly.
