🌟 Hosting an Experience on Lebanon Locals: What We Expect

Experiences on Lebanon Locals are not just activities—they’re stories.
They reflect the host’s passion, culture, and personal perspective. Whether it’s making saj bread in a village courtyard or taking guests on a hidden trail hike in the Cedars, every experience should feel unique, authentic, and unforgettable.

To maintain high standards across the platform, we ask all experience hosts to meet a few essential guidelines. These aren’t just rules—they’re what help turn good experiences into 5-star ones.

🧭 What Makes a Great Experience?

1. Local Passion & Credibility
You should be deeply connected to what you're offering. Whether it's a skill, a tradition, or a story—it should come from the heart, and from real knowledge or experience.

2. Behind-the-Scenes Access
Guests book with Lebanon Locals because they want more than the usual tourist route. Show them something they'd never find on Google—like a family farm, a hidden beach, or a friend's olive press.

3. Personal Story & Perspective
Bring your own story into the experience. It’s not just about what guests do, but why it matters to you. Let them see Lebanon through your eyes.

4. Participation Over Performance
This isn’t a show. Guests should be hands-on—cooking, dancing, crafting, harvesting, or learning. They came to be part of something real, not just watch.

5. Human Connection
The best experiences feel like you’re hanging out with a new friend. Learn names. Encourage conversations. Make space for laughter and shared moments.

🔍 Accuracy & Transparency

Guests should know exactly what they’re booking. Make sure your listing includes:

• What’s included (food, transportation, gear, etc.)

• Where to meet

• How long it will last

• What to bring

• Group size and guest requirements

💡 Important: Only guests who book through Lebanon Locals can attend. If friends or unregistered participants show up, that’s a violation.

📬 Communication & Commitment

• Respond quickly to guest inquiries—before and after booking.

• Don’t cancel unless it’s truly urgent. It breaks trust and affects your visibility.

• Keep your calendar and details updated, especially if you pause your experience.

🤝 Respect & Inclusion

Your guests may be from very different backgrounds. Welcome everyone with kindness and patience—no matter their language, nationality, or beliefs. A little effort goes a long way in building a respectful, joyful atmosphere.

💰 Value for Price

You set your price—but make sure the experience feels worth it.
A guest should walk away feeling like they got something special—not just a service, but a memory they’ll keep.

If guests consistently feel the value doesn’t match the price, we may pause your listing until improvements are made.

🌍 Hosting with Heart

Hosting isn’t just about logistics—it’s about sharing Lebanon’s spirit.
When done right, it’s one of the most rewarding ways to connect, inspire, and create impact.

If you're ready to represent your culture, your region, or your passion—Lebanon Locals is ready to support you.
