Answer Your Burning Questions

What is a STRe?

A STRe is a Short-Term Rental Entrepreneur someone who operates and manages short-term rental properties with professionalism, care, and a commitment to quality guest experiences.

What does it mean to have my property certified by High Performance Home?

Certification means your property has passed our rigorous standards for comfort, performance, and design. It’s a signal to guests that your rental offers more than just a place to stay—it delivers a higher level of care, quality, and consistency.

Why should I certify my short-term rental?

Certification sets your property apart in a crowded marketplace, builds guest trust, and can lead to better reviews, higher occupancy, and premium pricing. It helps travelers book with confidence, knowing they’re choosing a verified high-performance stay.

How does the certification process work?

You’ll submit your property for review through our guided process. We evaluate key aspects like layout, lighting, acoustics, materials, comfort, and maintenance standards. If your property meets our criteria, it becomes officially HPH Certified.

What types of properties qualify?

Any short-term rental from studio apartments to multi-bedroom homes can qualify as long as it meets our standards. Whether you’re just getting started or managing a growing portfolio, we welcome all STRe entrepreneurs committed to excellence.
