Guest Code of Conduct

Last updated: 23 June 2025

At Whattaplace, every space is more than just a venue — it’s a creation. Each one is carefully curated and lovingly shared by its owner, not just to host your shoot or gathering, but to become part of your story. As a Guest, you're stepping into someone’s crafted environment. Please treat it with the same respect and care that went into making it.

1. Treat the Space Like a Creation, Not Just a Location

  • Every Host has poured time, thought, and heart into their space. Honor that.

  • Follow the Host’s house rules — they’re there to protect both the space and your experience.

  • Use only the areas permitted and leave things just as beautifully as you found them.

2. Be Clear and Honest About Your Intentions

  • Let your booking reflect your true purpose — whether it’s a shoot, workshop, meeting, or celebration.

  • Be upfront about your crew size, equipment, and special requirements.

  • Hidden use or last-minute surprises break trust and may result in penalties.

3. Respect the Surroundings

  • Remember that many of these spaces are part of residential or mixed-use neighbourhoods.

  • Keep noise levels respectful and avoid causing disruption to the community.

  • All activities must comply with local laws — no illegal substances, weapons, or unlicensed events.

4. Be Accountable for Your Impact

  • You’re responsible for any damage, mess, or misuse during your time in the space.

  • Report any incidents or breakages to the Host and Whattaplace immediately.

  • Costs for repairs, extra cleaning, or extended time may apply post-booking.

5. Leave it Better, Not Just Clean

  • Clean up after yourself — pack up, dispose of waste responsibly, and reset any moved furniture.

  • End your session on time so that Hosts (and other Guests) aren’t left waiting or cleaning up after you.

6. Respect Through Communication

  • Stay responsive and transparent with your Host — good communication makes for great experiences.

  • Running late or need help? Let your Host know.

  • Report any disputes or concerns to Whattaplace within 24 hours of your booking.

7. Security, Trust & Transparency

We take safety seriously — for both Guests and Hosts. By using Whattaplace, you agree to:

  • ID Verification: Hosts may request valid ID for every crew or team member entering the space. Refusal or misrepresentation may lead to denied entry or cancellation.

  • Security Cameras: Some spaces may have surveillance cameras in common or exterior areas for safety reasons.

    • Hosts must clearly disclose camera presence in their listing.

    • Cameras are strictly prohibited in private spaces like bathrooms or dressing areas.-

    • Tampering with or disabling security equipment is not allowed under any circumstances.

8. This is a Shared Culture

Opening up a space is an act of trust. At Whattaplace, we see every booking as a moment of shared creativity. Misuse, mistreatment, or repeated violations of this code can lead to account suspension or removal from the platform.
