Your house could be on Airbnb right now.
Tenants sublet. Platforms look away. Neighbours complain too late. Cuckoo watches the rental platforms around your address — 24/7 — and tells you the moment a listing appears.
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
Upload a few interior shots. We fingerprint every listing’s photos and match them against yours — so a hit is your flat, not the one next door.
Through the fuzzing
Platforms blur listing locations by ~150 m. We triangulate them back down to ~30 m and match against your exact address.
Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo
The Antwerp case that started this ran on two platforms at once. We watch them all, around your pin, every day.
Proof you can act on
Every alert comes with screenshots, the listing history, prices charged and a match-confidence score — ready for the platform, your lawyer, or the city.
How it works
Pin your property
Enter the address and add a few interior photos. Two minutes, once.
We watch the platforms
Cuckoo polls the rental platforms around your coordinates, continuously, wherever your property is.
You get the alert
A match triggers an instant email and SMS with the listing, the evidence, and what to do next.
One bad tenant costs more than a decade of Cuckoo

“Cuckoo found our apartment on Booking.com eleven days after the tenant listed it. The evidence report ended the dispute in one meeting.”
“We manage 340 units. The first portfolio scan flagged four listings we had no idea existed.”
“The free scan came back clean. I paid for the year anyway — it’s cheaper than one bad month of sleep.”
Questions, answered
Airbnb hides exact locations. How do you find my address?
Listings show a fuzzed ~150 m circle. We query the map from many shifted angles and intersect the results, narrowing the true position to roughly 30 m — then confirm with photo matching.
Which platforms do you monitor?
Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo today, with more being added. Real cases usually run on two platforms at once.
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 alert includes an escalation guide: platform takedown request, lease enforcement with the evidence report, and — in the EU — the new short-term-rental registers that give authorities teeth.
Do you cover my city?
Yes. We monitor around your pin, not city by city — a property in Osaka and one in Lisbon are covered exactly the same way.
