Wall of Happiness: Real Traveler Stories

"Traveling from Lagos for a Singapore tech summit, I wanted a private guide without payment risk. In Nigeria, HostSG verified my identity instantly using my NIN. My Singapore host was Singpass-verified. Daily milestone release meant I had 100% control over my funds. Look at my smile at Marina Bay!"

"I am a passionate foodie, but Singapore's hawker stalls can be intimidating if you don't know the etiquette. My HostSG guide Raymond knew every legendary stall at Lau Pa Sat and ordered in Hokkien dialect. Holding payment in escrow until the feast wrapped up made the booking totally stress-free."

"Traveling solo as a young woman can feel daunting in a strange city. HostSG's Singpass verification for Singaporean hosts and live in-app GPS tracking made me feel completely protected. Priya was so warm and knowledgeable, showing me vintage Tiong Bahru cafes and hidden spiral stairs!"

"Visiting the Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay was on my bucket list. My guide was a certified botanist who explained how the vertical gardens work. Tapping 'Confirm Milestone' on the HostSG app each evening after completing our itinerary was effortless and transparent."

"Before HostSG, local hosts often worried about unpaid cancellations and no-shows. Now, travelers secure their milestone in escrow before the tour starts, and upon daily approval, payouts land directly in my DBS bank account. It lets me focus 100% on delivering incredible memories."

"HostSG creates genuine trust. Guests download the app, verify their country-specific ID, and can explore with confidence. I love introducing travelers to Peranakan beadwork and spice markets knowing both of us are fully protected by escrow."

"As an architect from London, I was obsessed with the Koon Seng Road shophouses. My guide Sarah didn't just point out facades; she explained the 1920s Peranakan tile imports and took me inside a private family ancestral courtyard. Releasing escrow after each milestone meant no awkward cash transactions."

"I booked Uncle Raymond for a deep dive into Chinatown's hidden tea traditions and medicinal herb stores. Being able to pay in INR with live currency conversion while the funds sat safely in Singapore escrow until our final tasting was pure peace of mind."
