Trust & Safety

How trust works on Lunavia

Every user earns a Trust Score and Reliability Score based on real performance data — not marketing promises. Here's exactly how they work.

🛡️

Trust Score

A 0–100 score reflecting your overall platform reputation. Combines your verification status, performance history, financial behavior, and compliance. Operators and guides have different formulas tailored to their roles.

Affects visibility, matching priority, and feature access
📊

Reliability Score

A percentage-based score (0–100%) tracking your dependability. Primarily measures cancellation behavior, no-shows, and deadline adherence. Drops sharply for late cancellations and recovers slowly through consistent performance.

Affects tour application acceptance and account standing
For Operators

Operator Trust Score

Your trust score is the sum of four positive components minus any penalties. Maximum score is 90 (Licensed), 70 (Agency), or 50 (Sole Proprietor).

Trust = Legal Base + Compliance + Performance + Financial − Penalties
Legal Base (10–30 pts)
  • Licensed Company: 30 points
  • Travel Agency: 20 points
  • Sole Proprietor: 10 points
Compliance (0–20 pts)
  • Gold compliance: 20 points
  • Standard: 10 points
  • Probation: 0 points
Performance (0–25 pts)

Based on your tour completion rate. Needs at least 3 tours for meaningful data. New operators start with 12 points (neutral).

Financial Behavior (0–15 pts)

Based on clean payment history. Disputes reduce your score. Clean record = full 15 points. New operators start with 8 points.

⚠️ Penalty Deductions

Penalties are subtracted from your score. Each type is capped at 30 points, and total penalties are capped at 40 to prevent a single incident from destroying your reputation.

Operational Penalties
Late cancellations, no-shows, tour mismanagement
Financial Penalties
Payment disputes, escrow violations, suspicious transfers
Risk Penalties
Policy violations, compliance issues, flagged behavior
For Guides

Guide Trust Score

Guides are individuals — no legal base or compliance component. Your score is built entirely from how you perform.

Trust = Base (30) + Completion + Rating + Reliability − Penalties
Base Score: 30 pts

Every guide starts with 30 points upon registration. This is your starting foundation.

Completion Rate (0–30 pts)

Tours completed vs total assigned. Need at least 3 tours for scoring. 100% completion = 30 points.

Rating Score (0–25 pts)

Average operator rating (1–5 stars) converted to points. 5 stars = 25 points. Needs at least 3 ratings.

Reliability (0–15 pts)

Starts at 15. Each no-show costs −5 pts. Each late cancellation costs −3 pts. Based on last 90 days.

Both Operators & Guides

Reliability Score

Your reliability score starts at 100% and reflects how dependable you are. It's separate from Trust Score and focus specifically on cancellation and commitment behavior.

What affects your Reliability Score

🚨
Late Cancellation (within 48h of departure)
−15 points + temporary search ranking drop
The most penalized behavior. Canceling close to departure leaves operators scrambling to find replacements.
No-Show
−25 points + severe ranking penalty
Not showing up to an assigned tour is the most serious offense. Multiple no-shows may result in account suspension.
⚠️
Incident Reports (confirmed against you)
−3 to −10 points depending on severity
Minor issues: −3pts. Moderate: −10pts. Severe: −25pts. Only deducted after investigation confirms fault.
Tour Completion
Score recovers gradually
Every completed tour improves your reliability. Consistency is rewarded — your score recovers over time through good behavior.

Guide Pro subscription₫149K/mo

Trust Decay & Recovery

Trust isn't static. Inactive accounts gradually lose trust score, while active users maintain and grow theirs.

Inactivity Decay
Accounts inactive for extended periods see gradual trust score reduction. This ensures active, engaged users rank higher.
📈
Recovery Through Activity
Complete tours, maintain clean payments, and avoid cancellations. Your score will recover and grow over time.
🔒
Penalty Caps
Individual penalties are capped (max 30 each, total max 40). One bad day won't destroy years of good reputation.

How Trust Affects Matching

When operators search for guides or the system ranks applicants, trust plays a major role.

Match Score = Reliability × 60% + Trust × 40%
60%
Reliability Score
Dependability is weighted highest because operators need guides who show up and don't cancel.
40%
Trust Score
Overall platform reputation, including ratings, completion history, and verification status.
