In recent times we have heard more and more about Self Check-In both for the organization of holiday homes and for other types of tourist accommodation. In reality, this type of automation has already been present for several years in some Business Hotels and Hostels.
Self Check-In allows, through special safety deposit boxes (or electronic systems), to access your room or home completely independently and without time constraints . A method so practical and intuitive that it has quickly gained the approval of the leisure category.
The Airbnb platform itself has been giving hosts the option to add the Self Check-In option for a few years now, and this is considered a real plus. While on the one hand, this operation limits the entire part dedicated to direct interaction between guest and owner, on the other, it gives the guest more freedom to conveniently choose when to arrive. Not to mention the last few years that have seen social distancing, alas, as a new formula for hospitality.
HOW KEYBOXES WORK
A key safe is a very effective option for self check-in that can be a real game changer in case of an emergency or a problem when a guest checks in. All you need to do is leave your keys inside the safe and set the combination, making sure to let your guests know the combination to allow entry to the property.
The information you will need to provide includes:
- Where is the key safe located (a slightly hidden location is recommended)
- How to use the safety deposit box
- What is the combination?
- How to return the keys upon check-out
