Why You Need Self Checkin For Your Airbnb

This is all the reasons why you need a self checkin process for your Airbnb and how you can accomplish this task.

A self checkin on Airbnb means a guest can access the listing with a smart lock, key lockbox, key, doorperson, or front desk any time after the designated check-in time on their arrival date.

For us, there are two things that make us stressed as an Airbnb guest. One is traveling to a new location, second is the check-in process. We have found hosts that allow us to use a self-check-in process to make us feel welcome faster.

With traveling, whether it’s flying or driving, the whole process can have unexpected turns for the worse. Sometimes flights will be late or canceled. Sometimes car emergencies or delays happen.

There are Airbnb hosts who need to meet their guests. We recommend doing this for security reasons and better reviews but give your guests one nights rest before meeting them. This way they will be refreshed and less anxious.

On average whether you are living at your Airbnb listing or a short distance away. The time consumed with traffic driving to your listing, communication with guests and guest checkin/walkthrough adds up. It’s even worse when you think about how short the checkin process really is. Providing a self checkin process voids the traffic and guest walkthroughs.

With self checkin for your Airbnb listing, you can live anywhere in the world and manage your Airbnb. All you need is the app to communicate with your guests (sending self checkin instructions). Furthermore, the checkin process takes far less time so you can focus on multiple listings or increasing your bookings.

If you are looking for simplicity, automating your Airbnb messages is key. For us, we copy and paste the majority of our messages from as soon as we get a booking, to after our guests first night sleep, to right after our guest checks out.

With self checkin, fast wifi, and a workspace for business travelers Airbnb gives you a “Work Trip” badge. With the badge, any Airbnb guest can filter there searches for work trips where the results include the workspace and wifi. If you qualify for the badge your listing receives more exposure and essentially more bookings.

From our personal experience, there is nothing worse than your Airbnb host watching over your every move. It makes any guest feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed. Giving your guest self checkin and letting them explore the place for themselves resembles trust which will increase your guest’s overall experience. In turn, it will help you get a better review.
