Use access control for self check-in
Smart locks and code-based key boxes make self check-in simple and secure. With freeonlinebooking's smart lock integrations and automated emails, you can send guests their access codes at a date and time of your choosing. Owners can even change codes after every stay for added security. This is ideal for short-term rentals, late-night arrivals, and remote properties — cutting down on face-to-face handovers while giving guests a smooth, hassle-free experience. Better convenience means happier guests, more positive reviews, and more bookings.
