How WhatsApp Self Check-in works for hosts and guests.
What it does
Everything between a confirmed booking and a guest letting themselves in — handled for you, automatically.
Automated WhatsApp welcome
Your guest gets a friendly WhatsApp message ~24 hours before arrival with their secure check-in link — no app to download.
House rules, ID & consent
A per-property check-in page collects what you need: house rules acknowledged, photo ID uploaded, consent accepted.
Door code on completion
Door code, WiFi and directions are released only after the form is done — then reminders and a check-out message follow automatically.
How it works
Four automatic steps. Zero messages for you to send.
Booking lands
A new reservation hits your calendar and the guest gets an automated WhatsApp welcome ~24h before arrival.
Guest checks in
They open the per-property page, read the house rules, upload ID and accept consent — in their language.
Door code released
Once complete, the guest automatically receives their door code, WiFi password and directions.
Reminders & check-out
Stalling guests get gentle nudges; on departure day a check-out morning message goes out automatically.
Guest ID is deleted after check-out
Collecting ID is sensitive — so we don't hang on to it. Guest ID photos are encrypted at rest and automatically deleted 7 days after check-out. Nothing is kept longer than it needs to be.
That keeps you GDPR-friendly without having to store, secure or manually delete guest documents yourself.
Built for real hosts
Multilingual guests, multiple properties, every major platform.
English, French & Spanish
Guests check in confidently in their own language. More languages available on request.
Multi-property dashboard
Add a new property in under 90 seconds — each with its own house rules, door code and arrival info.
Any short-stay host
Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, holiday lets, serviced apartments, B&Bs and direct bookings — if you do short-term stays, it syncs from your calendar.
Simple per-property pricing
Pricing is reviewed annually and may be revised each year, with advance notice before any change takes effect. Where a service is billed monthly, you may cancel at any time, with or without reason. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate service in the event of misuse, breach of our terms, or non-payment. Full terms & conditions apply.
What is WhatsApp self check-in? Key terms in plain English
Quick, jargon-free definitions for UK short-term rental and Airbnb hosts.
- WhatsApp self check-in
- An automated guest arrival process delivered over WhatsApp. Before arrival the guest gets a secure link, reads the house rules, verifies their identity, and is then sent the door code, WiFi and directions automatically — no app to download and no host waiting up.
- Self check-in
- A way for short-term rental guests to access the property on their own — via a door code, smart lock or key box — without meeting the host in person. WhatsApp self check-in layers automated messaging, ID verification and timed code delivery on top of it.
- Guest ID verification
- A check where the guest uploads photo ID and accepts consent before the door code is released, so the host can confirm who is actually staying. Photos are encrypted at rest and automatically deleted 7 days after check-out to stay GDPR-friendly.
- Door code automation
- Automatically issuing the property's entry code or smart-lock PIN to a verified guest at the right time for their stay, then retiring it afterwards — removing manual messaging and reducing the risk of codes being shared or sent to the wrong guest.
