Airbnb check in processes have evolved over the years. When Airbnb first launched it was normal to meet in person, exchange the key and show them the property. As the market evolved, bigger Airbnb Management companies developed keyless solutions and remote check ins to reduce costs. Due to Covid-19, all Airbnb hosts must now find a way to check guests in without any human contact.
Why Has Covid-19 Changed Airbnb Check In Processes?
Governments around the world have introduced social distancing measures to reduce the spread of the disease. Airbnb and Vacation Rentals must adapt to this new normal in order to survive. It is now normal for Airbnb property managers to publish on their OTA listings their covid-19 policy to reassure guests to drive bookings. Contactless Airbnb check in also reduces your costs in having Airbnb and increases profitability. The contactless check in is now something that all Airbnb hosts must arrange.
