As a property host, you can make them more comfortable by replacing in-person experiences and physical objects with digital ones. Investing in a smart lock will save you time and energy, allow for flexibility, and ensure that your guests feel safe and secure during their visit.Since COVID-19 hit, many Airbnb guests are worried about staying safe from the virus. The lock will also notify your phone when the battery is running low. Additionally, you can program the smart lock to automatically lock the door when closed so you don’t have to worry about guests forgetting to lock up. This means that if the power goes out, or if your property loses internet, guests can still enter your rental. This lock is a step above the rest because it can save guest codes with check-in and check-out times. This lock is extremely reliable, easy to use, and integrates perfectly with Host Tools. Our favorite is the August Yale Keypad lock. There are lots of Smart Locks out there so it can be overwhelming to choose the perfect one. However, the new time must be within twelve hours of the original check-in or check-out period. If you have an early guest arrival or late departure you can manually edit the time the lock code will work from within the August app. The “Guest’s Lock Code” tag will then appear within the message.Įach guest’s code will only work after a guest’s check-in and until their check-out. Select “Insert Tags.” at the bottom of the “Message” square, and choose “Guest’s Lock Code”.Ħ.

How to automate your guest’s code by creating a message rule:ġ. You can easily communicate the guest’s code by including it in the automated messages Host Tools sends on your behalf. This provides security to both you and your guests knowing that no past code can be used during their stay.

Host Tools automatically generates a unique code for each guest using the last four digits of their phone number. Host Tools manages your smart lock, from setting codes and making them active only during a guest’s stay, to sending instructions and codes to your guests.
