Whether you’re an Airbnb host or a guest, you want to know that the space that you are renting out or staying in is totally secure.

After all, as an Airbnb host, you are inviting people you have never met into your home and as a guest, you are relying on a stranger to provide you with accommodation that meets your safety and security expectations.   And given that there are over 4.5 million Airbnb listings in 81 000 cities around the world, it’s hard to imagine just how many doors there are that need to be checked and secured!

If you’re an Airbnb host, the smart choice is to install WiFi-enabled smart locking systems on all of your property’s access doors.   And if you’re a guest, the wise option may be to select only those properties which offer smart locking access control.

These robust, reliable, easy-to-use and manageable systems provide hosts and guests with total peace of mind that the property is well-protected and secure at all times.   Electronic access control provides access to authorised personnel only so hosts have complete control over who is entering their property at all times.  In the same vein, guests are completely comfortable in terms of their safety and security when they stay in an Airbnb property that has smart locks.

Some smart locking products like the Wifi-enabled RemoteLock and ResortLock actually offer special partnerships with Airbnb hosts and the software can be directly integrated with the Airbnb booking system.  This means that arrivals can be monitored, reservations updated and guests provided with unique access codes for their stay – with convenient, hassle-free access 24/7.

Hosts can even be alerted when people unlock the door of the property, and with the use of temporary codes for employees or service personnel, hosts have complete control of monitoring and management of the locks on their properties.

The system can be used to remotely manage a single listing or multiple doors and properties.
