Self-Check-in for Hotels and Holiday Apartments – Fully Automated
Self-check-in, digital room keys and secure luggage storage – even without a 24/7 reception. PMS integrations for hotels, boarding houses and holiday apartments.
The Problem with Traditional Key Handover
The guest lands at 11 PM, the key depot is closed, arrival coordination didn't work out. For vacation rental owners, every handover means effort - especially with multiple properties. Automating the key handover is not a comfort question but an operational necessity.
Hotels without 24h reception face the same problem: who opens the door when no staff is present? Key boxes with number codes are insecure and unprofessional. And manually setting up vacation rental access for every guest doesn't scale.
The Solution: Self-Check-in with TIKI SHARE
Coordinating key handovers, putting guests off on the phone, driving to the property again in the evening - the classic check-in process ties up time and staff. The TIKI SHARE self-check-in solution puts an end to that. Your guest receives a digital room key via email and opens the door independently - without you needing to be on-site.
For the guest, the process is extremely simple: they receive a QR code via email, scan it with the smartphone camera, and open the door. No app installation, no account, no technical knowledge needed. The digital room key works on any smartphone with a camera.
How Digital Check-in Works with TIKI SHARE
The guest books online - TIKI SHARE automatically generates a time-limited access code and sends it via email or SMS. On arrival the guest opens the door independently via QR code or smartphone - no waiting, no calls, no key depot.
During the stay, the code is limited exactly to the booking period. At departure the guest checks out and access is automatically deactivated - no key needs to be returned, and you see in the dashboard when the guest left.

Access via Smartphone or QR Code - Linked to Digital Access Control
For tech-savvy guests, the hotel check-in app offers additional convenience: booking details, access code, and contact information in one place. Both options are linked to TIKI SHARE's digital access control and work on a time-limited basis - exactly for the booking period.
TIKI SHARE can also retrofit existing key boxes with smart locks. This way you digitize locations where a full lock replacement isn't possible.
Who Is Self-Check-in with TIKI SHARE For?
Boutique hotels and guesthouses without 24h reception benefit because guests arrive flexibly without waiting for staff - ideal for properties with limited staffing. Vacation rental owners get one platform for all properties - no more key handovers, no trips to the property, whether one or twenty apartments.
Apartment buildings and serviced apartments manage all access points centrally via one dashboard - different guests, different periods, everything automated.
