Self check-in guide
Airbnb lockbox instructions guests can follow at the door
Lockbox instructions fail when guests cannot find the box, misunderstand the code, or do not know what to do if it sticks. Clear steps and photos prevent most of those messages.
What this solves
- Show the exact lockbox location.
- Explain the code and opening motion clearly.
- Add photos for the entrance, lockbox, and apartment door.
- Include backup help if the lockbox does not open.
Location is usually the problem
Guests often have the right code but cannot find the lockbox. Add landmarks, photos, and a precise description.
Explain the physical action
Some lockboxes need a pull, slide, reset button, or firm pressure. Say exactly what guests should do.
- Where the lockbox is mounted.
- How to enter and reset the code.
- How to remove and return keys.
- What to do if it is dark, stuck, or empty.

- Backup steps reduce panic if the box sticks or the code fails.
- Fewer calls from guests standing at the entrance.
