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.

The guest is standing outside when this matters

Lockbox instructions need to work under pressure: bad weather, low battery, dark entrance, tired guest. The guide should remove every small guess.

  • Exact location and physical opening steps stay together.
  • Photos support the text when the entrance is confusing.
  • Backup steps reduce panic if the box sticks or the code fails.
  • Fewer calls from guests standing at the entrance.
  • Clearer self check-in for late arrivals.
  • Less risk of keys being left in the wrong place.

No guest account. No app download. One mobile link guests can reopen.
