Check-in template
Airbnb check-in instructions template
Clear check-in instructions reduce arrival stress and prevent late-night messages. The goal is to give guests the right steps in the right order before they reach the door.
What this solves
- Explain exactly when and where guests can arrive.
- Separate parking, building access, and apartment access.
- Add backup instructions for lockbox or smart lock problems.
- Share a short message plus one full guide link.
Use the same order guests will follow
Guests are usually tired when they arrive. Put the instructions in the order they need them: address, parking, entrance, elevator, door, keys, and inside notes.
Make each step short
Long paragraphs are easy to miss. Use numbered steps and add photos for entrances, doors, lockboxes, and parking spots.
How CheckInLink helps
CheckInLink lets you keep check-in steps, codes, photos, maps, and backup notes in one mobile guide that guests can reopen at the door.

Made for late arrivals and tired guests
Good check-in instructions do not make guests interpret anything. They tell someone where to stand, what to press, what to open, and what to do if the first attempt fails.
- Step-by-step access notes stay in one mobile guide.
- Photos can support entrances, doors, lockboxes, and parking.
- Backup notes are available before the guest calls you.
- Reduce late-night arrival messages.
- Keep door codes, parking, and backup steps together.
- Let guests reopen the guide at the building entrance.
No guest account. No app download. One mobile link guests can reopen.

Frequently asked questions
Should I send check-in instructions in Airbnb messages?
Yes, but keep the message short and link to the full guide. Long instructions are easier to miss in a chat thread.

When should I send check-in instructions?
Send them early enough for planning, then repeat the link shortly before arrival.
