str market mapHosts who offer self check-in need guests to get in at any hour without a key handover, and each guest's access has to end when the stay ends. Replacing the door lock or rewiring the door is often not an option in a rented flat or a shared building.
Nuki Home Solutions makes retrofit smart locks that fit onto the existing door cylinder on the inside of the door. The range used for rentals includes the Nuki Smart Lock and Smart Lock Go, the Nuki Keypad, and the Nuki Bridge for internet connectivity. Smart Hosting is the paid service that links the locks to booking platforms and property management systems.
Smart Hosting creates an individual access permission for each booking, valid only for the length of the stay, and expires it automatically after check-out. Guests open the door with the Nuki app, a 6-digit code on the keypad or a web link. Built-in connections are set up in Nuki Web for Airbnb, Smoobu, Guesty, Smily and eviivo. Partner integrations run through the partner's own system, including Icnea, SabeeApp, RoomRaccoon, Beds24, Yaago, Duve, Chekin, Hostkit, Minut and Seam, and an API is available. Smart Hosting costs EUR 69 per year per Smart Lock with a 30-day free trial, and each lock needs its own package. It includes priority support, product replacement and an extended warranty. Businesses with more than 50 properties are referred to the sales team for a custom offer.
Vacation rental hosts and property managers who want automated self check-in on their existing doors, from a single apartment to portfolios of more than 50 properties.
