What is the ideal check-out time for your listing?

Hello everyone! 😊

 

Check-in and check-out times are essential for providing our guests with an outstanding experience. In fact, some travelers choose our accommodations specifically because the timing aligns with their needs.

 

What check-out time do you offer? Are you flexible with this schedule? Have you made any adjustments based on guest feedback?

 

We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! What do you consider the best check-out time, and why?

 

Warm regards! 🦋

My rental is on Hilton Head Island.  Check-out time is 10:00a.  The reasoning is that cleaning companies require a 10:00a to 4:00p window to get all their units cleaned.  Once cleaned, I receive an email from the cleaning company that the task is complete.  If early in the day, I typically advise the incoming guests by email that they can check in earlier.

Best time for check in / check out 

 

 

15:00 / 11:00

 

i see this suites the guest and hosts best

From the perspective of the guest, best check-in time is as early as possible. Best check-out time is as late as possible.

 

Anyways, I'm rolling with 6PM check-in and 1PM check-out at the moment. I get a lot of requests for early check-in, but that's normal. No matter how early your check-in is, you will still get such requests. 

 

Advantage of 6PM check-in should be pretty obvious. If you get off work at 5PM, and can get home quickly, you can actually handle the cleaning yourself without issues. Ie. no need for a cleaning crew. 

@Zheng49  "From the perspective of the guest, best check-in time is as early as possible. Best check-out time is as late as possible." 

I've never heard of 6 pm, but it makes sense now. 

12 pm

Ideal for guest: depends on the guest!

 

Ideal for host: depends on the host needs...for me 1PM check-out works for me because we have late check-in as well. I also understand some guests like to sleep in!

Our check out time is 11 and we never had a problem with this. 

We did always have people asking us if they can check in earlier. This is dependent on Maribel who takes care of the house. 

Official check in time is 4. I asked her to notify the guests when the house is ready before 4. People usually always get a few extra hours. If the house is empty the night before, Maribel would let t hem in at 6AM...she is so kind. I had to be the mean one as usual and tell her not any earlier than. 1.

We're trying to be flexible and generous so we offer a noon checkout. We're also flexible if someone wants to stay longer; that hasn't happened yet though 😊
