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! 🦋

Hello Paula 

actually checking out 11 checking in after three it’s for me works well but some people checking out before 10 o’clock. I think this is too early.

Hello @Elaine1083, thank you for your reply!

 

Do you change the checkout time often? What made you set it to 10:00 a.m.? Was it based on guest feedback?

Our check out time is 11:00am and if they stay later it costs a small fee because we have to take our linens off site to clean.

Hi @Hora202, thank you for joining the conversation!

 

Do most of your guests request to stay past 11:00 a.m.?

Our check in time is 5pm and check out time is 11am.  ( location Falcarragh, Ireland)

Most guests check in between 6.30pm  and 8.00pm and check out around 9am. 

Our listing is Rural but with beautiful views of the Mountains and a lot of our guests are Hikers/Walkers  and Landscape Photographers and these guests tend to check in as late as possible and check out early on their departure date. 

On the rare occasions some guests might request an early check in, (they  might be attending a wedding or local event), and we do accommodate these requests.

The 11am check out time allows us to do a turnover before the next guests check in.

Our checkout time is 11:00 a.m.  We sometimes alter based on guest request but not very often are we even asked.

Hello @Felicia257, this is interesting as many hosts have mentione here that guests usually request some flexibility.

 

Have you always offered the same checkout time, or have you adjusted it based on guest feedback?

 

Keep us posted.

My checkout time is 11am.  It’s an ideal time if I have a quick turn around for the next check in (3pm) and need some extra attention during cleaning or maybe some maintenance.  I try to be reasonable for my guests and myself.

11 AM is ideal and pretty standard. It leaves enough time to cleanup for a same day 3 PM check-in.
