Do you charge extra for early check-in?

Hi everyone,

 

When traveling, it's usually common for guests to encounter unexpected situations or change in plans. Whether it's a delayed flight, transportation issues, or arriving earlier than expected—these circumstances can leave guests needing a bit more flexibility with their check-in times. It can also affect the host's schedule, impacting the preparation or cleaning the listing for next guests.

 

So I'm curious! Have your guests ever requested an early check-in? How do you accommodate these situations? Do you charge an extra fee for early check-in?

 

We’d love to hear your insights!

As long as not half a day.  However, it depends on the circumstances also.  it is not one size fits all.

We accommodate early checkins if the place is clean and ready to go. We never charge extra. Sometimes people ask for it but generally we offer it (and late checkout) proactively and the guests really appreciate that.

I never charge extra for early check-in. Even sometimes situation is somebody has to checkout late and some guests wants to do early check-in for the same date/day.

And I always try to accommodate both.
