Do you charge extra for early check-in?

[Bhumika]

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!

We rarely get these requests. We do our best to accommodate, whenever possible; however, we cannot accommodate a request for many hours early, and it all depends on the situation. We do not charge for early check in. If we decide to allow it, it is as a courtesy, a gift.

@Bhumika . No charge. But its something I may offer on the morning of check in if we are ready to go.  I have offered it for families with young children needing their afternoon nap a little earlier, and was gratefully accepted.

I figure I am not a hotel so guests aren't paying by the hour to stay. 😉

Hello @Bhumika @Andrea6232 

Exactly the same as Andrea😊 Never charge and always happy to offer it if I don't have a back to back booking.  Even if they don't need it, they always appreciate the gesture.
