Remote check-in for B&Bs and holiday homes

Say ciao to your host, then walk in.

CiaoHost gives your guests' phones the job of checking in: details and documents before arrival, a short video call at the door, the code to get in. You identify them from wherever you are.

Monthly subscription, cancel any time.

How it works

Check-in from both sides: the guest on their phone, you in the console.
