Everything in one platform

From booking confirmation to checkout, fully automated

Replace 5+ separate tools with a single platform built for hospitality operators.

Online & onsite check-in

Guests complete a branded, mobile-first check-in before arrival. Or scan documents on-site with OCR.

Biometric ID verification

Live selfie match against passport or ID photo. Spot fake bookings and stop bad-actor stays.

Damage protection & deposits

Collect refundable deposits or property damage protection during check-in. Reduce disputes, recover real costs.

Smart-lock & remote access

Send virtual keys after ID verification. No more key handovers, no more 2am phone calls.

Upselling & online payments

Sell early check-in, late checkout, transfers, eSIM data, walking tours and curated experiences. Earn commission on every booking.

AI guest inbox

Unified inbox for Airbnb, Booking.com, WhatsApp and email, with AI replies in any language.

Branded guest app

White-label the entire experience with your logo, colours and domain. Build direct booking relationships.

Digital contracts & e-signature

Custom rental agreements signed during check-in. GDPR-compliant storage, audit trail included.

50+ PMS integrations

Two-way sync with Hostaway, Guesty, Lodgify, Cloudbeds, Smoobu, Mews and 45+ more.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

Set up in under 24 hours. Your guests check themselves in from day one.

1

Connect your PMS

Plug Chekin into your existing PMS or channel manager in minutes. Reservations sync automatically.

2

Guests check in online

Each guest gets a branded check-in link. They verify ID, sign contracts and pay before they arrive.

3

You sleep at night

Verified guests, signed agreements, paid deposits. Everything stored securely and GDPR-compliant.

Built for UK operators

Protect your property, your reviews and your bottom line.

UK short-let and hotel operators face three constant pressures: fake bookings and party houses, rising operating costs, and the patchwork of local registration schemes from Scotland to Greater London.

  • Stop party houses before they happen. Biometric ID match + booking pattern checks flag risky guests at check-in, not after the police arrive.
  • Turn check-in into a revenue channel. Boost revenue per booking by more than 60% with personalised upsells: early arrivals, late checkouts, transfers, eSIM data, walking tours and curated local experiences.
  • Stay ready for short-let registration. From Scotland's STL licensing to England's planned scheme, Chekin keeps every guest record audit-ready and GDPR-compliant.
  • Get your evenings back. No more 11pm "I can't find the key" calls. Verified guests get virtual keys the moment they're cleared.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Will Chekin work with my UK PMS or channel manager?
Almost certainly. Chekin has 50+ native integrations including Hostaway, Guesty, Lodgify, Cloudbeds, Smoobu, Mews, Octorate and many more. Reservations sync both ways automatically, no manual data entry.
Does Chekin help with UK short-term let registration schemes?
Yes. Chekin captures and stores guest data, IDs, signed contracts and stay details in a GDPR-compliant audit trail. This makes it straightforward to comply with Scotland's STL licensing, Northern Ireland's certification rules and the planned short-term let registration scheme for England.
How does ID verification stop party bookings?
Every guest uploads a government ID and a live selfie. Our biometric engine matches them in real time and flags mismatches, fake documents, and bookings where the guest details don't match the booker. You decide whether to approve, request more info or cancel before keys are released.
How long does setup take?
Most properties go live within 24 hours. Your onboarding specialist configures your account, connects your PMS, sets up your branding, and trains your team on a single 30-minute call.
How much does Chekin cost?
Pricing is per active property and scales with the modules you need (check-in, ID verification, smart locks, deposits, etc.). Volume discounts apply from 10+ properties. Start your free trial to explore the platform with no commitment.
Is guest data stored securely and GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Chekin is fully GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and stores all guest data encrypted in EU data centres. We never sell guest data or use it for anything beyond providing the service.
Can I collect damage deposits and add-on charges?
Yes. Chekin centralises online payments for refundable deposits, optional damage protection, and any custom charges (early check-in, late checkout, transfers, experiences) at any point before, during or after the stay. Payouts go directly to your Chekin account.
