Online check-in for holiday cottages and rural accommodation

Collect details in advance and focus on welcoming guests

At a rural property, guest registration goes hand in hand with access instructions, arrival times and personal assistance. Preparing details before the journey lets you focus on answering questions and welcoming guests when they arrive.

iButlers online check-in can be part of that process while keeping the personal welcome. Decide what guests will do before travelling and what you will review with them on arrival.

Prepare your arrival process

1. Confirm the booking, the accommodation and who will be staying.
2. Send the registration link when the guest has an internet connection to complete it.
3. Review any outstanding information before the arrival time.
4. Arrange an alternative way to assist anyone who needs help registering.
5. Check the submission result and keep the relevant documentation.

The online form requires an internet connection. Do not assume it will be available at every stage: agree on how to continue assisting the guest if they cannot complete it.

Coordinate bookings from your channels

If you use a PMS or calendar, check how each cottage, room or unit is identified. Direct bookings also need to be included in your registration process.

Combine personal assistance with online preparation

Welcoming guests in person and having them complete the form in advance are compatible. The choice depends on how you work and the help each group needs.
