Guests check in without contacting host
“I manage 23 properties across three coastal towns. Before SwiftGuest, I was reconciling Airbnb and Vrbo calendars manually every morning. Now everything syncs automatically and my smart locks handle check-in. I reclaimed about 15 hours per week and stopped losing reservations to double bookings.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does SwiftGuest sync with Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com?
SwiftGuest connects to all major OTAs through Channex. Rates, availability, and reservations sync in both directions within two minutes. When a guest books on Airbnb, your calendar updates instantly across every other channel — no double bookings.
Can I manage 5, 50, or 500 properties from one account?
Yes. The multi-property calendar is the default view. Filter by region, tag, or owner group. Bulk-edit rates, minimum stay, and availability across any subset of your portfolio in seconds.
Which smart locks does SwiftGuest integrate with?
We support August, Yale Assure, Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, Igloohome, RemoteLock, Latch, Nuki, and Lockly. Unique entry codes generate per reservation and expire at checkout automatically.
How do cleaning fees and damage deposits work?
Cleaning fees can be flat, per-night, per-week, or scaled by party size — whatever matches your ops. Damage deposits can be a refundable authorization hold on the guest's card, or routed through Superhog / SafelyStay for professional damage coverage.
What does the automated guest guidebook include?
A branded digital guidebook delivered by SMS and email 24 hours before arrival. Includes check-in instructions, WiFi info, local recommendations, house rules, and checkout checklist. Fully editable per property with photos and embedded maps.
Can owners or co-hosts see their own properties without seeing mine?
Yes. Role-based access lets you invite owners, cleaners, and co-hosts with scoped permissions. Owners see only their units' calendar, revenue reports, and statements. Cleaners see only their assigned turnovers.
