Universal online check-in

One check-in link for every booking

Share the same link with every guest of a property. They locate their booking, fill in their details and sign from their phone — no app to download.

A single link for every guest — whether the booking is already created or still pending to register.

  • One permanent link per property
  • No apps, no installs
  • Connected to SES Hospedajes

A simpler way to share the check-in

What is the universal online check-in?

Every booking can already have its own registration link. With the universal online check-in you can also use a fixed link for each property and share the very same address with all of your guests.

When the traveller opens the link, the system asks for the details needed to locate an existing booking. Once identified, they can enter guest information and sign from their phone.

How it works

From booking to completed check-in

  1. 01

    Create or import the booking

    Add the booking manually or import it via iCal from Airbnb, Booking, VRBO, Avaibook or any compatible platform.

  2. 02

    Share the universal link

    Always send the same link for that property, with no need to look up an individual booking link.

  3. 03

    The guest identifies the booking

    The traveller fills in the requested details so the form can locate their booking securely.

  4. 04

    Guests complete details and signatures

    Each guest adds the required data and signs digitally from their phone.

  5. 05

    You submit the report from your panel

    From your panel, you review the information and submit the traveller report to SES Hospedajes with the usual Checkin Vacacional flow.

Bookings not yet created

Booking not created yet? No problem

If you enable the option “Allow check-in even if the booking is not found”, guests can complete their details and signatures from the universal link even when the system cannot match an existing booking.

The check-in is saved under “Check-in requests”, pending your review. From there, you can check the information and continue managing it.

This way, you can always share the same link and receive guest data, even if the booking has not been created or imported into the platform yet.

  1. 1

    The guest opens the universal link

    They enter their booking ID or surname so the system can try to locate the booking.

  2. 2

    They complete the check-in

    If no booking is found, they can still enter their details and signatures.

  3. 3

    You review the request

    The check-in shows up under “Check-in requests” for you to review and manage.

Always at hand

Share the link wherever you need it

Booking and other OTA messages

Add the link to confirmation messages or pre-arrival instructions.

Airbnb

Send it to guests through the channels that the platform allows.

WhatsApp

Keep the link handy and send it as soon as you confirm a booking or before arrival.

Email

Add it to your welcome or booking-confirmation templates.

Website

Publish a “Check in” button on your property website.

QR code

Turn the link into a QR code and share it digitally or place it inside the property.

Two ways to share the registration

Pick the link that fits each situation

Individual link per booking

  • Generated specifically for one booking.
  • You can send it directly to the lead guest.
  • The guest lands straight on the matching form.
  • Ideal for personalised communications.
New

Universal link per property

  • Always the same for a given property.
  • Perfect to keep in automated messages and templates.
  • The guest identifies their booking first.
  • Great for OTAs, PMS, channel managers, websites and QR codes.

Both options lead to the same traveller-registration process. Use individual links, the universal link, or combine both — whatever fits your workflow.

Less manual work

Why use a universal link?

No more chasing individual links

Keep one address per property and reuse it for every booking.

Ready for automation

Drop the link into auto-replies, welcome messages and communication templates.

Nothing slips through

Check-ins with no matching booking are stored under “Check-in requests”, waiting for you to review them.

Works on any device

Travellers can fill in their details and sign from a phone, tablet or computer.

Booking import

Combine it with iCal sync

Connect the iCal calendar of Airbnb, Booking, VRBO, Avaibook or any compatible platform to import booking dates. After reviewing and completing the required data, your guests can locate their booking using the property's universal link.

iCal import does not automatically submit the booking to SES Hospedajes. You need to review the data and send it from Checkin Vacacional.

Bookings correctly matched

An open link, a controlled process

Even though the link can be shared publicly or embedded in a QR code, every check-in is tied to its property. When the traveller submits their data, the system tries to match an existing booking and, if it cannot find one, stores the check-in as pending review.

This helps you avoid duplicate registrations, wrong bookings or data from people who have no stay associated.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the universal check-in

Is it the same link for every guest?

Yes. Each property has its own universal link that you can share with the guests of every booking.

Does the guest need an existing booking?

Not necessarily. If you enable “Allow check-in even if the booking is not found”, guests can complete their details and signatures from the universal link even when no matching booking exists. The check-in is saved under “Check-in requests”, pending your review.

Can I keep using individual links?

Yes. You can still send the specific link for a booking or use the property's universal link.

Do guests have to install an app?

No. The form opens directly in the browser and can be completed from a phone, tablet or computer.

Can I place it on my website?

Yes. You can add a check-in button on your property's site pointing to the matching universal link.

Can I use it as a QR code?

Yes. You can turn the link into a QR code and share it digitally or place it physically in the property.

Is the check-in submitted to SES Hospedajes automatically?

No. When guests finish registering, you review the information from your panel and submit the traveller report to SES Hospedajes.

Does every property have a different link?

Yes. Every property configured in Checkin Vacacional has its own universal link, so bookings from different properties never mix.
