NFC for Airbnb Hosts: Simplify Check-Ins

If you’re an Airbnb host, you know how important the check-in experience is. First impressions matter. But juggling late-night arrivals, forgotten key codes, or endless messages? That’s where NFC comes in. With one tap, your guests can access everything they need—smooth, fast, and stress-free.

What is NFC and Why Should Hosts Use It?

NFC (Near Field Communication) is the same technology behind contactless payments. With an NFC card or sticker, you can share a web link instantly—just by having your guest tap their phone. No scanning. No searching. Just tap and go.

For Airbnb hosts, it means fewer repetitive messages and better guest convenience. Whether you manage one flat or several listings, NFC saves you time and gives your guests a better first impression.

What Can You Link with NFC?

Here’s what smart Airbnb hosts are linking through NFC cards or stickers:

• Check-in instructions: Video or written guide on how to find the key or use the smart lock.
• Wi-Fi credentials: A page showing the network name and password.
• House rules: A short list of dos and don’ts.
• Local recommendations: Your favourite restaurants, cafés, or attractions nearby.
• Emergency contacts: Host number, building supervisor, or emergency services.

You can either link to a simple webpage, a Google Doc, or a digital profile using platforms like Tagify.

Where to Place Your NFC Tags

You don’t need to overthink it. Just place them where they’ll be noticed as soon as your guest arrives:

• Inside the front door
• On a welcome sign or frame
• Next to the Wi-Fi router
• On the fridge or coffee table
• Near the keys or lockbox

Tip: Use a clear label like “Tap your phone here for check-in info” so guests know what to do.

Why NFC is Better than Printed Sheets

• No waste: You don’t have to print out new welcome info every time something changes.
• Always updated: You can change the content of the link any time without changing the NFC card.
• Cleaner look: No paper clutter around your flat.
• Faster access: Guests don’t have to scroll through long Airbnb messages or PDFs.

How to Set It Up

1. Order your custom NFC card or sticker from Tagify.
2. Create a simple link with your welcome info (Google Doc, web page, or Tagify profile).
3. We’ll program the NFC card with that link before shipping it to you.
4. Place the card in your Airbnb, and your guests are ready to tap.

You don’t need to be technical. If you ever want to update the content, just log in and change the link behind the card—done in seconds.

Bonus: Add a Personal Touch

Some hosts go one step further by adding a short video: “Hi, I’m your host! Thanks for booking. Here’s how to get settled in.” This kind of welcome feels personal without needing to meet in person. And with NFC, it’s all just one tap away.

Final Thought

Airbnb is all about experience—and that starts with check-in. An NFC card makes that first moment easy and professional. No apps. No clutter. Just tap and relax.
