Fake IDs? Not in your apartments. Identity verification is evolving fast, and so are the tricks fraudsters use. That’s why we’ve taken guest verification one step further with Chekin’s Liveness Detection feature. What does it mean? 👉 It ensures that the person checking in is really there, not just a photo or a stolen ID. 👉 Guests are asked to perform a short face movement test, confirming they’re a live human being. 👉 Combined with our document verification, it makes digital check-ins more secure than ever. No more risks.Just smooth, compliant, and secure guest onboarding. 🔒 Protect your properties with Chekin

Forget to charge a guest the tourist tax and you still owe it. It comes out of your margin, not theirs. That's what makes this an operations problem rather than a tax one. And it's easy to get wrong, because the amount depends on five things at once: property type, location, season, the guest's age and the region's own rules. There's also a rule most people have never heard: if the guest pays in advance, the rate that applies is the one in force on the payment date, not the date of the stay. In a year when rates change mid-season, that alone can put you on the wrong side of a settlement. None of this is hard. It's just five moving parts per booking, multiplied by every property you manage, which is where spreadsheets quietly stop working. The full guide (in the link in comments) covers what decides the amount, who's exempt where, and how to have it calculated and charged at check-in instead: #TouristTax #PropertyManagement #Hospitality

Most properties treat upselling as a front-desk skill. It's a timing problem. The guest who would happily pay for an airport transfer decides that a week before arrival, not at the counter with a queue behind them. By the time your team can offer it, the decision is made, usually in someone else's favour. Chekin moves the offer to where the decision actually happens: inside the online check-in, then through the stay across WhatsApp, email and the OTA the guest booked on. Early check-in, late checkout, upgrades, breakfast, transfers, spa, tours, local activities, each surfaced when it's still relevant to that guest's trip. Across 10,000+ properties, 34% of guests add at least one extra and average revenue per property is up 62%. The rooms were already sold. This is the margin sitting on top of them. #Hospitality #RevenueManagement #Upselling

The guest journey changed. Most hotel operations didn't. Guests now arrive having done everything else on their phone, and then queue at a desk to hand over a passport. They expect the room upgrade to be offered before arrival, not suggested at the counter. They judge the stay on the two minutes at reception and the five at check-out. We put together an analysis for hotel directors and general managers on what that shift actually means operationally: → The trends redefining hospitality right now → Where hotels get stuck today — the points in the journey where the experience breaks → The opportunity at each stage, from check-in to check-out Free to download.

Guest identity verification has quietly moved from good practice to legal obligation. In Spain and Italy, every guest's details must reach the police authorities within hours of arrival. Several destinations now go further and ask for the identity itself to be checked at the moment of arrival, not from a document uploaded the week before. Chekin closes that gap in seconds: the guest's document is scanned and read with OCR, then matched against a live selfie with active liveness prompts and deepfake detection. 2,500+ document types across 150+ countries. For your team, it takes seconds. For an inspection, it's evidence. #Hospitality #ShortTermRentals #Compliance

Most guest messages don't get lost. They just arrive in a channel nobody was watching. WhatsApp, Email, SMS, phone, Airbnb, Booking... every property ends up with the same problem: the conversation is spread across five inboxes, and the context lives in a sixth place. The Chekin Unified Inbox brings all of it into one thread per guest, with the booking, documents and payment status right next to the conversation. Your whole team works from the same history, so nothing slips through the handover between shifts. One inbox for your team, one clear answer for your guests.

¿Estás pagando más IRPF del que te toca por tu alquiler vacacional? 💸 Cada gasto que no deduces (o que deduces mal) se traduce en impuestos de más. Y hay errores muy caros que se repiten cada año: ❌ Deducir el 100% de los gastos cuando la vivienda solo estuvo alquilada la mitad del año ❌ Aplicar la reducción del 60% del IRPF (no existe para el alquiler turístico, por mucho que lo hayas leído) ❌ Guardar tickets en vez de facturas nominativas: para Hacienda, ese gasto no existe En nuestra guía 2026 repasamos todos los gastos deducibles: intereses, suministros, comisiones de plataformas, software, amortización... y cuándo tributas como capital inmobiliario o como actividad económica. 📖 Guía completa en el link en comentarios #AlquilerVacacional #Fiscalidad #IRPF #PropertyManagement #Anfitriones

💡 Did you know? Hotels using digital check-in get up to 50% more 5-star reviews. ⭐ The reason is simpler than you'd think: most great reviews aren't about luxury, they're about ease. Guests remember how smooth their arrival felt, not the marble in the lobby. A queue-free, paperwork-free check-in sets the tone for the entire stay. And when the review invitation arrives at the right moment, satisfied guests actually respond. How much friction is your front desk adding to your guests' first impression? #HotelTech #GuestExperience #Hospitality #DigitalCheckin #HotelManagement #Automation

⚠️ La estafa más peligrosa del verano para los hoteles no empieza atacando a tus huéspedes. Empieza atacando TUS datos. El patrón es siempre el mismo: los ciberdelincuentes acceden a la base de datos del hotel, roban información real de las reservas y luego se hacen pasar por https://hubs.la/Q04rQdws0 (o por tu propio hotel) pidiendo a los huéspedes pagos urgentes a través de enlaces falsos. El huésped pierde su dinero. Tú pierdes su confianza, y tu reputación. En nuestro último artículo te contamos: ✅ Cómo funciona la estafa, paso a paso ✅ Las señales de alerta para detectarla a tiempo ✅ Cómo proteger tu alojamiento con una gestión segura de los datos de tus huéspedes, de principio a fin Encuentra el artículo completo en el enlace en comentarios #Ciberseguridad #TimosBooking #Hoteles #AlquilerVacacional #ProtecciónDeDatos #TravelTech #Chekin #Hospitality
