Argh! I’m locked out of our room and it’s past midnight!

Ever had that happen to you? Now, what if you add that to the fact that this room is the same one you booked through one of those online homestay and vacation rental platforms? Do I picture you pulling your hair out? Beating yourself up and getting frustrated? It’s definitely an unpleasant occurrence, especially when all you want to do is enjoy your vacation and have a memorable homestay experience.

Well, it would definitely be such a hassle and illogical to ring your host. Nobody likes to be interrupted at an ungodly hour.

Luckily, there’s a solution to that!

Keyless entry and exit is making waves in today’s market, just as the homestay market is high in demand. There are a variety of smart locks. Fine, I’ll be more specific – smart digital door locks.

One of the plus points of having these locks is that the presence of the host to let the tenant in or out of their room is no longer necessary. Of course, it always helps to have the host around, as it will also reflect on the host eventually. However, there are certain cases where the host is unavailable. This is where keyless entry and exit come in handy. One has to just key in the necessary electronically-generated details to safely enter and exit the premise.

Say, for example, you’ve misplaced your keys to your room that you’ve booked via Airbnb. It would definitely be time consuming to call your host to come and rescue you. Additionally, the host will most likely have to replace the lock. Such a hassle, isn’t it? Now that smart digital door locks are available, you don’t have to go through all of these!

If you’re looking for one that prides in reliability and convenience, Sciener may just be what you need. For the lock to work seamlessly with properties listed on Airbnb or any other homestay platform, both the host and guest need to have the Sciener app installed on their smartphones. Having an online account with Sciener is also a requirement. Once all that is done, PIN generation can be done with ease and at speed. Given that it is Bluetooth-enabled, PIN generation and transmission is possible without access to Wi-Fi, making it work to the advantage of those who have the tendency to mismanage their keys. With the provision of relevant and simple instructions along with the PIN validity period, guests will be assured of ease in interaction with the lock, enhancing their homestay experience. In the event that the guest’s phone dies, the host can verbally supply him or her with a separate passcode.
