How to remotely manage your holiday home

The holiday home market has experienced a boom with the arrival of platforms that facilitate online bookings. This trend towards digitalisation continues to build bridges in the world of tourism; another clear example is remote access management.

This has meant a great qualitative leap for owners -who sometimes do not have full availability to travel to the rural house- and for guests, who can enter as soon as they arrive at the holiday home, without the need to wait. In this post we talk about the remote management of rural houses and all its advantages.

Advantages of remote management of a rural house


In addition to those mentioned above, these are some of the other advantages of being able to remotely control a holiday home:

  • Choice of opening method: our solutions for holiday homes allow different forms of access, usually code and Bluetooth with the Smartphone. Depending on the type of guests coming to your accommodation, you can provide them with one, the other or both. In addition, if you prefer to continue with the traditional opening with keys, you can use an electronic security key guard, which allows you to open a small box in which the guest will find the physical keys.
  • Permissions: the administrator controls permissions. For example, you can grant permissions in an instant to the cleaning service once the guest has left the accommodation.
  • Real-time management: online management allows you to delete, block or grant access at any time and from anywhere.
  • Access audits available: in the event of any problem, it is possible to access the audit of the accesses that have been carried out for each lock and for each user.
  • Access code management: code with personalised properties that can be deleted at any time.
  • Alerts: for maximum control by the owner, security and safety alerts are notified in real time.


Remote management step by step


Using a remote management system in rural houses is very easy, both for guests and for those responsible for the accommodation. This is how it works:

  • Confirmed booking: generates and sends the electronic key for opening with the mobile phone or the access code for the numeric keypad.
  • Stay: during the guests’ stay, the accommodation manager can cancel the keys or codes, as well as have access to the opening report.
  • End of stay: at the end of the stay, access is cancelled.
