BookingCenter's Self Check-in System lets the Guest update Booking Details, Add Payment Methods, Cancel the booking and complete the Self Check-in process from their mobile device. The Self Check-in function is completed in MyBooking, our secure Guest PortaPortal. MyBooking is fully integrated with your PMS with synchronized status updates, customized messaging and digital document signing.

Once your site is enabled for Self Check-in,

Tthe the function is enabled for each booking in MyPMS and is seamlessly integrated with BookingCenter Customized Letters. To start the process, the Guest is sent (email and SMS) a customized "Check-in" with a secure link to MyBooking, the BookingCenter guest portal which allows the guest to view and update booking details and complete self check-in.

The secure link emailed to the Guest is unique to each Booking and, therefore will display the details specific to the that particular booking. The only exception to this is a multi-room booking under the same Guest Name with the same Arrival date. If a Guest has a multi-room booking, then all of the bookings will display when any of the self check-in links are clicked in any of the bookings. This gives the Guests the ability to view the details and check-in each booking.
