Check-In Experience Checklist

by Hichem BENTEBOULA, from the Community

This check-in experience checklist helps front desk teams deliver a consistent, guest-focused arrival. It covers professional demeanor, proper language, and verification of booking details using passport, QID, or Hayya Cards. Staff confirm guest name, stay length, room type, occupancy, and checkout time; explain housekeeping cycle; and highlight amenities like internet, gym, and pool, plus local area info. It prompts promotion of the Guest Service Console for maintenance, QR code scanning for welcome letter and house rules, discreet room number communication, clear directions, use of the guest’s name multiple times, proactive assistance, and a warm, sincere closing.
