Using the digital lock

The door will become visible in the app on the day of arrival, just before the arrival time. If you are standing too far away from the door, the door number will be light red, and you will be unable to unlock the door. When the colour is bright red, the door can be unlocked. The door will remain visible until check-out time; it is important that the door is locked before then. If you are unable to lock the door, please contact us.
