Great service and very easy to use, 5 minutes to it set up and the price is extremely cheap. My guests got the keys in a minute just walking to the local off licence. Highly recommended!

Game changer for Airbnb hosting
A game changer for me as an Airbnb Host. instead of constantly being tied to the flat my guests, my cleaners, the plumber and of course me have much more freedom to plan out work and other lives and not be dependent on other people's diaries.

Revolutionised our key system
We have been using Keynest Pro for the last year, and it has revolutionised our key system. It's relatively easy and self-explanatory, and allows us to keep tabs on all keys without relying on conducting a regular paper audit. By all staff having access to the app, any of us can quickly find out who has which key, eliminating time wasted on manually finding and tracking keys.
