Late arrivals!!!

HI Maria,

Usually such a charge is only for Hotels or some Motels/B&B with multiple rooms, were you are paying staff. 

Its also more common in countries like America versus Europe.

I think its a cultural thing too.

Of course its entirely up to you.

You  might charge an extra eur25 for late arrivals. As to how you then accept payment, wil then be the next challenge, cash only or no cash, only card payment.

I would ask the questions is it worth the hassle of having to then take direct payment, if you do not already have a method for card payments. Or happy to take cash payments.

If I remember right you have a mobile internet service device,
that could be paired with a WiFi enabled PoS such as what SumUp offer.

Kind Regards.

I don't feel that charging is a good idea. You never know the reason (maybe it is because of the flight), so you enter in a bad mood with the guest on their first night.

We have a little safe for the keys right in the main entrance, I open all lights and text the guests so they know they can call if any issue. I did not have any call so far.

Then, next day in the morning I pass by to see them and make sure everything is alright.

I only charge if they want a super early checkin, or super late checkout.
