How It Works

  1. Deposit your keys at your local Nest. It takes 30 seconds to create your KeyNest account and you’ll receive a drop-off code instantly. Then just bring your keys to the Nest, where we’ll attach a tracking fob and place them in our secure safe. If you bring them to an automatic locker then just enter the code and place them inside.
  2. Send the collection code to your guests. Share the Nest location and the unique 6-digit collection code with your guest. They’ll either give this code to the shopkeeper or enter the code at one of our automated lockers, and they’ll be able to take the keys away.
  3. Get notified every time your keys are collected or returned. Sit back and relax – we’ll let you know when your keys are collected or dropped off. Returning them is as easy as dropping them back at the locker or handing them back to the staff at our Nest.

We have three price plans that all feature online key tracking, 24/7 UK support and access to our network of 1500 stores. Just choose to be billed annually, monthly or per collection, depending on how often you’ll be using KeyNest.

KeyNest is a proud HostAssist partner of Airbnb. Thanks to our direct API integration with Airbnb, you can use your Airbnb account to manage keys at secure.keynest.com. You can check out the KeyNest HostAssist partner profile on the Airbnb website. Our clients are also welcome to use other OTAs like Booking.com as well as any PMS they wish to in order to liaise with their guests.

I was looking for a solution that allows me to avoid having to do personal check-in with Airbnb guests. A lot of buildings in Spain do not allow to have key boxes installed, so I was looking for alternative solutions. I am very happy that a solution such as KeyNest exists! It basically allows guests to pick up and drop-off their room keys from lockers conveniently placed across public places, such as gas station, convenient stores etc. It comes with an app which allows you to also track where your keys are.
