Checklists and inspections for hotels

Organise checks of rooms, public areas and back-of-house. Staff scan a QR code or NFC tag at the room or zone and complete the checklist on a phone.

The manager sees completed checks and reported defects without collecting notes at reception.

Step 1. Room inspection before guest check-in — you see the need for a hotel room check

Housekeeping checks without paper lists

Daily checks of rooms, bathrooms and public areas usually go onto printouts that end up in a binder.

Reported defects travel through a separate channel and are easily lost.

Varilo joins the checklist and the defect report in one place.

A QR code or NFC tag at the room or zone

Place the tag in a room, a plant room, by the pool or in the kitchen area.

Staff scan it and complete the right checklist without creating an account.

Housekeeping and the maintenance team use the same checklists on their phones. A room attendant reports a defect with a photo during the room inspection, and the technician sees it in the action log before the next guest checks in.

From checklist to report in a few simple steps

This is how an inspection runs in a hotel.

  1. 1

    Create the room or zone checklist

    Prepare points for housekeeping, public areas or a technical round.

  2. 2

    Tag the location

    Place a QR code or NFC tag in the room or space being checked.

  3. 3

    Staff run the check

    A scan opens the checklist and a defect can be documented with a photo straight away.

  4. 4

    Analyse the results

    Results, defects and room history stay available to the property manager.

Property results in one place

Reports and statistics show how checks run across the property:

  • number of checks in a chosen period,
  • rooms and zones with recurring defects,
  • history of a specific room,
  • photos attached to reports,
  • time and outcome of each check.

Start with one floor

Tag the rooms on a single floor and review the report after the first day of checks.
