Online Check-in - How to Connect to Alloggiati Web
Overview
In Italy, all accommodation providers must report guest information to local police within 24 hours of arrival. Holidu's online check-in feature helps you meet these legal requirements efficiently by automating data collection and simplifying the reporting process to Alloggiati Web.
Legal Requirements for Guest Registration in Italy
Under Article 109 of the Consolidated Law on Public Security, all accommodation providers—including holiday rental hosts—must comply with guest registration requirements. If a stay is shorter than 24 hours, guest details must be communicated upon arrival. For stays of 24 hours or longer, information must be reported within 24 hours of arrival.
Required Guest Information
For each booking, you must collect and report the following details from the main guest:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Nationality
- Passport or ID number
- Date of arrival
- Place of birth
Additional guests must provide basic personal information (full name, date of birth, and nationality), but document numbers are not required.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Failure to report guest information may result in significant penalties, including fines or imprisonment. Connecting your property to Alloggiati Web helps you avoid these risks.

Important Notes About Your Web Service Key
- You can only generate one new Web Service key per day
- Every time you change your Alloggiati Web password, you must update the Web Service key in Holidu as well
- For additional guidance, refer to the Alloggiati Web Manual (page 28)
Data Transmission Timing
Once your property is connected to Alloggiati Web, guest data is automatically transmitted at the following times:
- One-night stays: Data is transmitted at 11:00 PM on the check-in date
- Stays of two nights or more: Data is transmitted at 11:00 PM on the day after check-in
This automatic timing ensures your guest information reaches the authorities within the required timeframes specified by Italian law.
Guest Information and Document Verification
Document Requirements
In compliance with Italian law, you must verify guest identification in person at check-in. Only the main guest needs to provide their ID document type and number. Additional guests must provide basic personal information only.
Your Guestbook
Your guestbook will display complete document information for only one guest per booking. Document fields for additional guests will appear as empty, which is normal and compliant with regulations. You can download your guestbook for records at any time through the Holidu platform.
