The Valpas guide

Updated on 12th of June 2025

Welcome to Valpas

Thank you for choosing Valpas. Together, we’re about to make your hotel Valpas-certified bed bug-safe ensuring every guest, every stay, is protected.

This guide walks you through the full onboarding of the Valpas platform: from installing the patented in-room technology (smart legs), to connecting your hotel to the digital safety network, to using the Valpas mobile app and dashboard to keep your certification active. Each element plays a role in delivering visible, verified protection to your guests—24/7.

Let’s get started.

Step 1: Install the Valpas mobile app

Manage your hotel with the Valpas mobile app

The Valpas mobile app connects you to the Valpas platform, giving you a clear overview of room protection, guest room technology, and certification status, all in one place. You’ll receive notifications on your mobile phone when attention is needed, along with step-by-step guidance to carry out tasks safely and efficiently. To get started, download it and log in to your account.

Live status of the Valpas protection in your hotel and insights

The desktop dashboard is different from the mobile app. The Valpas mobile app is designed for frontline teams to resolve preventions in real time. In contrast, the desktop dashboard is primarily used by management staff to monitor live room status, track preventions, and review historical data and insights from the Valpas platform.
