Hotel Software for Homestays & Guesthouses
Most homestay owners start with a WhatsApp group and a notebook. It works for a few months. Then you list on MakeMyTrip, Booking.com and Airbnb — and suddenly you have three inventories to keep in sync, three sets of guest contacts, and three different bills at tax time. Homestays don't need enterprise software. They need a light, affordable, mobile-first tool that handles the essentials without getting in the way.
A Notebook Works — Until You List on Three OTAs
For a 4-room homestay with direct-only bookings, a spreadsheet is fine. The moment you start listing on Booking.com, Airbnb and MakeMyTrip — which is most homestays today — you've got three separate inventories to keep synced. One mistake and the same room gets booked twice. One forgotten update and you're still accepting bookings for dates that should be blocked.
A proper homestay PMS handles that quietly in the background: updates your OTA listings automatically, keeps guest contacts in one database, and produces GST-compliant invoices that your CA can actually use. It runs on your phone — which matters when you're managing the property yourself.
Features Homestay Owners Actually Use
Only what you need — priced for properties under 20 keys. No per-user fees, no enterprise minimums, no setup fee.
Simple OTA Sync
Link your Booking.com, Airbnb, MakeMyTrip and Agoda listings. Rates and availability sync both ways — no more manually blocking dates on five platforms after each booking. See our channel manager for hotels in India.
Mobile-First
Manage your property from your phone. Add a guest, print a bill, check today's arrivals — from the local market, your living room, or the next state over.
GST-Compliant Bills
Homestays with GST registration get proper tax invoices with CGST/SGST/IGST splits. Our hotel billing software with GST handles it correctly.
Direct Booking Page
Even a simple homestay benefits from a direct booking link guests can share over WhatsApp. Zero commission with a payment gateway built in.
Guest Database That Stays Yours
OTAs do not give you the guest's real email. Your homestay software does — so you can message past guests during off-season with a direct discount.
No Staff Required
Designed so the owner runs it solo. Learn it in half a day. No IT person, no permanent front-desk staff, no complexity.

Pricing That Makes Sense for Small Properties
Priced specifically for properties under 20 keys. The ROI comes from two places: OTA commissions avoided through direct bookings, and hours saved not reconciling three inventory sheets every morning.
Commissions Saved on Direct Bookings
Every time a past guest rebooks via your direct link instead of the OTA that originally sent them, you save 15–25% in commission. That pays for the software many times over.
Hours Saved on Inventory Reconciliation
No more logging into Booking.com, Airbnb and MakeMyTrip every morning to check dates. The system keeps them in sync automatically.
Cleaner Guest Records for Off-Season Marketing
Your guest database — with real email addresses, not the OTA's masked ones — becomes the foundation of an off-season email or WhatsApp campaign that drives repeat bookings.
GST Filing Goes from Hours to Minutes
Auto-generated GSTR-1 ready reports. Hand to your CA, file, done.
