Hostel and bed management

Know what is happening in every bed right now

Buildings, floors, rooms and beds on one screen. Every bed has a clear status and every reservation is tied to a specific bed. No side spreadsheet needed.

Bunk beds in a shared room

You sell beds, not rooms

Hotel systems count the room as the unit. In a hostel one room has eight beds for eight people who do not know each other. So the platform starts from the bed.

Each bed sells on its own

A dorm with eight beds sells as eight separate reservations. Each guest gets a bed and a code.

Five beds booked and one on hold in an eight-bed dorm

Or the whole room

If a group wants the full room, book it whole and the system locks all its beds together.

A room booked whole for a group

Never both at once

If one bed in the room is booked, the room cannot be sold whole. And the other way round.

Whole-room booking blocked because beds are sold

Bed map

Three independent states per bed

A bed can be reserved for tonight and empty right now. It can be clean but under maintenance. So each state is stored on its own and never merged.

A bed shows as available only when it is in service, clean and has no reservation right now.

Bed calendar

Each row is a bed and each bar is a reservation. You see the gaps between stays and which beds fit the next group.

  • Double bookings are blocked in the database itself
  • A temporary hold keeps the bed until payment, then releases on its own
  • Book several beds for a group in one room or across rooms
  • Pin a monthly guest to a bed that does not change
  • Move a guest to another bed with the full history kept
  • Dates follow the property time zone, from check-in time to check-out time

Room types that fit your property

Types are defined as data. You can add a new type without changing the system.

Shared dorm
Several beds in one room, with bed count and bunk levels.
Female or male dorm
Set the room category and the system warns if a booking does not match.
Private room
One or two beds for one guest or a couple. Sold as one unit.
Capsules
Single sleeping pods in one room. Each pod has a code and a state.
