Hostel PMS in Mexico City
Run your hostel the way guests love it, and staff can actually keep up. Hostel Mate is the hostel‑first PMS with an integrated channel manager and booking engine. Built for beds and dorms, ready for MXN and CDMX lodging tax settings, and packed with simple tools to ride Mexico City’s demand spikes.
Built for hostels (not hotels)
Beds before rooms. Create and sell beds in mixed or female dorms, privates, or full‑room takeovers, all from a visual calendar your team understands in minutes.
Per-bed inventory & pricing
Control availability and rates by dorm, by night, or even by individual bed.
Smart overbooking protection
One calendar for all channels means you can stop worrying about double-booking.
Group bookings
Manage rooming lists and split payments for groups without the headache.
Housekeeping by bed
Track linen changes, turnover, and late check-outs for each bed.
Front-desk speed tools
Quick check-ins, key notes, and late arrival tracking to keep the front desk moving.
Reports that make sense
See your occupancy by bed/dorm, RevPAB, and pace reports that are easy to understand.
Localized for CDMX (MXN, IVA, ISH)
Set your rates in MXN, show guests transparent totals, and apply the taxes that matter in Mexico City.
IVA (VAT) 16%
The standard rate in Mexico. Configure it once and your invoices, folios, and reports stay consistent.
Impuesto sobre Hospedaje (CDMX lodging tax)
Handle both the 3.5% tax for hotel stays and the 5% tax for digital platform bookings, and report on them cleanly.
Regulations can change. We keep tax settings flexible so your accountant can adapt fast. (This is not tax advice.)
Sell more beds (Channel Manager + Booking Engine)
Everywhere your travelers are, without double‑selling. Sync rates and availability across your OTA mix (e.g., Hostelworld, Booking.com, and more), while your commission‑free booking engine converts direct traffic in MXN on mobile and desktop. Keep control of add‑ons (tours, lockers, breakfast) and upsells at checkout.
Real-time updates
Your availability is always in sync across all channels.
Flexible rate plans
Create different rate plans for your dorms and private rooms.
Promo codes
Drive more direct bookings with special offers and discounts.
Parity guardrails
Protect your margins with simple rules to maintain rate parity.

Use the Demand Calendar to:
