Boost your hostel's online presence
People book for the vibe, not corporate jargon
Why are two guests fighting over the same bed?
Manual updates are the enemy. If you're still hopping between Booking.com, Airbnb, and your site to change prices and beds, you're inviting chaos. Here's the fix real hostels use:
- Sync everything automatically: change a price once and it updates everywhere—even Hostelworld at 3 a.m.
- Show some love to direct bookings: offer a better rate or perk without leaking commissions
- Keep pricing loose: stay competitive without triggering OTA penalties
Straight up: a 30-bed hostel in Prague wiped out double bookings and trimmed OTA commissions by £3k a month.
Why am I empty on Tuesday but oversold on Saturday?
Static pricing is for hotels. Hostels need guerrilla tactics:
- Festival surge pricing (think +£5 during Sziget)
- Last-minute discounts 24 hours before check-in
- Competitor tracking so you stay a couple quid under the neighbors
Result: a Budapest hostel filled 90% of sleepy Mondays with £1 pancake breakfast add-ons.
I spend more time in spreadsheets than with guests
Our dashboard gives you:
- Live bed maps so you can see which dorms still have space
- OTA vs. direct profit comparisons (spoiler: OTAs chew through ~£18 per day)
- Automated reminders that keep housekeeping, maintenance, and front desk in sync
No fluff guarantee: if you can order pizza online, you can run this dashboard.
