Frequently Asked Questions
Nope. HostelMate is a flat monthly fee. A lot of PMS platforms take a percentage of each booking or tack on per-reservation fees that add up fast, especially during peak season. We don't do that. You pay $19/month on Lite or $45/month on Advanced per property, and that's your bill regardless of how many bookings come in. If you're coming from a platform that charges per booking, you'll likely notice the savings pretty quickly.
The biggest day-to-day difference is around your finances and your team. Advanced gives you proper accounting tools, P&L reports, dynamic pricing rules, and the ability to set granular permissions per staff member — so your receptionist doesn't see what your accountant sees. You also get unlimited beds (Lite caps at 30), API access if you want to build custom integrations, and 24/7 live chat instead of email-only support. If you're running a larger property or just need tighter financial control, it's worth it.
There's a free trial — no commitment needed to get started. You can also check out the live demo before you even sign up, which lets you poke around the actual PMS interface without filling out a form. If you're on the fence about which plan makes sense for your property, the team will do a free call with you to figure it out.
It's included in both plans — no add-on fee. You get two-way sync with Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, and 100+ other OTAs right out of the box. Rates and availability update in real time, so you're not manually juggling multiple extranets or risking double bookings. The only exception: if you genuinely don't need a channel manager at all, you can reach out and they'll put together a different pricing arrangement for you.
