For hostel operators
Hostel management software that sells beds, not rooms
It does not need the same budget. The property management system (PMS) is free forever with unlimited beds, and the channel manager that puts you on Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia at once is €25 per month flat for properties with up to 9 beds.
Free PMS. No card required. Connect your channels yourself, in minutes.

Hostel
Small properties do not lose bookings for being small
A hostel sells beds, not whole rooms, and that is where manual updates break down: one dorm booked on one channel has to reduce availability everywhere else within the same minute.
Selling the same dorm twice costs more than a missed booking — it costs a guest standing in your doorway at midnight. That is a synchronisation problem, and it is what a channel manager exists to solve.
Hostel
What a large hotel has, and what you get
The gap between a chain hotel's commercial setup and a hostel's is smaller than it looks. These are the four pieces that matter.
What large hotels rely on What a hostel gets here
Distribution A channel manager syncing availability and rates across every booking channel The same channel manager, €25/month flat up to 9 beds
Operations A property management system for reservations, housekeeping and invoicing The same PMS, free forever, unlimited beds
Direct bookings A booking engine on their own website, commission-free Website & booking engine, €15/month

Questions hostel owners ask
Can it handle dorm beds rather than whole rooms?
Availability is synchronised across every connected channel in both directions, so a booking on one immediately reduces what the others can sell.
Is €25 per month realistic for a hostel?
Yes. The PMS is free with unlimited beds, and the channel manager is €25 a month flat for properties with up to 9 beds. Above that the price grows with how many beds you have, and the box in the pricing section shows exactly what yours would be.
How much does property management software cost for a small hostel?
The property management system is free with unlimited beds. The channel manager is €25 per month flat for properties with up to 9 beds. The Website & booking engine module is €15 per month. You can use the free PMS on its own indefinitely.
Is there really a free PMS, or is it a trial?
It is free forever, not a trial. The free plan includes reservations, the planner, guest management and invoicing, with no cap on the number of beds. Paid plans add distribution and direct booking, not the basics.
What is a channel manager, and does a 6-bed hostel need one?
A channel manager keeps your availability and rates identical across every booking site you sell on, in both directions: a booking on one channel immediately closes that bed everywhere else. A small property needs it more than a large one, because a single double-booking is a larger share of your month and you have no reservations team to catch it.
Can I connect Booking.com and Airbnb at the same time?
Yes. Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and Agoda can all be connected to the same property, alongside your own website and direct bookings. A booking on one channel immediately closes that bed on the others.
How long does setup take?
Connecting channels is self-service and takes minutes. There is no implementation project, no scheduled onboarding and no waiting on a technician.
Do I need technical skills?
No. Everything is done in the app. If you can manage your Booking.com extranet, you can connect a channel here.
What happens when I have more than 9 beds?
Up to 9 beds the channel manager is €25 a month, flat. Above that the price grows with how many you have: type your number into the box in the pricing section above and it shows exactly what you would pay. €25 stays the minimum, and paying yearly costs 10 × the monthly price.
Can I take direct bookings without paying commission?
Yes. The Basic plan adds the Website & booking engine module, so guests can reserve on your own site. Those reservations carry no channel commission.
Which countries is it available in?
Hoteliera is available across the EU and the interface is available in English, Romanian, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese and Hungarian. Additional local booking channels are available in some markets.

Start free and add distribution when your hostel needs it
The PMS costs nothing and has no limit on beds, so there is no commitment to evaluate. Add the channel manager the day you decide two channels are not enough.
