What a hostel needs and hotel software lacks

A hostel doesn't sell rooms: it sells beds. And its biggest customers are groups that book months ahead and pay in parts.

Beds, not just rooms

Shared rooms with their capacity. Assign them automatically, or leave bookings without a room so they only take beds from the total.

Deposits in instalments

One or more instalments per booking, each with its own amount, due date and payment link. Unpaid bookings cancel themselves and notify you.

Meal plans

Full board, half board, bed and breakfast or self-catering, priced per person per night. "Price on request" too.

Customer types

Individuals, schools or youth groups, each with their own rates, meal plans and extras. Guests pick their profile before seeing prices.

Online check-in

Guests fill in their details on their phone before arriving, in Catalan, Spanish or English.

Guest registration

The Mossos d'Esquadra file in Catalonia and automatic SES.Hospedajes submissions elsewhere in Spain.

Frequently asked questions

Does HostelOp charge a commission per booking?

No. You pay a fixed monthly or yearly fee, and guest payments go straight to your own bank's card terminal.

Can I handle large groups across several rooms?

Yes. A booking can take several rooms and spaces such as common rooms or shared bathrooms, or stay unassigned and only take beds until you allocate it.

Does it work for hostels outside Catalonia?

Yes. In Catalonia it generates the Mossos file, and elsewhere in Spain it sends guest reports to SES.Hospedajes.

How long does it take to get started?

You can try it free for 10 days. Onboarding is hands-on: we set it up with your rooms, rates and meal plans and train your team.
