Most hotel management systems start from one idea: one booking, one room, one payment. A hostel or group house works differently.
We compare kinds of software, not brands: every product is different and some hotel systems have adapted more than others.
| Typical hotel software | HostelOp | |
|---|---|---|
| What you sell | The whole room | Beds in shared rooms, with or without an assigned room |
| Groups | Often several bookings linked by hand | One booking across several rooms and spaces, with counters by age |
| Payment | Payment or card guarantee at booking | Instant or on-request booking, with deposits in several instalments, each with its own link |
| Meals | Breakfast as an add-on | Full board, half board, B&B or self-catering, per person |
| Customer types | Rates per channel or promo code | Your own profiles (school, youth group, individual) with rates, meal plans and extras |
| Shared spaces | Not managed | Common rooms, dining halls and shared bathrooms you can assign to a booking |
| Guest registration | Often a separate module or service | Included: Mossos file in Catalonia and SES.Hospedajes elsewhere in Spain |
| Cost | Per-room fee or per-booking commission, depending on the product | Fixed fee, no commission per booking |
If your property mainly sells private rooms to individual guests, and most bookings come from external booking sites, hotel software with a channel manager may be what you need. HostelOp doesn't connect to booking sites: it's built for bookings that come through your own website, email or phone.
It can, but it often means workarounds: one booking per bed, deposits tracked outside the system, or guest registration somewhere else.
No. HostelOp is your website's booking engine and management dashboard. Bookings from other channels can be entered by hand.
HostelOp has a fixed fee and a 10-day trial. We do the initial setup together with you.
