Built by people who actually ran a hostel front desk
Dorm beds, Hostelworld sync, and a guest app that turns a dorm room into a group of friends — from founders who ran three hostels before writing a line of code.
We didn't come from hotel software. Co404 runs three hostel and coliving properties across Oaxaca, San Cristóbal and Medellín, with dorms, private rooms, volunteers on shift and a dinner every night. Every screen here exists because we needed it ourselves first.

Dorms, beds & mixed rooms
Set it up the way your hostel actually is
Configure dorms bed by bed, private rooms and mixed types in one property. Price per room, per bed, or flat — with extra-guest rules that fit how a hostel really sells a bed, not a room.
- Dorms, private & mixed room types
- Per-room, per-bed or flat pricing
- Flexible extra-guest pricing
- Amenities per room or per bed

What no other PMS has
A dorm room becomes a group of friends
Guests see who else is staying, where they're from, and how long they're around — before the awkward first hello by the lockers. This is why hostels exist, and it's the one thing hotel-built software never gets right.
- See who's checked in right now
- Guest profiles with home country
- Connect before arrival
- Private and safe by design

Run the team, not just the beds
Housekeeping, shifts and volunteers, handled
Hostel teams mix paid staff, long-term volunteers and someone's cousin helping out for the summer. Travel404 doesn't care which — it schedules and permissions all of them the same way.
-
Housekeeping, automatic
Cleaning lists generate straight from check-outs — nobody has to ask which rooms are dirty.
-
Staff and volunteers
The same rota and shift tools work whether someone is paid or trading work for a bed.
-
30+ permissions
A new volunteer sees their shift. A manager sees the whole property.

Reports & AI insights
Occupancy, ADR and pace — plus plain-language notes on what needs attention this week.

Common questions
Will this stop double-booking a dorm bed?
Yes — the tape chart works at bed level, and overbookings are flagged automatically before they become a problem.
Does it sync with Hostelworld?
Yes, along with Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb and 200+ more via Channex, in real time in both directions.
Can I run the front desk with volunteers instead of hiring staff?
Yes. Shift scheduling and permissions treat a volunteer like any other team member, at whatever access level you set.
What makes this different from a hotel PMS with a "hostel mode"?
It's built bed-first from day one — pricing, inventory and the tape chart all think in beds — and it ships the guest community app, which no hotel-built PMS has.
Is there a fee for direct bookings on our own website?
No. The booking engine is zero-commission, always.
