One platform. Zero headaches.

Every tool a hostel needs, built from scratch to work together seamlessly.

Tape Chart Calendar

Drag-and-drop visual calendar with bed-level precision. See every dorm, every bed, every booking at a glance. Drag to move or extend stays. Auto-detects overbookings.

Drag & Drop Overbooking Detection Week / 2-Week / Month OTA Source Badges

Guest Management

Full guest profiles with booking history, folio, payments, and notes. Email deduplication ensures no duplicate records from OTAs.

Payments & Invoicing

Stripe integration with deposit flows, payment plans, refunds, and automatic invoice generation. Accept cards, bank transfers, and cash.

Rates & Pricing

Flexible rate plans with seasonal pricing, promotions, promo codes, and gift cards. Set restrictions like minimum stay, close-to-arrival, and stop sell per date.

Room & Bed Setup

Configure dorms with individual beds, private rooms, and mixed types. Assign categories, amenities, and capacity. Rearrange anytime.

Housekeeping

Daily task lists, drag-to-reorder priority, staff assignments, and performance tracking. Your cleaners see exactly what needs doing.

Staff Scheduling

Shift templates, weekly schedules, and role-based access. 30+ granular permissions so volunteers see what they need, nothing more.

Finance & Treasury

Track every money source — cash registers, bank accounts, payment processors. Live balances, transaction history, and balance adjustments with full audit trails.

Marketing Tools

Brand monitoring, review aggregation, email intel, social tracking, and competitor analysis. Know what guests say about you everywhere.

Mobile First

Works perfectly on phone, tablet, and desktop. Same app everywhere — React Native means native performance, not a sluggish web wrapper.

Your guests are already
a community. Show them.

Other PMS systems treat guests as line items in a spreadsheet. Travel404 connects them. Invite guests to the app directly from the PMS — they see who else is staying, join activities, and start making friends before they even walk through the door.

One-tap invite from the PMS

Guest checks in? Send them an invite. They download the app, tap accept, and they're in your hostel's community instantly.

See who's staying right now

Guests can browse who else is at the hostel — where they're from, how long they're staying. Making the first "hey" a lot easier.

Activities & events, auto-filled

Pub crawl tonight? Surf lesson tomorrow? Post it once, guests sign up in the app. No more whiteboards that nobody reads.

Better reviews, higher retention

Guests who connect with others rate your hostel higher. It's not just software — it's what makes them come back and tell their friends.
