Rooms, beds, and extras in one booking

Guests add several rooms or dorm beds to a single reservation, pick a rate plan for each, and see extras, discounts, and taxes in the summary before they confirm.

Explore every feature

Browse by stage of the booking journey to find the tools that matter to you.

Ready-made templates

Start from a suggested template and fine-tune it, instead of designing your booking page from a blank screen.

Your logo and brand colors

Upload your logo and set primary, background, border, and font colors, so the booking page looks like part of your website.

Fonts, corners, and shadows

Pick separate heading and body fonts, then set corner rounding and card shadow, and check the result in a live preview.

Sell by room type

The default mode: guests choose a room type and Areca assigns a free room or dorm bed for them.

Or sell specific rooms and beds

Switch modes and guests pick the exact room they want. In dorms they can also choose their specific bed.

Dorm beds priced per bed

Shared rooms are sold as single beds with a per-bed price, right next to your private rooms in the same search results.

You decide what is bookable online

Choose which rooms, room types, and rate plans guests can see and book, and keep the rest for the front desk.

Photos, names, and descriptions

Add photos and give rooms, rate plans, and extras guest-friendly names and descriptions, separate from the internal ones your team uses.

Stay rules shown upfront

Minimum, maximum, and exact stay lengths are shown on each rate plan, so guests know the rules before they pick dates.

Extras & upsells

Offer breakfast, airport transfers, late checkout, and tours during the booking flow to boost revenue.

Coupon codes

Create percentage or fixed-amount codes and limit them by booking dates, stay dates, minimum nights, number of uses, or rate plan.

Your terms, accepted before booking

Add your house rules or cancellation terms and guests have to accept them before they can confirm a booking.

Custom texts & translations

Edit every label and message. Add your own translations for a fully localized guest experience.

Taxes shown before booking

City tax and accommodation tax are calculated for the whole cart and listed in the summary, so the total is no surprise at check-in.

Book now, pay on arrival

Guests reserve without entering a card and pay at your property. Online payments with Stripe and PayU are coming soon.

Website widget

Paste one snippet into your site as a horizontal bar or vertical panel, in a light, dark, or on-photo style. Guests land on the rooms available for their dates.

Direct link for social and email

No website? Share one link in your Instagram bio, Google profile, or emails and take bookings straight away.

Links that open a ready offer

Add dates, number of guests, or a coupon code to a link, and send guests straight to the stay you are promoting.
