My property is a mix. Which solution should I pick?

You don't have to pick. A hostel with private rooms, a B&B with an apartment, or a hotel with a shared room all fit in one property in Areca.

Does the price depend on the property type?

No. Pricing is per unit for everyone: one private room or apartment, or four dorm beds, count as one unit. See the pricing page for details.

Can I manage several properties of different types?

Yes. Add each property to the same account, whether it is a hostel, a guesthouse, or a set of apartments, and switch between them in a click.

Can I try Areca before I decide?

Yes. Create an account for free, set up your rooms, and see how it works. Properties with up to two rooms or eight beds can stay on the Free Forever plan.

Solutions

Software that fits
your type of property

A hostel runs differently from a boutique hotel. A vacation rental portfolio has different needs than either. Areca is built around that reality, with the same core platform and features tailored to the way each property type actually works.
