Breakfast & extras

Breakfast on the bill, without the maths

Add breakfast per person per night, or sell it as part of the rate. Picnic baskets, bike rental, or a late checkout go on the same bill, and tourist tax is added automatically.

Direct bookings

Let guests book on your website

Add a booking page in your own colors to your website, or share a link on Instagram and Google. Guests pick their room and extras, you pay no commission.

Booking.com and Airbnb without double bookings

Change a price or close a room once, and it is updated on every site you list on. When a booking comes in, the room closes everywhere else on its own.

Explore every feature

From the first booking to the last breakfast, see what Areca takes off your plate.

Know when guests arrive

Arrival times sit next to each name on the dashboard, so you can plan your afternoon around check-ins instead of waiting by the door.

Remember returning guests

Every stay is saved in the guest's profile. When someone comes back, you see when they last visited and which room they had.

Tags for special occasions

Mark a booking as anniversary, honeymoon, or regular guest, and the tag shows up when the guest arrives.

Notes that stay with the booking

Late arrival, gluten-free breakfast, a cot for the baby. Write it on the booking once and nobody has to remember it.

Confirmation email in your own words

Guests get a confirmation right after booking. Edit the text to include directions, parking tips, or how to find the key.

Breakfast priced per guest and night

Set breakfast once as a price per person per day, and Areca counts it for the whole stay, whatever the dates and party size.

Room only or with breakfast

Offer a breakfast-included rate next to room only, linked to the same base price so you change one number, not two.

Tomorrow's breakfast headcount

The arrivals, departures, and stayovers report shows how many guests sleep over each night, so you know how much to buy and bake.

Extras booked before arrival

Guests add breakfast, a picnic basket, bike rental, or a bottle of wine while booking, and it lands on their bill.

See what guests buy

The extras report shows which add-ons sell and how much they bring in, so you know what is worth offering.

Guests choose their room

Every room in a B&B is different. Let guests pick the Garden Room or the one with the sea view, with its own photos and description.

Pay on arrival

Guests book online without a card and settle up with you in person, the way many B&B guests prefer.

A thank-you code for regulars

Give returning guests a discount code for their next direct booking, instead of losing them to an OTA.

Two nights at weekends

Set a minimum stay for Fridays and Saturdays or for holidays, and it applies on your website and on every OTA.

Booking.com and Airbnb in sync

A room booked on one site closes on the others within seconds, so you never have to tell a guest you are full after all.

Tourist tax counted for you

Per person, per night, or a percentage of the price, with children exempt where your town allows it. The amount appears on every bill.

Invoices when guests ask

Create an invoice from the booking in a couple of clicks, with the stay, extras, and tax already filled in.

Nothing left unpaid

Each booking shows what was paid and what is still due, and the payments report lists every open balance.

How the season went

Occupancy, average price per night, and revenue by month, plus which sites your guests booked through.

Made for a team of one or two

No front desk, no IT person, no training budget. Areca is built for that.

Nothing to install

Areca runs in the browser on your laptop or tablet. No servers, no updates to download, no backups to remember.

Free for two rooms

Renting out one or two rooms? The Free Forever plan covers the calendar and the booking engine at no cost.

Speaks your guests' language

Your booking page is available in 7 languages, with prices shown in the guest's own currency.

Access for a helper

Give a family member or a seasonal helper their own login that shows bookings but keeps the money side private.

Summer and winter prices

Set your seasons once a year and the right price applies on its own, on your website and on the OTAs.

A real person to ask

Frequently asked questions

No. You only switch on what you need, and with up to two rooms you can use the Free Forever plan. Many B&Bs start with just the calendar and the booking page, and connect OTAs later.
