Hostel software built
for beds, not just rooms

Bed-Level Inventory

Manage every bed, not just every room

Areca tracks individual beds within shared dorms, so you always know who is sleeping where. Assign specific beds at check-in, handle mixed-gender dorm rules, and avoid the double-booking headaches that generic hotel software ignores.

Hybrid Inventory

Private rooms and dorms, side by side

Most hostels offer both shared dorms and private rooms. Areca handles both in a single calendar view, so your front desk never has to switch between two systems or maintain separate spreadsheets.

Channel Distribution

Hostelworld, Booking.com, and more in sync

Connect your hostel to the major OTAs with automatic two-way sync. Availability and rates update instantly across every channel when a booking comes in, so overbookings become a thing of the past.

Everything a hostel front desk needs

Practical tools for busy hostel teams, from check-in rush to late-night walk-ins.

Per-Bed Tracking

Each bed in every dorm is a bookable unit. Know occupancy at the bed level, not just the room level.

Group Bookings

Handle groups of 10, 20, or 50 travelers without losing your mind. Assign beds across multiple dorms in a single reservation.

POS for Bars and Extras

Charge drinks, lockers, tours, or laundry directly to a guest's tab and settle everything at checkout.

Channel Manager

Sync availability and rates with Hostelworld, Booking.com, Airbnb, and 50+ other channels from one place.

Commission-Free Booking Engine

Take direct bookings through your own website and keep 100% of every reservation. No OTA fees, no middleman.

Housekeeping

Assign cleaning tasks per bed or room, track status in real time, and keep turnover times short between guests.

Multi-Language and Multi-Currency

Hostels attract international travelers. Areca handles multiple languages and currencies so your guests always feel at home.
