Modern Booking System for Hostels – Built for Direct Bookings & Conversion

Hey everyone,

I built Dayletus after seeing how expensive and overcomplicated most booking systems are for small hostel and B&B owners who want to capture direct bookings.

What It Does

Multi-Room Management:

1. Manage individual rooms or dorms with separate availability, pricing, and images
2. Guests can book multiple rooms in one reservation
3. Each room gets its own embeddable booking widget

Conversion-Optimized Booking Flow:

1. Guided checkout: Dates → Guests → Details → Address → Extras → Confirm
2. Real-time price breakdown with seasonal adjustments and add-ons
3. Mobile-first design, bilingual (EN/FR only for now)
4. Automatic double-booking prevention

Revenue Features:

1. Add extras like breakfast, laundry, or bike rental (per stay/night/guest/guest-night)
2. Flexible seasonal pricing adjustments per room
3. Multi-currency support

OTA Calendar Sync:

1. Import iCal feeds from Airbnb, Booking.com, Hostelworld
2. Daily auto-sync + manual sync on demand
3. Conflict detection with detailed sync logs

Booking Management:

1. Centralised dashboard for all properties and rooms
2. Approve/reject requests with automated guest notifications
3. Add co-owners/managers with full booking permissions

Why It Exists

The platform philosophy is simple: optimise for marketing, brand control, and booking conversion. We're constantly shipping features based on feedback from small property owners who want to reduce OTA dependency without paying £100-300/month for enterprise PMS bloat.

Happy to answer questions about how it works for hostel setups.

Cheers,
