Everything the front desk needs

One tool, the whole day handled

From the morning arrivals list to the evening invoice. No more juggling registers, spreadsheets and chat threads.

Visual availability calendar

See every room and every dorm bed across your dates at a glance. Colour-coded, easy to read, and impossible to double-book.

Bookings & check-in / out

Create, edit and cancel reservations in seconds. One-tap check-in and check-out keeps the day's status always current.

Bed-level dorm booking

Built for hostels. Book and price each bed on its own, with mixed and private dorms tracked separately.

GST invoices in β‚Ή

The right GST slab is applied automatically by tariff, with CGST, SGST and IGST worked out for you. Print or share in a tap.

Payments & balances

Log UPI, cash or card against each stay and always know exactly who still owes what.

Guests & rates

A clean guest record for every visitor, plus seasonal and weekend rate overrides so peak pricing runs itself.

…and a live dashboard for arrivals, departures, in-house guests and occupancy %, with a team login for every staff member.

Why owners switch

Big-hotel software is overkill. So is a paper register.

Tools like OPERA, eZee or Cloudbeds are built for chains, which makes them too complex and too costly for a 12-room homestay. Keycation keeps only what a small stay actually needs, and makes it simple.

  • βœ“Nothing to learn. If your staff can use WhatsApp, they can use Keycation.
  • βœ“No double-bookings. Availability is enforced down to the individual bed.
  • βœ“Cloud-based. Open it on the front-desk laptop or on your phone anywhere, always the same live data.
  • βœ“Compliance built in. GST and C-Form handled without a chartered accountant on speed-dial.

Before Keycation

  • βœ•A register only one person can read
  • βœ•Spreadsheets that never quite match the cash box
  • βœ•"Did we already give that bed to someone?"
  • βœ•GST worked out by hand, late at night

With Keycation

  • βœ“One live calendar the whole team can see
  • βœ“Payments and balances that always tie out
  • βœ“Availability enforced, so no double-bookings
  • βœ“A correct GST invoice in two taps
