Avoid overbookings. Synchronize your offer. Simplify your life.
No credit card required
92% of OTA reservations come from four sales channels. Bottom line: You don't need a Channel Manager to connect with 100+ channels.
Connect your front desk to the most relevant booking channels for hostels: Booking, Hostelworld, Airbnb & Expedia. We help you develop a solid strategy for each one.
Beyond the inevitable coincidence (some people book the last room at the same time), overbooking occurs when you don't have a synchronized system for booking channels. We work to avoid the avoidable and alleviate the unavoidable.
Define your strategy, and we implement it in every channel. BananaDesk can be the place where you establish your single source of truth regarding your offer.
Already have a marketing strategy or website? We have a great tool to start making you independent from the main channels.
* Can be free of charge (charge bookings on your own) OR 4% fee per processed booking through Stripe.
We work every day to simplify hostel management for you. If something is unclear, it has no place in BananaDesk.
BananaDesk is self-service, you can find out how to take advantage of it quickly without any extra help. Besides that, we are there to answer any questions.
You don't need to be a Certified User to use our hostel management system, do you? We focus on offering you everything we know to help you progress as a hostel manager.
In BananaDesk, you've got everything your front desk needs, at a glance. You can see who is in a reservation, each of the rooms they occupy, any extras they have purchased (like a beer, towel or tour), and the current balance - all on one simple screen.
Organize your front desk with the tool all receptionists learn quickly. With BananaDesk, your receptionists manage reservations how they really are (in groups, in multiple rooms, etc). Updating a reservation, like moving rooms or extending nights is just a simple 'click and drag' away.

Michael V. / Administrator

Used the software for: 2+ years
Pros: It's very straightforward software and therefore it's very easy to teach new users all the functions and features in a short period of time.
Cons: It's built-in channel manager only connects to Booking.com and Hostelworld. But, since those are the main booking sites, it's not a huge inconvenience.
Luke S. / Hostel owner

Used the software for: 2+ years
Pros: BananaDesk is extremely user-friendly bright and colorful - a joy to behold. It makes managing the beds in our hostel so very straightforward. And their helpdesk is brilliantly always on hand, if needed - which because their whole setup is rarely needed :)
Pros: Nothing springs to mind. Maybe if there was a way to color new reservations differently if they arrived in need of being pieced together - jumbled because of limited availability in a certain bed, sometimes we don't spot it until the last minute, but that's probably an impossibility. I must tell them. They've probably got a solution for that.
