The guesthouse booking system made for South Africa.
Bookings, guests, rooms, payments and invoices in one app that runs on your phone at reception. Built for B&Bs, guesthouses, lodges and self catering units.
Front desk
Arrivals, stayovers and departures. Check in and out with one tap.
Calendar
Every room and booking, colour coded by where it came from.
Money
Deposits, EFT proof of payment, VAT invoices with TOMSA.
Direct bookings
Your own booking website, promo codes and past guest messages.
Built for reception, not for an office
Many booking systems were designed for a desk with a big screen. Guesthouse owners run reception from their phone while doing ten other things. NitroStay opens on Today: who arrives, who is staying, who leaves, what is still owed, and which rooms need cleaning.
South African details done right
Tax invoices that show VAT the way SARS expects, and the 1% TOMSA tourism levy on accommodation only. Rand prices. Local channels like LekkeSlaap and SafariNow. A guest page where guests upload their EFT proof of payment instead of emailing it. Data hosted in Johannesburg.
Switching is free
We move your rooms, rates, guests and future bookings from your current system or spreadsheet, and your website too. You run both side by side for two weeks before you switch off the old one.
Questions
What is a guesthouse booking system?
One place for every booking: a calendar of your rooms, the guest details, payments and invoices. NitroStay adds the channel manager and a booking website, so bookings from every source land in the same place.
Is NitroStay made for South Africa?
Yes. Rand pricing, VAT tax invoices with the TOMSA levy, LekkeSlaap and SafariNow, EFT proof of payment, data hosted in Johannesburg and built for POPIA.
Can my staff use it?
Yes, with as many logins as you need on every plan. Front desk, managers and housekeeping each see only what their job needs. Cleaners, for example, never see guest money or phone numbers.
How much does it cost?
By size: Starter R299 (1 to 3 rooms), Guesthouse R399 (4 to 9 rooms), Lodge R649 (10 to 19 rooms), Hotel R799 (20 to 40 rooms) a month, excluding VAT. No commission and no fee per booking.
