Free hotel & guesthouse management software
Get a real direct-booking website, an amaldives.com listing and pay-at-property on the free plan — no card, no setup fee, no commission on direct bookings. Upgrade only when you need channel sync.
Most 'free' hotel software is a stripped trial that stops working after 14 days. Vayves has a genuinely free plan built for small properties getting started: your own booking page, a listing on amaldives.com and manual reservations — enough to take direct bookings today and keep 100% of the room rate.
What you get for free
- ✓Your own direct-booking website on a {name}.vayves.com address.
- ✓A listing on amaldives.com — real traveller demand, direct bookings at a 4% platform fee.
- ✓Reservations, availability calendar and a guest portal.
- ✓Pay-at-property, or connect Stripe/BML/Maya when you are ready.
- ✓No card required, no time limit, no commission on your own direct bookings.
When to upgrade
The free plan is perfect for a single small property taking direct bookings. You upgrade when you want to automate more:
- ✓Growth ($19/mo): channel manager (Booking.com, Agoda, Airbnb) + SMS notifications.
- ✓Business ($49/mo): API access, multi-property, and the full MIRA tax module.
- ✓Channel Plus ($79/mo): priority channel sync and Stripe direct payouts.
Why free actually works here
Vayves can offer a real free plan because the business is aligned with yours: when amaldives.com sends you a booking, the platform earns a small 4% fee — far below the 15–18% OTAs take. You get the software free and keep the OTA margin; the platform grows only when you take bookings. No trap, no bait-and-switch.
