A PMS built for small hotels and guesthouses
Enterprise hotel software is overkill for a 10–40 room property. Vayves gives independent hotels and guesthouses exactly what they need — reservations, channel sync, a booking website and payments — from $19/mo, with a genuinely free plan.
Big PMS platforms are priced and designed for chains. Small properties end up paying for modules they never use and fighting an interface built for a 300-room resort. Vayves is the opposite: simple enough to run from your phone, complete enough to replace your spreadsheet, OTA extranets and separate booking widget.
What independent properties actually need
- ✓One reservation calendar — availability, group bookings, check-in/out, no-shows.
- ✓Channel manager — Booking.com, Agoda, Airbnb kept in sync so you never double-book.
- ✓A direct-booking website — take commission-free bookings on your own page.
- ✓Payments — cards, local gateways, or pay-at-property.
- ✓Housekeeping, staff and expenses — the daily operations, not just the bookings.
Priced for small properties
Start free with a booking website and reservations. Add channel sync at $19/mo, multi-property and reporting at $49/mo. No per-room enterprise pricing, no annual lock-in, no setup fee.
Demand, not just software
Unlike a plain PMS, Vayves includes a way to get booked: your property can list on amaldives.com and take direct bookings at a 4% platform fee — far below OTA commission — so the system helps fill rooms, not just track them.

Do I need technical skills to set it up?
No. You can claim your account, add rooms and rates, and take your first booking the same day. It runs from your phone.
