Booking system for small hotels

A hotel booking system for independent hotels with 1-30 rooms

Romnest gives an independent hotel its own website with direct booking. Guests can check availability and submit a reservation while the hotel team manages rooms, rates, bookings, and daily operations in one system. The Free plan can be used without hiring a web developer.

It is designed for independent hotels, resorts, guesthouses, and villas with 1-30 rooms that want an owned direct-booking channel alongside their current sales channels.

What does the Romnest hotel booking system do?

Romnest connects a guest-facing booking website to the hotel's availability, rates, and reservation records. When a guest chooses stay dates, the site shows the options configured by the hotel and continues into a direct reservation flow.

Hotel staff use the calendar and management screens to review availability, adjust rates, manage reservations, and follow related work without transferring every enquiry from a generic form into a separate system.

  • A ready-to-use hotel website and guest booking flow
  • Room, room-type, rate, and availability management
  • Coupons, seasonal pricing, and minimum-stay rules by plan
  • Housekeeping, guest messages, packages, add-ons, and payments by plan and hotel configuration

Which hotels is it for?

Romnest is intended for owners and small teams that want to open a direct-booking channel without beginning with a large website project. A hotel can start with its existing room and rate information, then share the booking link from its website, Facebook page, LINE account, or Google Business Profile.

  • Hotels with 1-5 rooms testing direct booking on the Free plan
  • Hotels with up to 12 rooms needing more rate rules and operational tools on Starter
  • Hotels with up to 30 rooms needing packages, add-ons, a payment gateway, and a customer portal on Pro

How do you get started?

Create an account, add the property and rooms, configure rates and availability, and complete one test booking before sharing the link. Hotels with an existing website can use the Hosted or WordPress documentation to choose an appropriate connection method.

  • 1. Create an account and choose a plan that fits the room count
  • 2. Add room types, images, rates, and available inventory
  • 3. Configure policies, payments, and required contact details
  • 4. Complete a test reservation and share the direct-booking link

Important limitations

  • Room limits depend on the plan: 5 rooms on Free, 12 on Starter, and 30 on Pro
  • Online payments require an eligible plan and a supported payment-provider account configured by the hotel
  • Multi-property groups or hotels with more than 30 rooms per property should confirm fit with Romnest before migrating
  • Romnest provides a direct-booking channel and hotel-management tools; it does not replace every OTA or guarantee bookings

Frequently asked questions

Can a hotel really start Romnest for free?

Yes. The Free plan supports up to 5 rooms and includes a ready-to-use booking website. Starter and Pro are available when a hotel needs more rooms or capabilities.

Does the hotel need a web developer?

No developer is required to use the hosted booking website supplied by Romnest. Hotels that already have a website and want an embedded or custom connection can use the Hosted, WordPress, or API documentation.

Where can a hotel share its direct-booking page?

A hotel can share the link from its website, Facebook page, LINE account, Google Business Profile, or its other communication channels. Guests use the page connected to the hotel's availability.

Does Romnest support online payment?

Online payment is available according to the plan and payment gateway configured by the hotel. The hotel chooses and owns its payment-provider account and settlement terms.
