Everything your hostel & hotel needs, in one dashboard
Bookings, rooms, beds, work exchange, supplies, laundry and finances in one dashboard — with real-time push notifications and your own storefront to sell direct to guests, no OTA commission.
Connected with the leading booking channels
Every booking in one calendar — wherever it comes from
Your own room storefront takes bookings straight from the guest, no OTA commission. And bookings made through Booking.com, Airbnb, Hostelworld or Agoda show up updated in your dashboard automatically, with guest, dates and price ready to go — nothing to type by hand. It all lands on the same room and bed calendar.
- Your own room storefront, no commission
- Booking requests straight from the hostel's website
- Bookings from Booking.com, Airbnb, Hostelworld and Agoda show up updated on the dashboard
- One single calendar, every source (direct, WhatsApp, OTAs)
Tools built to make more per guest
It's not just about filling a bed — it's getting every guest to spend more and come back more often.
Real-time push notifications
Sale made, new booking, payment confirmed, review received, a supply or product about to expire, a guest's birthday in 7 days — straight to your phone, the moment it happens.
Promotional pricing + long-stay rates
Set up a one-off promo or a cheaper nightly rate for guests staying a long time — long-stay guests spend a lot more inside the hostel, and a lower rate in the low season attracts people from anywhere when regular occupancy is weak.
Packages and combos that raise the ticket
Breakfast combo, Family Dinner (buffet, à la carte or a fixed meal — configure it your way), tours, laundry, bikes. Every extra sold is revenue that doesn't depend on selling one more bed.
From QR scan to delivery, without your team chasing anything
The full self-service flow — the guest orders, the system organizes it, your team just confirms and delivers.
Guest scans the QR
In the room, at the restaurant, at the cafeteria — each point has its own menu with a banner and featured offers.
Builds the cart
Adds items and already gets an order-bump suggestion — the right extra, sauce or drink to complete it.
Signs and confirms
Reviews everything, signs digitally and confirms the wristband check-in code before sending.
Lands in the right queue
The order reaches the right point (kitchen, cafeteria, smoke shop) — admin always gets it, front desk and management too if you want.
Team preps it
A dedicated expediter (staff or volunteer) receives it, hands it to the kitchen, and checks it off as it's ready.
Reaches the guest
Delivered, guest notified — and they still see a special offer (upsell) to complete the order.
+5 to 7% in sales
Hostels with a smart in-room tab sell more extras without needing more staff.
Security on every order
Check-in code + digital signature guarantee only the right guest orders on their own tab.
Hours under your control
Choose what hours each QR Code accepts orders — 24 hours or a window that's entirely yours.
What runs behind the front desk, under control too
Kitchen, stock and laundry stop being a separate notebook and become part of the same dashboard.
Restaurant, food and hostel market
Your mini-shop and internal kitchen organized: a menu of ready-made dishes, individual products (drinks, snacks, toiletries) by category, sold on the spot or charged straight to the guest's tab.
Complete supply control
Flour, cheese, oil and every kitchen ingredient organized by category, with cost, minimum stock, periodic physical counts and expiry dates — automatic alert when something's about to expire.
Laundry under control
Laundry service as one more sellable extra on the booking, with its own delivery deadline and rules — no more relying on a loose note or a verbal deal with staff.
DealCouple Suite
Your rooms page, your way
Photos, amenities, promotional pricing and long-stay rates show up automatically for the guest — no code, no third party. The guest sees everything and requests the booking right there, with whatever extras they want to add.
- Photo gallery per room
- Deal badge and long-stay rate badge
- Packages and combos available right in the booking
- No fee, no platform commission
End to end, no spreadsheet and no notebook
More than revenue tracking — Gestono is a revenue expansion tool, with every feature built around how a hostel or small hotel actually runs and grows.
Rooms & Beds
Visual map of every room and bed, with live status: free, occupied, reserved, cleaning or maintenance — updates itself as check-ins and check-outs happen. See at a glance where there's room, without opening booking after booking.
Booking calendar
14-day grid with every room, so you can see at a glance where there's room and where there isn't, without opening booking after booking. Bookings from your own site, WhatsApp and OTAs (Booking, Airbnb, Hostelworld, Agoda) show up updated on the same calendar.
Promotional pricing
Turn on a one-off deal on any room, or set up a cheaper nightly rate for guests staying many nights — long-stay guests spend a lot more inside the hostel, so lowering their rate pays for itself through internal spending. The deal badge shows up automatically on the storefront.
Room storefront
Public page with photos, prices, deals and amenities for each room. The guest requests the booking right there, with whatever extras they want to add — with zero platform commission.
Email-based bookings
Connect your email and Gestono imports the bookings landing there, without automatic channel syncing — simple, for anyone still managing bookings manually who wants to organize what already hits their inbox.
Packages & Combos
Breakfast combo, Family Dinner (buffet, à la carte or a fixed meal — configure it your way), bike rental, transfer, tours, laundry. Sell as a booking extra or build combos, with promotional pricing and stock.
Restaurant and market
Your mini-shop and internal kitchen organized: a menu of ready-made dishes, individual products (drinks, snacks, toiletries) by category, with their own promotional pricing. Sold on the spot or charged straight to the guest's tab.
Laundry
Laundry service as one more sellable extra on the booking, with its own delivery deadline and rules — no more relying on a loose note or a verbal deal with staff.
Smoke shop & shisha rental
Cigarettes, flavors, papers and accessories in a separate sales point — plus shisha (hookah) rental billed by the hour, a common practice that already generates its own extra revenue.
QR Code per point
Restaurant, Cafeteria, MiniShop and Smoke Shop each get their own QR Code and public menu link, with a promotional banner and items organized by category — ready to print and stick on the wall or table.
Smart in-room tab
The guest scans the room's QR, builds the cart, and the order lands straight on their tab — no need to call anyone. Hostels that turn this on report 5 to 7% more revenue from extras.
Cross-point connection
If a guest wants something only the Cafeteria or Smoke Shop sells, the Restaurant requests it straight through the system — it lands in the other point's prep queue, with an instant sound notification. Nobody has to walk over to ask.
Order bump & upsell
When the guest adds an item, the system already suggests the right add-on (the extra, the sauce, the drink) right inside the cart. After the order is confirmed, a special offer (upsell) still shows up to close with one more item.
Signature + security code
Before sending, the guest reviews the whole order, signs digitally and confirms the wristband check-in code — that same code locks to the first phone that uses it, so nobody orders on another guest's tab by mistake.
Operating hours per QR
Each point (Restaurant, Cafeteria, Store, Smoke Shop) can stay open 24 hours or only within a window you set — outside it, the menu shows it's closed and won't let orders through.
Full prep queue
Every order lands in a queue with a status (new → confirmed → ready). It works best with someone dedicated near the kitchen — the expediter — who receives it, hands it to the kitchen and checks it off as it goes out, without slowing down whoever's cooking.
Volunteer-run room service
Put a volunteer in charge of delivering room service orders — the order can route to the front desk, the kitchen, or the right point, and the admin always gets notified for full control over what's going out.
Setup with ready-made products
During setup, pick from ready-made products (Red Bull, beers, snacks, shisha flavors and more) to get your store running in minutes — then just adjust the price and keep adding whatever's unique to you.
Language, currency and taxes
Set your dashboard's language, the currency your guests see on the menu, and the tax/service fee applied to sales — all correct from initial setup, no need to adjust product by product later.
Supply control
Flour, cheese, oil and every kitchen ingredient organized by category, with cost, minimum stock, periodic physical counts and expiry date — automatic alert when something's about to expire.
Cleaning
Per-room cleaning task board (dirty → in progress → clean → inspected), automatically synced with check-out.
Operational metrics
Staff birthdays, how close you are to a full house this week, and real-time bed availability — right on the main dashboard.
Barcode scanner
Scan the product and it's already in the sale — works with any standard USB scanner, no need to buy new equipment or switch suppliers.
Cross-referenced finances
Monthly revenue cross-referencing lodging, extras/packages and shop sales in a single chart — no more adding up three separate reports by hand.
Digital receipts
Every closed sale, tab and reservation automatically generates a numbered receipt — print it on the 58mm/80mm thermal printer you already use, share the link via WhatsApp or download it as PDF, no specific equipment required.
Staff Management
Complete staff records with photo, role and permissions — a clear split between administrators and operational staff, with tenure calculated automatically.
Tour Guides
Tour guide records with photo, languages spoken, tour types offered and vehicle (car, van or motorcycle) — a full individual page, not a shallow popup.
Tour Management
Every type of tour (hiking, city tour, diving, whatever it is) becomes a sellable package in the hostel, linked to the responsible guide — ready to sell at the front desk or on the public storefront.
Volunteering
Volunteer record with role, bed, agreed stay period and work hours. Status flow (pending → active → finished) and automatic countdown of remaining days.
Reviews
Guest reviews centralized with manual replies — track your reputation without having to log into each platform separately.
Real-time notifications
Sale made, new booking, payment confirmed, review received, a supply or product expiring, a guest's birthday in 7 days — all straight to your phone, the moment it happens.
Mobile app
Bookings, rooms, finances and the main metrics in your pocket — register it on the computer, it shows up on the phone instantly.
