All-in-One Cloud PMS for Hostels and Hotels
FrontDesk Master is a cloud-based property management system built for hostels, hotels, guesthouses, and B&Bs. With over 10 years of experience and customers across 60+ countries, the platform combines reservations, channel management, a booking engine, online check-in, and invoicing into a single unified dashboard — described by the company as "the only PMS that considers all the business needs for your ho(s)tel."
Channel Manager With 10+ OTA Connections
The built-in channel manager synchronizes availability, rates, and restrictions in real time across 10+ major OTAs including Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Hostelworld, and Agoda. Two-way sync eliminates manual rate updates and reduces overbooking risk across all connected platforms.
Direct Booking Engine
The booking engine allows properties to accept commission-free reservations directly through their own website. It features customizable multilingual room descriptions, photo galleries, booking terms, and flexible rate plans, giving small and mid-size properties a professional direct booking presence.
Online Check-In and Payments
FrontDesk Master includes a built-in online check-in module with digital pre-arrival registration and passport scanning capabilities. The payments module automates charging for non-refundable reservations and no-shows, and supports multi-currency deposits and transactions.
Invoicing and Tax Compliance
The platform automates invoice generation, tax model configuration, and certified report exports to support legal and fiscal compliance. This is particularly valuable for European properties that must comply with local tax authority reporting requirements.
Staff Management
A dedicated staff management module tracks time, logs transactions by shift, and manages team access levels. Unlimited free training for staff is included with every plan, regardless of team size.
Revenue Management Integration
FrontDesk Master optionally integrates with Pricepoint, a mobile-first dynamic pricing app, to automate rate adjustments based on occupancy and demand signals.
Multi-Property Support
The platform supports multi-property management from a single login, with consolidated reporting and statistics across all locations. This makes it suitable for small portfolio operators managing multiple hostels or guesthouses.
Pricing Model
FrontDesk Master offers no setup fees, no fixed contracts, and a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. Plans start at $25/month (PMS Lite) and $36/month (PMS Pro), scaling with property capacity. A commission-based model ($2/booking or 3%) is also available as an alternative to fixed monthly fees.
