Hostel management software for New Zealand
Busy arrivals, many short stays and a small team: NURISTAY keeps your hostel’s rooms, bookings and payments in one place.
Why hostels choose NURISTAY
Busy arrivals, shorter queues
Guests confirm their details and sign on their phone before they arrive, so there is less to do at the desk.
Payments you can see
The Today screen shows unpaid bookings, and payment reminders with your invoice and bank details go out by themselves.
Guest data handled with care
ID and card photos are encrypted and deleted 7 days after check-out, and your data is stored in New Zealand.
Features that make the difference
Today at a glance
One screen shows who is arriving and leaving, who still owes money and which rooms are ready – on the desk computer or on your phone.
- Arrivals, departures and unpaid bookings
- Rooms that are ready after cleaning
- Refreshes by itself every 15 seconds
Check-in without paper
Guests who did not check in online sign the check-in form on a tablet at the desk. The signed form is saved on the booking.
- A large, easy-to-read guest screen
- Signing on the check-in day also checks the guest in
- Signed forms kept in the cloud for 7 years
