Why hostels & camps pick Hosttello
Hostel-native, not room-native
Dorm beds, bed-level calendar, volunteers and walk-ins — Sirvoy thinks in rooms.
Lessons & activities included
Surf/kite lessons, instructors and timetables in the same system as your beds.
Chat-native operations
Run the front desk and answer guests from Telegram; Sirvoy has no guest bot.
Flat all-in price
One flat plan — no per-room maths or channel-manager add-ons.
When Sirvoy might be the better fit
If you run a small B&B or guesthouse that just needs rooms and a channel manager at the lowest possible cost, Sirvoy is genuinely good value. If you run dorms, lessons or volunteers — or want to work from your phone — Hosttello is purpose-built for that.
