Connect your own domain (e.g. book.yourhostel.com) to your Hosttello booking site.
Direct booking page
A native, mobile-first /book page with live beds-left scarcity, seasonal rates, deposits, group/multi-room bookings, upsells and Payzone checkout — server-priced and overbooking-safe.

Time-slotted sessions with per-class capacity, a recurring weekly timetable that auto-generates sessions, and live seats-left — no overbooking. The scheduling engine surf & kite schools actually need.
