Your guesthouse's own booking website, and a back office that does the admin.
Stoep gives South African guesthouses a beautiful website where guests book directly, without commission, and one simple place to run bookings, invoices and guests. Your calendar stays in sync with Booking.com, Airbnb, LekkeSlaap and the rest.

What your guests see: rooms, prices, availability and booking.

Want to see a real one? Bloemhof Guesthouses runs on Stoep.
Everything a guesthouse needs, in one place
Built with a working guesthouse group in Bloemhof, for the way South African guesthouses really run.
Your own website
Your rooms, photos, rates and live availability on your own .co.za address, in English and Afrikaans. Guests book directly, and you keep the full amount.
Bookings and calendar
Every booking from every source in one calendar, so you see at a glance which rooms are free, booked or waiting for payment.
Calendar sync
Bookings on Booking.com, Airbnb, LekkeSlaap and other sites block your calendar automatically, and your direct bookings block theirs. No double bookings.
Invoices and quotes
Professional invoices with your banking details, ready to send to guests on WhatsApp or email in one click.
Proof of payment
Guests upload their proof of payment from their booking link, and you confirm the booking when the money is in.
WhatsApp built in
Booking requests, confirmations and directions go out on WhatsApp, the way your guests already talk to you.
Staff and guesthouses
Run several houses under one login, and give staff access only to the houses they look after.
Works on your phone
Check today's arrivals, take a booking or send an invoice from your phone, wherever you are.
Found on Google
Your website is set up so Google understands your guesthouse, with your town, address and prices.
Works with the booking sites you already use
Stoep links your calendar with any booking site or calendar that offers an iCal (.ics) calendar link, including:
- Booking.com
- Airbnb
- LekkeSlaap
- SafariNow
- Vrbo
- Agoda
- Tripadvisor
- Houfy
- Holidu
- Google Calendar
- Apple iCloud Calendar
- Outlook Calendar
Booking sites check linked calendars every few hours, so Stoep syncs your calendars regularly in the background. Listed somewhere else? If that site offers a calendar link, it works with Stoep.

Questions
Do you take a commission on bookings?
No. You pay the setup fee and the monthly fee only. Bookings made on your own website are yours in full.
Can I keep my existing website?
Yes. Choose App, and use the back office and calendar sync alongside the website you already have.
Which booking sites can I link?
Any site that gives you an iCal (.ics) calendar link, such as Booking.com, Airbnb, LekkeSlaap, SafariNow, Vrbo, Agoda, Tripadvisor, Houfy and Holidu, as well as Google, Apple and Outlook calendars.
Do I need my own web address?
If you have one, we use it. If not, we register one in your name, so it always stays yours.
What if I want to leave?
You can end the agreement with 30 days' notice. You get an export of your bookings and guests, and your web address is transferred to whoever you choose.
Is my guests' information safe?
Yes. Your data is kept secure and backed up, used only to run your guesthouse, and never sold or shared, in line with POPIA.
