For boarding house & dormitory operators

The best boarding house management system — free.

SastyBed is a free boarding house, dormitory and bedspace management system — online & walk-in bookings, a live bed occupancy grid, rent collection, tenant records, meals and mess menu, complaints and maintenance. No subscription, no card required.

Built for boarding house, dormitory and bedspace operators across the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and beyond.
Why boarding houses switch

Run your boarding house from your phone, not a logbook.

Most boarding houses and dormitories are still run on a wall chart and a cash box. SastyBed replaces both — every tenant, bed, payment and complaint in one dashboard, on web and mobile. See live bed occupancy at a glance, take online and walk-in bookings, collect rent with instant receipts, keep a full record on every tenant, publish the meal menu, and get a monthly income and occupancy report without the maths.

Why SastyBed

Everything a boarding house needs — in one place.

A live bed and room occupancy grid, online and walk-in bookings, rent collection, tenant records, the meal and mess menu, complaints and reports — plus multiple properties, staff accounts with role-based access, attendance, maintenance and inventory — all from one free dashboard.

Live occupancy grid

See every room across every floor of every hostel in real time. Colour-coded for available, occupied, expiring and maintenance — the same visual the mobile owner app uses.

Online & walk-in booking

Run your hostel online, walk-in only, or both. Students browse and book in-app; you accept from your phone, or enrol a walk-in in 30 seconds at the desk.

WhatsApp rent reminders

Stop chasing rent. Connect your WhatsApp Business number once and SastyBed sends rent-due nudges 5 days before, on the day, and 3 days after — automatically, every month, to every student.

7-day mess menu publisher

Publish a different breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack for each day of the week. Tag dishes Veg or Non-veg, mark slots unavailable, and students see the menu live on their app.

Income, expenses & net profit

Track every unit of money in and out. Log utilities, salaries, groceries and maintenance. Mark recurring expenses once and they auto-appear every month. Monthly PDF report ready for your accountant.

Printable + WhatsApp slips

Every enrolment and every payment generates a branded receipt. Print it, or share on WhatsApp in one tap — students get a signed link that opens without logging in.

Multi-branch & staff accounts

Run one hostel or fifty branches from a single dashboard. Create login accounts for your managers and staff — each limited to specific hostels and specific modules with role-based access, so everyone only sees what you allow.

Staff attendance register

Mark a 7-day staff attendance register in seconds — tap Present, Absent, Leave or Half-day for each cook, cleaner and guard. Month-to-date present counts roll up automatically, no biometric machine required.

Complaint & maintenance desk

Log resident complaints by category and severity, assign them to staff, and track each one to resolution. Rooms move to maintenance automatically on checkout — assign a cleaner, then mark them available again.

Inventory & asset tracking

Track every asset — furniture, electronics, kitchen, fixtures — and whether you own it or inherited it from the previous owner, with a live valuation per hostel. Know exactly what's on your floor.

Flexible charges & billing

Bill more than just the bed. Add Mess, AC, Internet, Laundry or Security as per-student charges — the monthly fee and the receipt breakdown calculate themselves, and feed straight into your reports.

Free owner & student apps

A free Android & iOS app for owners (run the hostel from your phone) and a separate app for students (search hostels, book, view the mess menu, pay). Plus WhatsApp announcements to every resident in one tap.

Boarding house software FAQ

Boarding house management — your questions, answered.

Can SastyBed handle bedspace as well as private rooms?

Yes. SastyBed works at the bed level, so a shared bedspace dormitory and a private-room boarding house are both handled the same way — every bed and room shows on one live occupancy grid, and you assign a tenant to a specific bed or a whole room.

Does it collect rent and issue receipts?

Yes. SastyBed tracks each tenant's rent, deposit and monthly charges, generates a receipt on every payment, and shows you exactly who has paid and who is still due — with automatic reminders so you stop chasing.

How are tenant records kept?

Every tenant has a full record — their bed or room, move-in date, payment history, deposit and any complaints — so you always know who is staying, since when, and their standing, without flipping through a notebook.

Can I publish the meals or mess menu to tenants?

Yes. If your boarding house serves meals, you can publish the daily and weekly menu so tenants know what is being served, right from their phone.

Is there a mobile app for tenants?

Yes. There is a free operator app to run the boarding house from your phone, and a free tenant app to find and book bedspace, view the menu, raise a complaint and pay — both on Android and iOS.
