Made for hosts, not hotel chains
If you host guests in a few rooms of your home, a heritage bungalow or a small guesthouse, you don't need enterprise hotel software — you need to know who's arriving, which room is ready and what each guest owes. FlipStay keeps exactly that in one place.
- A calendar you can read at a glance. Every room and every night on one screen, on your phone or laptop.
- Check-in in a minute. Record the guest's details and ID once; they're there for the invoice and for your records.
- Invoices without the calculator. Stay, extras and tax worked out for you, as a PDF or emailed to the guest at checkout.
- Extras on the bill. Breakfast, dinners, laundry, airport pickups — add them to the room as they happen.
- Simple books. Note expenses as you go and see what the month actually earned.
- Help from family or staff. Give each helper their own sign-in, so everyone works from the same calendar.
No password to remember
Sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email — or click the link in that email. You can add a password later if you'd like one. Sign-in codes expire within minutes and can only be used once.
From sign-up to first guest
- Sign up with your email and your property's name.
- Enter the code we email you — your homestay is live straight away, no approval wait.
- Add your rooms and check in your next guest.
Free, and your data stays yours
FlipStay is free to use. We don't charge per booking and we don't sit between you and your guests' payments. Your guest list belongs to you.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. FlipStay is free homestay and B&B management software: a room calendar, guest check-in, invoices and simple books, with no subscription, no per-booking fee and no card to sign up.
Can I run my homestay from my phone?
Yes. FlipStay works in the browser on any phone, so you can see who is arriving, check guests in and send invoices from wherever you are. There is nothing to install.
I only have three rooms. Is FlipStay too much for me?
No. FlipStay is designed for properties from a couple of rooms up to about fifty. Add only the rooms you have and use only the parts you need.
Do I need a password?
No. You can sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email, and set a password later if you prefer one.
Can family members or staff help run the property?
Yes. Add them as staff with their own email sign-in, so everyone sees the same bookings and nobody shares a password.
