Hotel Management

Property management for hotels, lodges, and guesthouses

Running a hotel, lodge, or guesthouse in East Africa comes with unique challenges — from managing walk-in guests who pay cash to handling group bookings from safari operators, all while dealing with intermittent internet. NodePoint Hotel Management gives you a complete property management system that works offline, so your front desk never stops operating.

Manage room inventory, guest check-ins, housekeeping schedules, and room service orders from a single dashboard. Accept payments via M-Pesa, cash, or card. When a guest checks in, their room status updates automatically across all devices. Housekeeping staff can see which rooms need attention, and management gets real-time occupancy and revenue reports.

Whether you run a boutique hotel in Kigali, a beach resort in Zanzibar, a safari lodge in the Mara, or a budget guesthouse in Kampala, NodePoint scales to fit your operation. No expensive property management software licenses or specialised hardware — just open NodePoint on any device and start managing your property.
