# Hostel management software with bed-level inventory

True bed-level inventory — sell individual beds inside shared dorms.

**In short:** Hostel PMS with true bed-level inventory: sell single bunks in shared dorms and private rooms from one calendar, with walk-ins and passport scanning.

## Why bedsKey fits hostels & backpackers

- **Bed-level inventory** — sell a single bunk in a dorm and a private room from the same availability calendar.
- **No double-sold beds** — overlap protection is enforced by the database, so the same bed can never be sold twice for the same night.
- **Fast walk-ins** — register, price, assign and check in a guest with no booking from one screen.
- **Passport scanning** — photograph the passport page and the guest form fills itself, checked against ICAO 9303.
