BananaDesk - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

BananaDesk is a complete cloud-based front desk and property management solution for hostels which is designed to simplify operations by providing tools for managing booking channels, reservations, rates and availability, guest accounts, check-ins, add-ons and upselling, taxes, and more. Integrations with Booking.com, Hostelworld, and Facebook allow users to manage reservations from third-party booking channels, in addition to those made through the optional built-in booking engine.

BananaDesk is suitable for hostels which offer both dorms and private rooms, with support for both per-room and per-bed pricing. Reservations can be imported from connected channels, including Hostelworld and Booking.com, and rates and availability are automatically updated across all connected sites when they are changed in BananaDesk. Users are automatically alerted via email when there is the possibility of overbooking from any of their channels. BananaDesk also offers an optional booking engine with unique property URLs, property photos and descriptions for guests to book direct.

BananaDesk’s dashboard allows users to organize guest accounts and shows the front desk at-a-glance. Users can check the total reservations, occupied rooms, current guest account balances, and all the extras purchased by guests. Add-on products and services, such as tours, activities, bike rentals, towels, food and drink, and more can be sold to guests. Users can manage a range of taxes for the different rooms and extras offered. BananaDesk also supports multiple user accounts, allowing users to invite their team and manage permissions.
