If this sounds familiar

You've been working around the lack of a system.

  • ! Booking.com and Airbnb take 15–20% of every reservation — on a R2,500 weekend that's R500 gone
  • ! Direct bookings come via email or WhatsApp and every one is a slightly different, inconsistent conversation
  • ! Deposit collection is clumsy — guests have to ask for your banking details, then you wait and hope
  • ! You retype the same check-in instructions, gate code and map pin for every guest
  • ! A cancellation turns into a week of email back-and-forth about the deposit

How ReserveMe fixes it

Built for the way SA B&B & Guesthouses actually work.

Your pain ReserveMe
Marketplace commission A direct booking page on your own link. 0% commission to ReserveMe — the full rate stays with you
Inconsistent direct flow The same form, confirmation and data for every booking, whether it came from Instagram, your website or a returning guest
Deposit collection Deposit captured at booking via PayFast or EFT with PoP upload — no more "what are your banking details?"
Repetitive check-in info Auto-confirmation email carries your custom check-in instructions, gate code and map link, every time
Cancellation back-and-forth A self-cancel token in the confirmation lets the guest cancel; the dates reopen and your policy is already on record
Double-booked dates Booked dates close automatically, so you never accidentally take two parties for the same room and weekend

The toolkit

How ReserveMe works for B&B & Guesthouses

Real features doing real jobs — not a list of buzzwords.

Direct booking page

Your own reservation link for your website, Instagram and Google profile. Guests book direct — no OTA between you and your rate.

Deposit at booking

Secure each stay with a deposit via PayFast (card/instant EFT) or manual EFT with a PoP upload. No chasing banking details.

Automatic check-in info

Your confirmation email carries the check-in time, gate code, directions and map pin — written once, sent to every guest automatically.

Date availability

Booked dates close so the same room can't be double-sold for the same weekend. One calendar, no clashes.

Self-service cancels

Guests cancel via a secure link in their confirmation; the dates reopen and your cancellation policy is already logged.

0% commission, in Rand

No OTA cut, no per-booking fee from us — just a flat monthly plan (free on Starter), priced in Rand.

Functions in action

What it looks like on a normal week

A Garden Route guesthouse adds its ReserveMe link to its Google profile — repeat guests book direct and the 15% Booking.com cut disappears on every one.
A R1,000 deposit secures a long-weekend booking; the confirmation email already contains the gate code and directions.
A guest cancels three weeks out via the link in their confirmation — the dates reopen automatically, no email thread required.

Typical flow

What a guest sees

One link. No app to download. Done in under two minutes.

  1. 1 Opens your booking link from your website, Google profile or Instagram
  2. 2 Chooses check-in and check-out dates and a room
  3. 3 Enters guest details and any special requests
  4. 4 Pays the deposit by PayFast or EFT to secure the dates
  5. 5 Gets a confirmation with your check-in instructions, gate code and map
