Why it exists
A small or mid-sized property should not need five vendors and a consultant to operate digitally. That is bookfer's thesis, and it is what settles every product decision inside.
The platform
These are not integrations syncing overnight: they are different views of the same data. Change a category's price and the engine shows it right away, with nothing to publish.
What nobody else has
Front desk, housekeeping, marketing and admin work on the same data, but each workspace has its own menu, its own home screen and its own permissions. Nobody learns to ignore half an application.
Selling model
Almost every system picks a side: either it is for urban hotels or it is for vacation rentals. Here the mode is set per category, and there is an assistant to migrate from one to the other once you already have bookings inside.
The category groups N interchangeable rooms. The guest buys “a Superior Double”, not room 203, and the engine picks the unit on confirmation — minimising gaps or balancing wear, whichever you prefer. You can also leave it unassigned so the front desk decides.
Urban hotel · hostel · aparthotel
The category wraps exactly one unit and sells it by name. The guest books the Alerce cabin, with its photos, its description and its price, and there is no ambiguity about what they got.
Cabins · apartments · glamping · villas
Booking engine
The engine's date picker shows, day by day and according to what you enable, the price from, how many units are left and which days are closed. If you prefer, one switch turns it off and it becomes a plain date picker.
Minimum 2 nights to check in on the 14th
The bet
People no longer only search on Google: they ask a model. A property an agent cannot read does not appear in that answer. The engine publishes its inventory in machine-made formats, and the GEO editor lets you declare what your property is, for whom, and what makes it trustworthy.

Revenue · RMS
The RMS is not a black box that spits out a number. Every property and every date has a decision document: what data it saw, which rules matched, whether a cap applied and what came out, line by line.

Bookfer AI
It is not a chat explaining where to click. It checks availability, creates bookings, moves a stay with a preview, adjusts rates, approves RMS events or publishes a site. And it does all of that with your permissions, not its own.

Done. Moved to 203 from the 19th to the 22nd and the notice went out. Room 101 is free those three nights.
Three things you will not have to think about
unit + date
Every night of every room is a unique lock in the database, not a validation two people booking at once can slip past. Maintenance blocks use the same lock, so they take real inventory out and disappear from the engine.
base · charge · display
Prices live in a base currency, you charge in another, and the guest can look in a third. The conversion stays live until check-in and freezes there. For Argentine pesos you pick which rate to use: blue, MEP, CCL or official.
reservations@bookfer.com
Every guest email — confirmation, token, change notice — leaves from bookfer's domain with your inbox as reply-to. It is one of the classic frictions of setting up a PMS and it was removed on purpose.
The real size
bookfer is in a market pilot, so we are not going to show you an inflated hotel counter yet. What we can show is what is inside the product today.
Marketing
The visual builder assembles the site with components that connect themselves to your data: the embedded engine, room cards, galleries, promotions and reviews. And LinkHub is the page that goes in your Instagram bio, with its QR and its analytics.

Nine steps in three stages, with progress saved on the server: you can drop it halfway and pick it up on another device. A card on your desktop takes you back to where you were.
Stage 1 · steps 0–4
Your company, your property with an address on the map, time zone and currency, your brand identity — the palette is extracted from your logo — and how you operate. That last step is what produces the workspaces and the initial apps.
Stage 2 · steps 5–7
Room types and units, with bulk creation so you do not enter the same thing twenty times. Then the first promotions and a pass over the engine. When the stage closes, availability initialises itself.
Stage 3 · step 8
Every app you were given has a guided tour drawn over the real screen, highlighting the element it is talking about. From then on, every new person on the team gets onboarding for their workspace.
Everything a property needs to operate and sell, without five vendors and without a commission per booking.

Product status
We are in a market pilot and we would rather you knew before starting than in week two. These are the four things a large competitor has and bookfer does not, today.
See the full status, area by areaChannel manager
does not exist
There is no inventory or rate sync with OTAs. There is an event log recording every booking change for when it gets connected, but today it is a file, not an integration.
Payment gateway
does not exist
Nothing is charged online. Payment happens at check-in, in person, with the currency conversion frozen at that moment.
Competitor rates
partial
The comp set discovers itself by proximity and similarity, but external competitors' rates are entered by hand. The connection to automatic providers is prepared and not connected.
Online presence
partial
Google Business and OTA listings are edited and scored inside the system, but they are not published by API: today they are copied to the destination by hand. Social connections are declared.
Both, and not with the same trick. A category can sell as a pool — ten interchangeable doubles, the guest buys “a double” — or as a single unit 1:1, where the category wraps one unit with its own name. You choose per category, not per system, so a complex with six cabins and two standard rooms coexists without forcing anything.
Not to operate, but let us say it plainly: bookfer does not have a channel manager yet. If you sell on Booking or Expedia, that availability is reconciled by hand today. The system is built so that direct bookings — your site, your LinkHub, your engine — stop getting lost in a chat, which is where most of the revenue you are not controlling comes from.
At check-in, in person. There is no integrated payment gateway yet. What there is, is real multi-currency: you store prices in a base currency, charge in another, and the conversion stays live until check-in and freezes there so the amount charged does not change afterwards.
You get in through the browser. Setup is nine guided steps saved on the server — you can drop it halfway and continue from your phone — and there is no mail server to configure: every guest email leaves from bookfer's domain with your inbox as reply-to.
Yes. Every published site takes its own hostname, and each language variant can have its own. LinkHub also has its own public address, with a printable QR code.
No, and that is on purpose. The assistant operates impersonating your real identity with a short-lived permission reissued on every call. Before the turn, the tools your user cannot use are taken off the table, and every operation is re-evaluated against the service policy. If access is revoked mid-conversation, the next action fails and the assistant explains why.
Setup is guided and asks for no card. If you would rather have us alongside for loading rooms — the step that costs the most — we do it on a short call.
01You sign up and load the property.
02We load the rooms together if you want.
03You publish your site and your booking link.
