Most "free" hotel software is either a trial in disguise or capped at a handful of rooms. LodgeHog's free plan costs $0 a month, forever, with unlimited rooms, reservations, guests and rate plans.
It's built for guesthouses, B&Bs, hostels, vacation rentals and small hotels that are ready to move off spreadsheets and paper, without adding another monthly bill.
See every room and every stay on one screen.
No caps on units or bookings, whatever the size of your property.
Keep every guest's details and stay history in one place.
As many prices as you need, with bulk editing and opening/closing dates.
Check the calendar and manage reservations from your phone.
No credit card, no expiry date. The free plan stays free.
If the owner runs the front desk, one login is all you need. Keep every booking and guest in one calendar instead of a notebook by the phone.
Choose "Hostel" when you sign up and you set up dorms and the beds inside them. Each bed is booked on its own, so you always know how many beds are free in each room.
Whether you manage one apartment or a dozen, every unit and stay is on the same calendar, with its own prices per season.
Group rooms into categories and price each one separately. If several people work the front desk, you'll want a paid plan, which adds unlimited users with their own permissions.
For a small guesthouse, cost is often what keeps the spreadsheet in use longer than it should be. With the free plan, you manage bookings, rooms and rates with no upfront investment and no monthly fee, right when every dollar counts.
A spreadsheet can't tell you at a glance which rooms are free next weekend. The reservation calendar can.
Every booking, room and guest lives in one place instead of spread across tabs, notebooks and message threads. If you're still weighing it up, see why hotels are moving off reservation spreadsheets.
Unlimited rate plans let you charge differently for different kinds of stays, instead of having one price for every night of the year.
With bulk rate editing you can update a whole season in a few clicks, and open or close dates just as quickly.
When you're ready to sell on Booking.com and Airbnb, take direct bookings on your website or issue invoices, add just those modules. All your reservations, guests and rates stay where they are.
You learn the system now, while things are calm, rather than in the middle of high season.
For your first 14 days you'll also see paid features such as reports and invoices. When the trial ends they switch off, and everything above keeps working.

The free plan covers the essentials: calendar, rooms, guests and rates, for one user. Reports, invoices, room charges, guest messaging by email and WhatsApp, extra users and support are part of the paid plans, from $9.90/month. So are the optional channel manager, booking engine and AI chatbot.
Yes. The free plan, including the iPhone and Android apps, has no time limit and no credit card is required. When you sign up, you also get every paid feature for 14 days. After that, your account simply stays on the free plan unless you choose to upgrade.
No. The free plan includes unlimited units, reservations, guests and rate plans. It works just as well for a single vacation rental as for a hotel with dozens of rooms.
