Hotel software for Murree, Swat and the Northern Areas
StayOye is hotel management software made in Pakistan for hotels, guest houses and cottage resorts in Murree, the Galyat, Naran-Kaghan, Swat, Hunza and Skardu. It handles short peak seasons, cottages and huts as units, and owners who manage from another city. The web app needs internet; the mobile app queues housekeeping updates when there's no signal and syncs them when it returns.
Up here the season is short and every night counts. Sell the same cottage twice in July and you lose a family's trust — and a review. StayOye keeps your rooms, money and staff in one place, even when you're running things from Lahore or Islamabad.

Murree & Galyat
Nathia Gali, Ayubia, Bhurban: summer weekends and Eid holidays are the busiest, and snowfall weekends bring a winter rush. Short stays, lots of walk-ins and phone bookings from families driving up from the plains.
Naran-Kaghan
A summer-only season in many places, with hotels busy for a few months and quiet or closed in winter.
Swat
Mingora, Kalam, Malam Jabba: a summer valley season, plus winter visitors for snow around Malam Jabba.
Hunza & Skardu
Summer and autumn bring domestic and foreign tourists; longer stays, more advance bookings, more Booking.com and Airbnb listings.
For every one of these: set season and Eid prices by date, add minimum stay for peak weekends, and use stop-sell when phone bookings fill you up. Block the whole property in the off months so nothing is sold by mistake.
Weak signal
Weak signal: the honest version
StayOye's web app needs internet, so keep your reception on a working connection. The mobile app helps your housekeeping team in patchy areas: cottage-cleaned updates are queued on the phone and synced when signal returns. Bookings, check-ins and payments need a connection.

Cottages, huts and hotel rooms
Many northern properties aren't one building
Set up each cottage, hut or tent as a unit under a room type, and see them all on the calendar and room rack. Families who take three huts get one group booking. Huts out of use for repairs go out of order and stop selling.

Running it from the city
The owner is in Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi
Owners often live in the city and visit during the season. Your manager on site books guests, records CNIC or passport, and logs payments by method — cash, bank transfer or mobile wallet. You see arrivals, collections and outstanding balances on your phone. On Professional, payroll handles seasonal staff salaries and advances.

Hunza and Skardu on Booking.com and Airbnb
Listed online? Keep the calendars in step
Booking.com ● ● → Lodge ← ● ● Airbnb
If your cottages or guest house rooms are listed on Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo, Professional syncs calendars by iCal. It runs on a schedule, not instantly, so close same-day bookings on the other site too. Booking.com usually offers calendar sync to homes and single-unit listings rather than multi-room hotels.
