Features

Everything a small property needs, nothing it doesn't

No channel manager complexity, no enterprise menus — the tools a small property actually uses, whether that's a rental house, a homestay, an inn, a resort or a boarding house.

🌐

Your own booking website

A real website with your name on it — your rooms, your photos, your policies, your colours. Guests find you on Google and book without messaging anyone.

🛡️

Double-booking, made impossible

The calendar is enforced by the database itself — not by hoping everyone checked first. Overnight stays, day tours and maintenance blocks all count against the same room, so two guests can never hold one bed.

The headline feature
💬

Messenger booking links

A guest asks in chat, you send one link — dates, room and price already filled in. They tap, confirm, and the booking lands in your calendar without anyone retyping a thing.

💵

GCash and bank transfer, done properly

Your GCash QR and account details on the booking page. The guest uploads their payment screenshot, you verify it against the amount owed — side by side, on your phone. No card machine, no gateway fees.

📱

One-screen booking entry

Most bookings start in chat — so recording one takes seconds. Guest name, dates, room, GCash screenshot attached, saved as confirmed. Built for a phone, because that's where you are.

📜

Rebooking, not cancellation

The policy model PH guests actually expect — move the dates, keep the deposit. Your policy is written once and shown identically on your website, the FAQ, checkout and the confirmation, so it can never contradict itself in a dispute.

🏷️

Senior and PWD discounts built in

The 20% discount under RA 9994 and RA 10754, applied to the qualified guest's own share and shown on the bill automatically — a legal obligation no foreign booking tool handles.

☀️

Day-use and overnight on one calendar

Sell the afternoon swim session without risking the evening check-in. Day tours, night tours and overnight stays share one calendar, with your turnover time between them enforced automatically.

📊

A console that answers the day

Who arrives tonight, who hasn't paid, which rooms are free this week — on one screen. A room-by-room timeline calendar, guest bills, occupancy and revenue reports, and logins for your spouse or front desk with the right permissions.

🔄

Travel-site calendar sync

Keep your Booking.com or Airbnb listing — calendars sync both ways, so their bookings block your rooms and yours block theirs. Direct stays grow beside the OTAs, not instead of them.

Easier shown than told

The fastest way to judge Balay is to use it — open the live demo property as a guest, then let us walk you through the owner's side of the same booking.
