Questions hostel owners ask us
Is Homly designed for hostel management?
Yes. Homly supports hostel management with bed/room tracking, group WhatsApp reminders, food billing, maintenance requests, and a warden-friendly dashboard. It's used by hostel operators across India for student and working professional accommodations.
Can I manage student hostels and working-professional hostels both?
Yes. Homly works for any shared accommodation — student hostels, working professional hostels, PGs, and serviced units. The workflows around rent, food, maintenance, and WhatsApp reminders apply to all of them.
How does rent collection work for hostels?
Homly automates rent reminders via WhatsApp before and on the due date. Tenants can reply with payment screenshots — AI reads the screenshot and notifies you to approve or reject in one tap. All payments are tracked with a complete audit trail.
Do hostel tenants need an app or account?
No. Tenants receive WhatsApp reminders automatically with no app needed. For viewing dues and submitting maintenance requests, they access a simple web portal via a link — no account creation or app installation required.

Can I manage hostels in multiple cities from one dashboard?
