For STR operators in India
Run your properties.
Not your inbox.
BetterBnB replaces the WhatsApp group, the Excel sheet, and the daily phone calls with one platform built for India's short-term rental market.
Built and run on 7 properties across JP Nagar, Gottigere, and Anjanapura. We use this every day before we sell it to you.
Sound familiar?
Your caretaker says the room is ready. You have no way to verify.
Guest enquiries arrive on WhatsApp and get buried before you follow up.
Airbnb takes 15% on every booking you worked hard to get.
You're buying cleaning supplies from memory — and running out at the wrong time.
Every operator we spoke to in Bangalore was running their properties this way. It works until it doesn't — and it usually breaks in front of a guest.
How it works
Verify before every check-in
Your caretaker submits before and after photos from their phone. Each photo gets a timestamp and location pin automatically. You approve from the dashboard, or flag it and send it back.
Capture every enquiry
Log enquiries from WhatsApp, Airbnb, or direct referrals as they arrive. Every lead has a status (new, contacted, quote sent, booked) and you can see all of them on one screen. No more digging through chat history.
Send a quote that looks professional
Fill in the dates and guest count. The quote calculates GST, security deposit, and early check-in fees on its own. Send the link to the guest and record payments as they arrive.
From our own properties
Not mockups. This is the dashboard we check every morning on our own properties.
Before & after turnover
A real check-out clean at our Gottigere unit. Timestamped, location-tagged, approved in 4 minutes.
Staleness heatmap
7 properties, at a glance. Property names blurred but the colours are live — green means verified, red means overdue.
Generated quote PDF
GST, deposit, and early check-in calculated automatically. Guests get a link; we get paid on time.
Everything in one place
Get bookings without the commission
Lead CRM
Every enquiry has a status (new, contacted, quote sent, booked) and a source. Filter and sort. You can see immediately what went cold and when.
Quotes & payments
Branded PDF quotes with GST auto-calculation. Record payments by bank transfer, UPI, or cash. Export receipts. Full history per booking.
SEO property page
Publish your listings on betterbnb.in. Guests find you on Google and book directly over WhatsApp — no commission.
Know the work actually happened
Photo verification
Caretakers submit before and after photos for every task. You approve or flag from the dashboard. Six months later, you can still pull up exactly what was done and when.
Staleness monitor
A colour-coded heatmap shows which properties haven't had a verified clean recently. Catch problems before guests do.
Inventory tracking
Set expected counts per property. Caretakers count actual items during each visit. You see what is running low before you find out the hard way.
Task management
Assign turnover, deep-clean, and maintenance tasks to caretakers with due dates and required photo counts.
Verification badge
Every listing shows "Verified clean — last inspected X ago." The timestamp comes from your caretaker's last submission, not from you filling in a field.

Common questions
- Does this replace Airbnb?
- No. Airbnb keeps bringing you guests. BetterBnB handles the enquiries Airbnb never sees — the WhatsApp messages, the repeat guests, the referrals. On those bookings, there's no platform taking a cut.
- Can other operators see my data?
- No. Your guest list, revenue figures, and caretaker records are private. The public site only shows the listings you choose to publish.
- What if I want to leave?
- Your data exports. We don't hold your history hostage.
