Staymulate

Autopilot for your boutique stay.
You expand the business. Staymulate runs the operations.

For 1-19 room boutique villas, homestays, cottages, and small hotels. AI handles daily ops within bounds you set — guest replies, dynamic pricing, marketing posts you approve, review responses. You stay in command.

Which describes you?

Self-managed

You run all the OTAs yourself. Double-bookings happen. Pricing is a guess. Cost visibility is monthly bank statements.

Leaving a management company

You’re with a national property-management chain. The commission is too high or the rate is degraded for volume. You want your property back — with a clear-eyed plan for which OTA reviews transfer and which don’t.

Boutique hotel (up to 19 rooms)

Independent operator. Pro tier with assisted onboarding. Same autopilot promise, with the operational depth a small hotel needs.

Founder-built. No testimonials yet.

Staymulate is built and validated against Corbett Calling — the founder’s own 6-room villa in the Corbett valley — before any other property uses it. Akas Resorts (the founder’s registered proprietorship that owns Corbett) is Staymulate’s first paying customer; Staymulate the company is in incorporation.

Independent customer testimonials will appear here as paying customers join. Until then, we’re honest about it.

How autopilot works.

  1. One-time setup at onboarding (about 5-7 hours across your first week). You approve: pricing bounds per room-type, sales reply policy, marketing campaign templates, review response templates (one per star rating), and your repeat-guest outreach cadence.
  2. Daily ops on autopilot. AI executes within your approved policy. Guests get 30-second acknowledgments. Rates flow to OTAs. Marketing posts you approved earlier publish at the scientifically-best time of day.
  3. Weekly review. You spend 30-45 minutes a week reviewing the digest. You approve outside-policy exceptions. Owner override always wins.

What the software layer saves vs a management company.

Management companies charge 25-30% of revenue and bundle the platform layer (channel manager, content, pricing, comms, compliance) with the people layer (staff hiring, vendor calls, brand, emergency response on the ground). Staymulate is the platform layer at a flat monthly fee. Numbers below use realistic Indian boutique-villa benchmarks: 50% occupancy, Rs 35,000 whole-night ADR for whole-property villas, Rs 7,000/room for boutique hotels.

Software handles 60-70% of a management company’s operational layer:

  • Channel management + multi-OTA reconciliation
  • AI guest replies + dynamic pricing within your bounds
  • Compliance + data-rights + statutory filings
  • Content scheduling + voice booking + F&B + events

You retain 30-40% — typically 10-25 hours/week:

  • 2-5 hours of structured weekly review
  • Remainder is on-call escalation response
  • Hiring + firing staff, vendor calls, ground-level emergencies
  • Brand direction, final pricing outside bounds, supplier relationships

We do not replace the management company for that 30-40% — you do, with our tools. If you’re leaving one, we have a 4-phase transition playbook →

The four services.

Revenue intelligence

Dynamic pricing within your bounds. You set the policy (min, max, weekend, festival, monsoon) once at onboarding. AI auto-applies rates to OTAs, watches every approved discount for uplift opportunity, and surfaces exceptions for your 1-tap review. Owner override always wins.

Operations automation

AI guest replies within 30 seconds (acknowledgment) + within your policy (quote). Multi-OTA channel sync — one inbox, no double-bookings. Inbound voice agent (optional add-on) with per-property hyper-local emergency context. Marketing posts you approve days before publish.

Staff capability + property playbook

Living playbook that grows with the property. WhatsApp-first staff workflow in the staff’s own language (Hindi, Hinglish, English, Bahasa, Thai, Tagalog, Arabic, more). Workload smoother surfaces patterns to your weekly digest. Per-staff consent capture for every market.

F&B + events Pro

For villas with restaurants, cafes, bars, or banquet operations within the 19-room ceiling. POS + KOT per outlet, banquet event manager with AI-assisted event-fit suggestion, cross-outlet stock with same-owner gate.
