HostelPalika
Visit hostelpalika.comHostel management that replaces the register and the group chat.
Most hostels run on a register, a calculator and a WhatsApp group. It works until it doesn't: a room is double-booked, a fee is remembered differently by two people, and nobody can say what last month actually came to.
HostelPalika is the record everyone works from.
What it is for
- Rooms and residents — who is in which room, since when, and on what terms
- Fees — what is due, what was paid, and what is outstanding, without a spreadsheet per month
- Records — the history that answers a question three months later, when memory has moved on
- Guardians — parents kept informed without being given the run of the system
Built for how hostels here actually run
Bikram Sambat dates, because that is what the month is called. Payment through eSewa, Khalti or bank QR, because that is how people pay. Charges that change mid-month, students who leave early, and the fee that was settled in cash — all normal, all handled.
