Two ways in. Pick yours.

I set up software for hotels
Install it free. Get paid for the go-live.
Freelancers, Frappe and ERPNext shops, IT partners: Kamra is AGPL and built on Frappe, so your skills transfer. Install it for clients at no licence cost, charge for setup and support, and earn on hotels you refer to us.
AI-native, not AI-bolted-on
The hotel PMS you can run from Claude.
Kamra ships a hosted MCP server with 85 governed tools across front desk, billing, housekeeping, revenue, night audit, banquets and F&B. Connect Claude in two clicks and it quotes, books, posts charges and runs the night audit as a permission-checked user, with every action in the audit log. Prices and taxes always come from the pricing engine, never from the model.
Book Mr. Rao a deluxe for Fri-Sun with breakfast, and tell housekeeping he's a VIP.
Booked RES-2026-01142 · Deluxe · 2 nights · CP breakfast · ₹9,440 incl. GST. VIP flag set, housekeeping sees it on the floor app.
What's still unpaid from last night's checkouts?
2 folios open · Room 204 ₹3,180 · Room 311 ₹1,240. Want me to send payment links?
Data sovereignty
The case for owning the stack
Kamra is inspectable AGPL-3.0 software. Guest data lives on the server you choose, not a vendor meter. Same complete system if you self-host or we host it.
Total data control
Your database, your backups, your export. No ransom at renewal, no waiting on a vendor to hand you your own books.
No vendor lock-in
Standard Docker and Frappe. Move hosts, fork the code, or leave your partner's hosting whenever you want. Read the case →
One system, the whole property
Everything a property runs on, in one open codebase
Not a trial, not a lite edition. The same complete system whether you self-host or we host it for you, for hotels or short-term rentals.
Front desk
Check-in to checkout
Tape chart, arrivals board, group bookings, room blocks for VIPs and maintenance, waitlists, self check-in links.
Money
Folios, taxes & invoices
Per-line tax from your country's pack (GST, VAT, SST, PB1), split and route bills, night audit, per-property invoice series, GSTR-1 export.
F&B
Restaurant POS + kitchen
Captain ordering, live kitchen display, QR menus guests order from, room posting straight to the folio.
Housekeeping
A real floor app
Task assignment and self-claim, VIP and arrival context, minibar posting, laundry, lost & found, SLA escalations to the manager.
Direct bookings
Your own booking page
Commission-free bookings with live rates, photos, check-in/out search, promo codes, experiences as add-ons, and your brand colour.
Vacation rentals
Villas & multi-site STR
Several villas at different addresses, sold room-wise or whole-house, with deposits, cleaning fees, maps, and a guest catalog that looks like a listing site.
Chains
Multi-property built in
One login, shared guest profiles, central reservations across properties, and a portfolio dashboard.
New · short-term rentals
Hotels and vacation rentals, same open codebase
Set property kind to Short Term Rental and the same PMS becomes a villa portfolio. Hotels keep the classic front desk. Nothing is a separate product or an add-on licence.
Property kind
Hotel or short-term rental
Choose it in the setup wizard or later in Settings. Hotel installs stay on the tape chart and arrivals board. Flip the kind and the guest side becomes a listing catalog.
Catalog
Several villas, one booking site
Each site has its own address, map, photos and rate. Guests browse the portfolio, open a villa, then book a room or the whole place.
Inventory
Sell room-wise or whole-house
Sellable units and competition groups mean booking the villa takes its rooms off sale. Packages sit next to rooms without a second system.
Guest search
Check-in and check-out dates
A real date-range search, adults and children, and a Check availability button. Not a nights spinner copied from a hotel engine.
Money
Cleaning fees and deposits
Cleaning fees and refundable security deposits on the quote. Instant book with holds, or request-to-book, using the same folio engine hotels already run.
One stack
Desk, taxes, POS, agents
Housekeeping, GST and VAT packs, restaurant POS and MCP tools stay in the same build. Add a second villa or a hotel later without migrating.

Questions
Fair questions, straight answers
What is Kamra PMS?
Kamra is an open-source property management system for hotels and vacation rentals. It covers front desk, billing and taxes, restaurant POS, housekeeping, and commission-free direct bookings. Self-host it free under AGPL-3.0, or have a Kamra partner host it.
Is there a hosted version?
Yes. A Kamra partner can host it for you, or install it from the Frappe Cloud Marketplace. You can also self-host free.
Is anything locked behind a paid plan?
No. Every feature in Kamra is open source and included in every install. Hosting, support and connected services that carry third-party licensing costs (like live GST e-invoicing through a licensed provider). Services, not feature gates. The GSTR export files are free for everyone.
Why don't you charge per room?
Because adding rooms doesn't make software cost more. Per-room pricing is a tax on your growth. Cloud pricing scales only with the server your property needs.
What server do I need to self-host?
A 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM / 40 GB SSD VPS runs a full property comfortably. What you pay the host depends on the provider. Step-by-step guides here.
Can I move my hotel to another host later?
Yes. It's your data on open-source software: export everything and self-host any time. That's the point.
Does the AI decide prices or taxes?
Never. Rates, taxes and availability come from a deterministic pricing engine verified by an automated test suite. The AI can only call governed tools, as a permission-checked user, with every action logged.
