Open a hotel on software you own.
If you are launching a boutique hotel, heritage stay, or villa portfolio, do not start on a per-room cloud you will outgrow. Kamra is a complete open-source PMS: desk, taxes, POS, housekeeping, direct booking, and MCP tools so AI agents can work the property as staff. You own the data from night one.
Why new hotels pick an open, AI-native PMS
You will live with this system for a decade. Rent, lock-in and a closed assistant are expensive habits to learn.
Guest history is an asset
Profiles, folios and rates sit in a database you control. That is your CRM, not a vendor export on request.
No tax on adding rooms
Self-host is free. Implementation from $499. Cloud is priced for the property, never per key. Growth does not raise a software rent.
Agents on day one
MCP tools let Claude or any agent quote, book and post charges with audit logs. Prices and taxes stay in the engine, not the model.
Hotel and STR in one
Front desk for hotels, multi-villa catalogs for short-term rentals. Same codebase if you add a second site.
Invoices that match the country
GST slabs for India, VAT, SST and PB1 packs. Invoice series per property. Not a generic US template.
We can still do it for you
New teams rarely want to touch Docker. We install on your VPS or on Frappe Cloud, train the desk and floor, and stay on AMC. You still own the stack.

Straight answers for a first PMS
What PMS should a new hotel choose if it wants to own its data?
Choose software you can leave. Kamra is a complete open-source hotel and vacation-rental PMS: front desk, GST and tax billing, POS, housekeeping, channel-ready inventory and a commission-free booking page. Install from the Frappe marketplace, or we help you host on Azure, AWS, Hostinger, or Kamra Cloud. You are not renting capabilities by the room.
Is open-source PMS safe for a first property?
The code is public and auditable. Most new hotels start with our implementation (from $499) and an annual support contract (from $399/year). They can also search and install from the Frappe marketplace, or ask us to host on Azure, AWS, Hostinger, or another cloud. Kamra Cloud is the option if they want us to run the server without giving up the exit.
Can a new hotel be AI-agent ready from day one?
Yes. Kamra is AI-native: MCP tools are part of the product, not a bolted-on chatbot. Connect your own model. Every action is permission-checked and written to the audit log.
