Group accommodation booking software
Group accommodation booking software for whole-house weekends.
Hens, stags, big birthdays and reunions book the house direct, split the bill between themselves, and add the hot tub, the chef and the bonfire before they arrive.
In short
Steward is booking software for large holiday houses and group accommodation: estates and country houses that sleep a group and sell the whole house for a weekend. Groups price their stay on your own website, the organiser pays a deposit, everyone else pays their share through a split-the-bill link, and extras like a chef or hot-tub slots are booked in the guest hub.

The tools that do it
What group stays run on.
Venue quotes in minutes, with a deposit link that holds the date.
Build a wedding, retreat or group-stay quote from your own rooms, catalogue and rules. Send it as a page the guest can accept and pay on. Watch when it's opened. The date is held the moment the deposit lands.
More about QuotesEvery booking becomes a page the whole party can see.
The organiser shares a link. Guests join, choose rooms or pods, tell you their dietary needs, book the hot tub, add experiences and see the itinerary. You get the headcount without a spreadsheet.

Questions
Group stays, answered.
- Is this holiday cottage booking software?
- Steward is built for the larger end: houses and estates that sell the whole property to a group, often with extras like catering and experiences. If you let a single cottage by the night, a holiday-let booking tool will suit you better.
- Can each guest pay their own share?
- Yes. The organiser shares one link, each guest pays their share by card, and the organiser can pay off whatever is left. You see who has and hasn't paid on the booking.
- Can I stay on Airbnb?
- Yes. Keep the listing for quiet weeks. Steward imports and exports the calendar by iCal, so a direct booking blocks the Airbnb dates.
