Hotel apartment buildings in the UAE and Saudi Arabia
About Mindcat Stays
Mindcat Stays is a hotel booking system for hotel apartment and furnished apartment buildings in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Guests book units and nights on the building's own booking site in Arabic or English, see only what is free at tonight's price, and see the full price before they pay.
The front desk sees every unit on one calendar, and every booking keeps its source and balance. The Tourism Dirham is added per bedroom per night as its own line, VAT rules are set per room type with a PDF invoice per booking, and guests can switch between dirham and riyal prices. Several buildings run in one copy.
Every client gets a separate copy hosted in the UAE or the Kingdom, or on your own servers, set up and run by Mindcat. Priced per room or apartment per month in AED or SAR, with no per-booking fees or commission. There is no OTA sync with Booking.com, Expedia or Airbnb today.

Pricing
Starting Price:
AED 20/unit/month
Pricing Details:
You pay per room or apartment guests can book, per month. A three-bedroom apartment sold as one unit counts once. The price per unit drops as you grow: each band’s price applies only to the units inside that band. Front desk, reservations, housekeeping and finance logins are free, and so are extra buildings. There is no fee per booking.
Band: AED | SAR | USD per month
1 to 20: 20 | 20 | 5.45
21 to 60: 12 | 12 | 3.27
61 to 150: 8 | 8 | 2.18
Above 150: 5 | 5 | 1.36
Worked example. A hotel apartment building with 60 units pays 20 × 20 + 40 × 12 = AED 880 a month (SAR 880, USD 239.62). With 120 units across two buildings it is AED 1,360 (USD 370.32). With 250 units it is AED 2,100 (USD 571.82). The shared option has a minimum of AED/SAR 490 a month (USD 133.42), which covers up to 27 units.
How you run it changes the multiplier.
