About this app

Rukiye Zara is a hospitality platform for boutique homestays and short-term rentals in India — built for hosts running their property like a business, and for guests looking for a genuine, handpicked stay.

Are you a GUEST? Explore curated boutique stays, book securely through the app, get instant confirmation, and enjoy your stay — with zero commission or hidden fees added to your price.

Whichever you're here for, this app is built for you.

FOR HOSTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏠 YOUR OWN BOOKING WEBSITE
Get a white-label website for your property — your name, your domain, your brand. Guests book directly with you. No middleman, no commission cut on every reservation.

📅 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMS)
Manage reservations, availability, pricing, and guest details from a single dashboard. See everything at a glance — no more juggling spreadsheets and notebooks.

🔄 CHANNEL MANAGER
Sync your calendar across platforms so you never get double-booked. Update availability once, and it reflects everywhere.

💬 WHATSAPP AUTOMATION
Automatic booking confirmations, check-in directions, and review reminders sent straight to your guests on WhatsApp — the channel Indian guests actually respond to. Save hours every week on manual follow-ups.

⭐ OTA REVIEW MANAGEMENT
Keep track of your reviews across platforms in one place, and respond faster to protect your ratings and reputation.

💰 BUILT TO SAVE YOU MONEY
Every booking through your own website means more of the revenue stays with you. Flexible plans to fit hosts at every stage — from a single homestay to a growing portfolio.

✅ GET INSTANT CONFIRMATION
Receive your booking confirmation and all check-in details right away — no waiting, no back-and-forth.

WHY HOSTS CHOOSE RUKIYE ZARA
