B&B.
Do you run a bed and breakfast, guest house or small guest accommodation? Lyra is a booking system developed for those who want a smooth, professional and simple booking system that matches the reality of small accommodation. Here you do not have to adapt to complicated hotel routines, instead it is the system that adapts to you.
We know that running a bed and breakfast often involves many roles. You're a host, a cleaner, a breakfast manager, a marketer, and sometimes all in the same day. That's why we've created a booking system that's easy to use, easy to get started with, and smart enough to manage both guests, payments, and options from one platform.
Customised for bed and breakfast.
We had your business as a target.
Running a bed and breakfast is so much more than offering a place to sleep. You invite guests to your home, your farm or your place in the world, and they expect warmth, charm and simplicity. The personal touch is often what makes them choose you over a larger hotel. But it also means that the booking experience needs to feel as easy and safe as the rest of their stay.
Lyra is a bed and breakfast booking system designed to give you and your guests a better experience. It's easy to use, works equally well on mobile phones and computers, and allows you to keep track of bookings, payments and guest communications wherever you are.
Our solution is perfect for small properties that want to combine personality with professionalism. No more guessing which guests are coming, double-checking bookings or juggling different systems. Lyra gives you a clear overview and lets you focus on what you love. Taking care of your guests.
A system that matches your reality.
Most booking systems on the market are built for large hotel chains. With features, settings and flows to suit 50 rooms, conference departments and multi-shift staff. But if you run a bed and breakfast, you work in a completely different way and have different needs.
Maybe you have three or four rooms, maybe just a couple. Maybe it's your home you share with guests. Maybe you do everything yourself, from breakfast trays and bed-making to customer contact and marketing. If so, you need a small accommodation booking system that is easy to understand, quick to use, and doesn't require hours of learning or technical knowledge.
Lyra is a digital booking system developed with small-scale accommodation in mind. It gives you:
- A clear calendar where you can see the booking status in real time
Easy management of different room types, pricing and seasonality. - Automatic emails and SMS to guests before arrival, so you don't have to send everything manually.
- Gathered guest information so that you are always in control, whether the guest books directly on your website or via another channel.
Everything is done in one system so you don't have to keep multiple tabs open, flip through notebooks or search your inbox. You get a simple booking system that gives you control, security and more time for your guests.
The system is completely cloud-based, which means you don't need a dedicated computer or installed software. You just log in from your mobile phone, tablet or computer and manage everything from bookings to payments and communications. It doesn't matter if you're on site, travelling or in the middle of preparing breakfast.
This is the booking system for those who want to be able to book bed and breakfast guests quickly and easily without compromising on professionalism.
Your B&B is longing for Lyra.
User-friendly for both you and guests.
For those who run a bed and breakfast, it is important that the guest feels welcome from the first contact and often this is via an online booking. A complicated booking page can lead to the guest clicking through to someone else, while a clear and smooth experience increases the chance that the booking will actually be made.
With Lyra, you get a booking engine that integrates directly into your website, neatly, easily and mobile-friendly. Whether your guest is booking from a laptop in Stockholm, a tablet in Berlin or a mobile phone at a roadside café in Dalarna, everything works exactly as it should. It's fast, it looks professional and it feels safe.
For you as a bed and breakfast owner, this means that:
- Bookings appear directly in the system - no manual handling.
- Double bookings are automatically avoided, even if you are on multiple booking platforms.
- You get a clean and clear overview - all guests, bookings and details in one place.
Lyra is a system that gives your guests a good first impression. When the guest can book the bed and breakfast online quickly and without confusion, it sets the tone for the rest of their stay.
What about you? You don't have to enter bookings by hand, double-check the calendar or miss important information. Everything is taken care of automatically, leaving you more time to focus on the personalised hospitality that makes your bed and breakfast special.
Let the platform do the work.
Bookings, payments and communication in one place.
Lyra is a complete tool for your entire business. From the first click on the booking button to the follow-up after the guest has gone home, everything you need is gathered in a single, easy-to-use interface. A booking system for small businesses that feels both professional and personalised. Here you not only manage bookings, but also:
- Payments (card, Swish, online, invoice).
- Guest communication.
- Statistics and revenue overview.
- Automatic synchronisation with other booking channels.
- ... and much more.
You decide how and when you want your guests to pay. Perhaps prepayment is best to secure bookings during the high season? Or maybe you want to offer payment on the spot for that extra cosy feeling? Whatever your preference, you can easily set it up in the system.
With a booking system that already has bed and breakfast payment solutions integrated, there's no need for external apps, manual bank transfers or confused guests. Everything happens automatically while you stay in control. And if you ever want to change your routines? You can do it in seconds without having to contact support or read manuals.
Charging for bed and breakfast can be as easy as making coffee. And that's exactly how we built Lyra - to fit your everyday life, your guests and the way you work.
Automation saves time.
Most people who run a bed and breakfast do so from the heart but also with limited resources. There is often one, maybe two people who handle everything from laundry and shopping to guest contact and cleaning. So it's crucial to be able to streamline bookings and avoid repetitive tasks. With us, you get smart automation that works in the background while you do other things. The system knows when it's time to:
- Send out an automatic booking confirmation.
- Remind the guest of the check-in time.
- Share important information about breakfast times, parking or Wi-Fi.
- Follow up with a friendly thank you email after your stay.
You set everything up once and the system takes care of the rest. This is bed and breakfast automation at its best: practical, personalised and professional, without feeling impersonal to the guest.
With digital tools for bed and breakfasts, you don't have to write the same emails over and over again, never miss sending out important information, sit with your mobile phone late at night to answer guests. Instead, you can rely on the system to take care of the small, but oh-so-important, details so you can focus on hosting.
A simple booking system with automated guest communication means that guests feel well looked after, get a timely response and don't have to wonder what's going on. And it gives you peace of mind knowing that nothing falls through the cracks.
Breakfast, optional and additional services.
A bed and breakfast is often a complete experience where the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning, a bike ride in the surroundings or a personal guided tour of the favourite places are part of the whole. And that's why it's so valuable to be able to add options in the booking system that make your bed and breakfast extra memorable.
With Lyra you can let the guest book
- Breakfast - choose between different options and price levels
- Bicycle hire
- Paddling trips
- Picnic baskets
- Wood-fired sauna
- Farm products
- Guided tours
- Yoga session
- Craft workshops
- Extra cleaning
- Early check-in or late check-out.
You decide what is bookable and how it is presented. You can set different prices depending on the season, number of people or day of the week. You can limit the number of places if you only have a certain number of bikes or breakfast trays.
For the guest, it is clear what is on offer at the time of booking. This creates security and means that more people actually book optional extras in advance. For you, it means that you do not have to handle additions manually afterwards. Everything lands directly in the system together with the guest's room booking.
This is a flexible bed and breakfast booking system that lets you sell what you want, your way. And it gives you an extra opportunity to generate revenue while giving guests a more complete stay.
So whether you offer breakfast on booking, home-grown tomatoes, freshly picked berries, a paddle board by the lake or a tour of meadow flowers. Lyra helps you make it bookable, visible and convenient.
Let the platform do the work.
Channel manager that updates everything in real time.
Today, guests book their accommodation in many different ways. Via big sites like Booking.com, Airbnb or Expedia, through Google searches or directly via your own website. For bed and breakfasts, this means that bookings can come from several sources at once. And without the right system, it can get messy fast.
With Lyra, you don't have to cut and paste between different booking platforms. Our system has a built-in bed and breakfast channel manager, which means that all bookings, rates and availability are automatically synchronised in real time.
As soon as someone books a room via Airbnb, for example, the booking lands directly with you, availability is updated in all other channels and you avoid the risk of double bookings.
You'll never have to log in to three different sites at once again
You simply get a booking system with integrations that work in the background and keep things organised for you without extra manual effort.
Do you want to change the price for the Midsummer weekend? Do it in Lyra and it will be disseminated to all channels immediately. Want to block a room for private use? That's easy. One click and it's synchronised everywhere.
This allows you to stay visible where your guests are looking without having to deal with the chaos behind the scenes. And the best part? You still have full control. All bookings, no matter where they come from, land in your overview. You can treat them just like regular bookings with the same automated emails, options and payment settings.
For you, it means more visibility, fewer misses and a smoother workday. For the guest, it means a professional and seamless booking flow.
Full control with statistics & reports.
Want to know which rooms are most booked? Which dates go the fastest? Or how much revenue each month is generating? With Lyra's built-in statistics, you get a clear picture of how your business is doing without having to do any calculations yourself.
It gives you better control and helps you make smarter decisions.
Support that understands your business and everyday life.
Lyra is developed in Sweden with small and medium-sized accommodation in mind. That means you get support that really understands what it's like to run a bed and breakfast in the countryside, in the city, on an island or along a dirt road. You get personalised help when you need it and we're always an email or phone call away. 24 hours a day!
Easy to get started with.
Changing systems or starting a new one can be a hassle. But we promise: Lyra is made to be easy. We'll help you every step of the way. We'll show you how to add rooms, prices and booking conditions, we'll help you connect your website, you'll get access to guides, instructional videos and support
Most bed and breakfasts are up and running in just a few days, ready to take bookings straight away.
Choose a booking system that fits you and your guest.
Lyra is scalable and customisable - whether you run a small 3-room bed and breakfast or a larger establishment. Do you want to be open all year round or only during the summer season? Lyra follows you - not the other way round.
You choose how you want to work, and Lyra makes it easy: all bookings, payments, additional services and guest relations are managed in the same cloud-based system. This means you can work with clear flows, easily make price adjustments and keep all information up-to-date without duplicating work.
With Lyra, you're supported from day one - the system is intuitive to learn and equally functional for a small family-run bed and breakfast as for businesses with many types of rooms and guests. Focus on what you're passionate about - creating experiences and welcoming atmospheres - while the technology does the work behind the scenes.
