Vivestay started where most honest software starts: with someone who had to do the work. Our first operator is a real accommodation business — MSM Rentals — whose day-to-day traveller registration shaped every workflow in the product. Not as a design exercise: as the actual routine of hosting real guests under real rules.

That origin shows. Vivestay does not try to be a property-management system, a channel manager or a messaging hub — good tools for those exist, and Vivestay connects to them instead. It does one legally critical thing properly: collecting the traveller data the law requires, validating it, preparing the report, and keeping the record straight.

The product is developed and operated by a small European software team, launching first with accommodation operators in Spain and Cyprus. It is an independent platform: not tied to any single booking channel, property type or operator, and built API-first so it fits into your stack rather than replacing it.

Principles

What we hold ourselves to

  • Honesty about compliance status

    The product always shows the true state of every registration and report — collected, validated, reported, acknowledged. No ambiguity, no surprises.

  • Privacy by design

    Only legally required data, strict per-organization isolation, statutory retention, then scheduled anonymisation and deletion.

  • API-first, integration-friendly

    Everything meaningful is available through a documented API and signed webhooks — the console is a client, not a cage.

  • Built with operators, not at them

    Early-access operators shape the roadmap. If a feature does not survive contact with a real front desk, it does not ship.
