Booking system for campsites, glamping and hotels – Sauna, kayaks and bikes guests book themselves

Yes – Rentalbuddy runs beside the system you already use for cabins, pitches and rooms, for what guests and day visitors book by the hour or the day. Guests book the sauna, kayaks, SUPs, bikes or e-bikes, with battery-powered locks on the kayak rack or the bike stand and a key box by the sauna door, so there is nothing to wire up.

Why not sell it in your campsite system? If yours can sell the sauna as an extra but can't make a lock code for each booking, someone still has to hand over a key or give out one shared code. With Rentalbuddy every booking gets its own code that works only around its time, so guests and day visitors can book and get in after reception has closed. Already get door codes for your cabins from your campsite or hotel system? Then compare how it handles what guests book by the hour: with Rentalbuddy, day visitors who never check in can book and pay for a sauna session, someone passing by books from the QR code at the lock, each kayak or bike is booked on its own so you never sell more than you have, and a shared woodshed or bike shed gives every booking its own code too.

Your whole campsite or hotel can be one location on your plan: the sauna by the shore, the kayaks on the beach and the bikes at reception share one booking page. Each sauna, kayak or bike that guests book on its own counts as one lock. A sauna and 4 kayaks are 5 locks – Starter, 299 SEK a month excl. VAT, with room for one shared locker for paddles and life jackets. Add 6 bikes and the 11 locks need Growth: 599 + 3 × 120 = 959 SEK a month, or 797 SEK billed yearly – every month of the year, also while you're closed. No commission; on top come Stripe's fee per payment, Igloohome's code fee of about 20 SEK per lock a month and the locks, bought once – about €160 each in Igloohome's EU shop (October 2026). A padlock or key box you already have can start as a manual lock with a fixed code.

Everything at one location shares its opening hours, its pick-up and return times and the break between bookings. Kayaks that must be back before dark while the sauna stays open until 22:00? Give them a location of their own – a second location needs Growth, which has no limit on locations. What could a sauna, 4 kayaks and 6 bikes bring in?

Both work, with one caveat: there's no guest login, so anyone with your booking link can book. Is the sauna for your own guests only? Make the cabin, room or pitch number a required question and cancel and refund any booking that doesn't match a guest. Or open it to day visitors at your full price, and give your guests a promo code for less – up to 100% off, with an end date and a cap on how many times it can be used, so it doesn't spread to day visitors.

The Directions button in their confirmation email leads them to your location's pin, so put it at the sauna or your visitor parking. Rentalbuddy doesn't open entrance barriers: if visitors must pass one, ask them in your confirmation text to park outside and walk in, or give them the barrier code there.

Lock each bike to the stand with a code padlock and a steel cable through the frame, or keep them in a bike shed with one Igloohome lock on the door. Every booking then gets its own code for the door, and Rentalbuddy still books each bike on its own, so you buy one lock instead of six. The trade-off: a guest's code opens the whole shed around their booking. 6 bikes and the shed door count as 7 locks on your plan, but Igloohome's code fee is only for the one lock on the door. Charging e-bikes between rentals? Leave a break after each booking, and keep the helmets in the same shed.

Wood-fired, guests light the stove themselves; electric, Rentalbuddy can start a Harvia heater on a Fenix control panel before each paid booking (beta). At Strandstuviken, guests can also phone between 1 April and 31 August and ask the staff to heat the wood-fired sauna before they arrive. Plan sessions long enough to heat up and enjoy – often 2–3 hours – with a break after each booking. How heater control works · Sauna booking system
