What changes when reception lives on a phone
Three things change the day a front-desk manager stops being tied to a desktop. We go through each one.
Flakk is the property system for independent hotels, guesthouses and apartment buildings in Iceland. Calendar, channels, invoices and the guest register in one place, plus a guest phone line that answers at 3 a.m., says up front that it is an AI, and hands the call to your on-call person when it should.
Including properties with no reception desk at all. Works with the channels and acquirers Icelandic properties already use: Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Teya, Straumur and Rapyd.
Start with the core system. Add the operations tools when the team grows. Hand the desk to Flakk when nights and weekends are the hard part.
Calendar, booking engine, channel manager, guest emails and payments through your own Icelandic acquirer. Everything a property needs to run reception, from a phone if that is where you are.
A housekeeping board the team actually uses, maintenance tickets with photos, rate suggestions you approve with one tap, and a Monday readout that needs no spreadsheet.
An AI guest line with real people behind it. It tells every caller that it is an AI and that the call is recorded, sends door codes by SMS instead of reading them out, and warm-transfers to your on-call person when it cannot solve the problem. Add our revenue and channel people when you want them.
Pick what your operation needs. One login, one bill, one place for every booking.
Move a booking to another unit by dragging it. A year ahead at a glance, coloured by channel and status.
Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and more, kept in sync from one calendar so a unit is never sold twice.
Charge, split and refund through Teya, Straumur or Rapyd. Money settles to you; Flakk is only the technical gateway.
Built from your own pickup and demand. Approve with one tap, or ignore them.
OTA messages, email and WhatsApp in one thread per booking, with drafts in the guest’s language.
Units by status, jobs by person, a photo at inspection. Made for the phone in a cleaner’s pocket.
Not bolted on after launch. These are part of how Flakk stores a booking, in every plan.

We are taking a small number of pilot properties. There are no case studies yet, and we will not invent any. Here is what a pilot gets instead:

Small properties leave money on the table because the rules look complicated. They are not. A step-by-step example.
Why drafts in the guest’s language beat a generic auto-reply, and how we built it.
Tell us about your property. We will show you Flakk on your own units and rates, and tell you honestly whether it fits.
