Guesthouses and furnished flats in Lebanon β€” Batroun, Byblos, Faraya and the Chouf, and who to ask

In Lebanon, hosts let mountain guesthouses in the Chouf and Jezzine, sea-front flats in Batroun and Byblos, ski chalets in Faraya and Mzaar, and furnished apartments in Beirut to visitors and the diaspora coming home for the summer. Before you take guests, ask the Ministry of Tourism and your municipality what applies to your guesthouse or flat. Mekavo Stay gives you your own booking page in Arabic, French and English, season prices for summer and ski weekends, and a calendar linked with Airbnb and Booking.com.

Mekavo is software, not a regulator. Tourism establishments, guesthouses included, are a matter for the Ministry of Tourism; your municipality and building rules apply too. Guests pay you directly β€” in cash, by transfer or online where it works β€” and Mekavo takes nothing.

Why is it free?

πŸ’Ό

Paid for by our other software

Mekavo earns from the tools other businesses pay for. Stay is free for hosts β€” every feature, every place, your whole team. If that ever changes, we will tell you well ahead of time.

πŸ’·

Never a cut of your booking

Guests pay you directly β€” cash, bank transfer or the payment apps people use where you are. Mekavo takes nothing.

🀝

Your guests stay yours

Your page, your guests' phone numbers, your reviews on your own Google listing. Nothing is hidden behind a platform.

How it works

1

Add your place

Photos, rooms, price a night, house times. Choose whether guests see the street, or only the area until you accept them.

2

Link your calendars

Paste your Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo calendar link once. A night booked anywhere is closed everywhere.

3

Share your page

Switch your booking page on and send the link. Guests ask to book in their own language β€” no account needed.

4

Answer in a tap

Accept on your phone and send your answer on WhatsApp β€” already written in the guest's language β€” then the arrival info.

β˜€οΈ Your day on one screen

Open Today and see who arrives, who leaves, who is staying and which place to clean β€” across every place you have.

πŸ“… Bookings without double bookings

Keep the sites you already use. Mekavo reads their calendars and shares yours, so every night is in one place.

πŸ—οΈ Guests who feel looked after

Everything a guest needs, in their language, on the WhatsApp or Telegram they already use.

πŸ’³ Your money, your rules

Write down what was agreed and what was paid, and let guests pay online straight to you.

βœ… Proof your place is real

Guests worry a place is not what the photos show. Each proof carries its date; the on-the-spot check and the filming fade after a year unless you renew them.

Questions hosts ask

Is Mekavo Stay really free?

Yes. Every feature, every place and as many people on your team as you need, with no commission on your bookings. Mekavo is paid for by its other software. If that ever changes, we will tell you well ahead of time.

Do I have to leave Airbnb or Booking.com?

No. Link their calendars and a night booked there is closed on your page, and the other way round. Many hosts keep them and take direct bookings with no commission on the side.

Who do my guests pay β€” me or Mekavo?

You. In cash, by bank transfer, or online through your own payment account where one works in your country. Mekavo never holds your guests' money.

Can my cleaner use it without seeing my guests' details?

Yes. Invite them as a cleaner: they see the places and the times to clean, and their checklist β€” never guests' phone numbers, bookings or money.

Will my home address be public?

Only if you choose. By default guests see the town and area; the full address is sent to a guest once you accept them.

Does Mekavo register my guests with the authorities or pay my taxes?

No. Where your country requires a guest report or a registration number, Stay reminds you and keeps the record, but you file it yourself, on the official service.

Does my guesthouse in the Chouf need a licence?

Ask the Ministry of Tourism what applies to your guesthouse before your first booking.

Can I set different prices for summer and ski season?

Yes. Set season prices and minimum nights on each place; the total is suggested for every new booking.

Can guests read my page in French?

Yes. Your page and arrival information are in Arabic, French and English, and each guest reads them in their own language.
