Everything included

Everything a hotel needs, in one place

No add-on modules or per-user fees. Every plan includes the full system.

Live room grid

See every room at a glance — occupied, free, checking out or being cleaned.

Fast check-in

Returning guests are recognised by phone number, so their details fill in automatically.

Calendar & reservations

Take advance bookings and see the weeks ahead. The system blocks double bookings.

Extend & check out

Extend stays, check out early, or clear all overdue rooms in one tap.

Housekeeping & maintenance

Mark rooms for cleaning or repair so nobody gets sent to a room that isn't ready.

Guest receipts

Print a professional receipt or email it to the guest straight away.

Built for here

Made for how hotels in Ethiopia really work

Not foreign software that needs adapting. JHotels is built in Jijiga around nightly rates, walk-in guests, Birr and patchy internet.

Prices in Birr

Rates, receipts and reports in ETB by default. Other currencies are available for hotels that need them.

Your language

This website is available in Somali, Amharic, Afaan Oromo and English.

Ready for slow networks

Light pages that load fast on 3G, and offline mode for when the network drops.

Ethiopian phone numbers

Ethio telecom and Safaricom numbers (09… / 07…) are understood everywhere, as are guests from Somalia, Djibouti and Kenya.

Local time

Check-in, check-out and daily reports follow East Africa Time.

Local support

A team in Jijiga that speaks your language, on WhatsApp, phone or email.

FAQ

Questions hotel owners ask

Do I need a computer?

No. JHotels works in the browser on any smartphone, tablet or laptop. You can also add it to your home screen like an app.

What happens when the internet goes down?

Keep working. Check-ins and payments are saved on your device and sync automatically as soon as the connection returns.

Is my data safe?

Each hotel's data is private to its own account, all connections are encrypted, and we back up the database every night. You can export all your data at any time.

How do I pay for the subscription?

Plans are priced in Birr and billed monthly. Contact us on WhatsApp or phone to arrange payment, and we activate your account the same day.

How does JBooking charge me?

A flat monthly listing fee, with no commission. Guests pay you directly at the hotel.

What happens after the free trial?

Choose a plan to keep going. If you don't, your account becomes read-only — nothing is deleted, and you can still view and export your data.

Can I manage more than one hotel?

Yes. Add branches in any city and switch between them from one login. Each property has its own rooms, staff and reports.
