Retreat booking software
Retreat booking software that fills rooms and collects every payment
Retreat booking software lets you sell your retreat online room by room, take deposits, run payment plans and keep every guest's details in one place. MyRetreatDesk does all of that and pays you straight into your own Stripe or PayPal account.
What good retreat booking software should do
- Room and bed inventory: guests choose a specific room or bed, and nothing is double-booked.
- Deposits and payment plans: a deposit today and automatic installments before your cutoff date.
- Failed-payment handling: retries, reminders and a clear rule for releasing an unpaid bed.
- Group bookings: one quote for a group, with each person paying their own share.
- Guest details in one place: waivers, dietary needs, flights and passports for the venue.
- Your own payouts: money goes to your account, not held by the platform.
- Transparent fees: you know exactly what each booking costs you, and can pass fees on.
- Works with your website: a booking page you can share, or a widget you can embed.

Questions about retreat booking software
What is retreat booking software?
Software that lets retreat organizers sell places online and manage them afterwards: guests choose a room or bed, pay a deposit or the full price, and the organizer tracks payments, guest details and occupancy in one dashboard instead of forms, payment links and spreadsheets.
How is it different from a retreat marketplace?
A marketplace lists your retreat among others and usually takes a commission of around 15% or more, and holds the guest relationship. Booking software runs your own booking page: guests come from your website, social media or newsletter and pay you directly.
Do I need booking software for one retreat a year?
If guests pay in installments or share rooms, yes: chasing balances and tracking beds by hand takes days. On MyRetreatDesk Starter there is no monthly fee, so it costs nothing until guests pay.
Can it handle teacher trainings and workshops too?
Yes. Anything with dates, places and prices works, from weekend workshops to 200-hour teacher trainings with payment plans.
