Same-day changeovers
Departure in the morning, arrival in the afternoon. The cleaners need the right order and the guest needs the right unit.
For apartment houses and serviced apartments
Every unit in view, every changeover planned.
STRYK keeps all units in one calendar. Identical apartments form a category, and each apartment is its own unit. The final cleaning is its own line in the booking and invoice, and the cleaning plan shows which unit has to be ready next.
- Units grouped in categories
- Final cleaning as its own invoice line
- Tourist tax and guest registration per person
STRYK for apartment houses and serviced apartments
Units of a category in one calendar
Many identical units, changing guests and tight cleaning windows: one calendar, one cleaning plan and one invoice per stay.
In short
STRYK runs apartment houses and serviced apartments in one system: units in categories, price per unit, arrival and departure days, minimum stay, final cleaning as its own line, a cleaning plan built from occupancy and guest access with a key box code. Hotels remain the core of STRYK, and the unit type Apartment adds to them.
Many units, one overview
An apartment house depends on quick changeovers. The guest leaves in the morning, the cleaners come, and the next guest is at the door in the afternoon. For that, occupancy, cleaning and guest information have to be up to date in the same place.
In STRYK, identical flats form a category and each flat is a unit. You set up the layout, beds and price once, and every further unit only takes up space in the calendar, not more upkeep.
Serviced apartments with hotel services such as breakfast, extras or reception hours run in the same system. The unit type Apartment sits alongside the type Room, and nothing changes in how you work in the hotel.
What costs time in an apartment house
Identical flats, separate upkeep
Five apartments of the same kind should not be set up and priced five times.
Cleaning that is not on the invoice
A final cleaning the guest only hears about on site leads to arguments. It belongs visibly in the booking and invoice.
Arrival without a reception
When nobody is on site, arrival directions, Wi-Fi and key box code have to reach the guest at the right time.
A changeover without follow-up questions, from the calendar to the invoice.
In an apartment house, guests arrive and leave without anyone standing at the door. Between a departure and the next arrival there are often only a few hours. If you keep occupancy, cleaning and guest information in three lists, you lose time exactly where it is shortest.
Price per unit, rules included
The price applies per apartment and night up to the base occupancy. Arrival days, minimum stay, weekly discount and final cleaning already apply at booking.
Guest and access are ready
The guest adds their details in online check-in. You enter the arrival directions, Wi-Fi and key box code once. The guest sees them in the guest portal at the time you set before arrival.
Cleaning knows what is next
Units that have been vacated appear in the cleaning plan, with those occupied again today at the top. Interim cleaning and linen changes follow your rules.
From apartment to booking
How to set up an apartment house in STRYK and run it day to day.
Choose the type of property
Choose "Holiday homes and apartments". New categories then start with the type Apartment.
Create the category and units
Describe rooms, beds, kitchen and price. Add each flat as a unit.
Set the rules
Arrival and departure days, minimum stay, weekly and monthly discount, interim cleaning, linen change and final cleaning.
Sell and look after guests
Your own booking page and the portals fill the same calendar. Guests check in online, and the cleaning team works from the plan.
What you get for apartments
Price per unit
One price per apartment and night up to the base occupancy, a surcharge for each additional person and, if you like, a separate one for children.
Arrival and departure days
Arrival and departure only on the weekdays you mark, for example Saturday to Saturday.
Minimum stay
You set the minimum stay and closures for arrival or departure per period. This applies to your booking page and the connected channels.
Final cleaning as its own line
The guest sees the mandatory final cleaning when booking, and it appears separately on the invoice.
Cleaning plan from occupancy
The day's departures and arrivals set the order. Interim cleaning and linen changes follow your intervals.
Guest access without a reception
Arrival directions, house rules, Wi-Fi and key box code appear in the guest portal, if you wish only after online check-in. The codes are stored encrypted.
Tourist tax and guest registration
Tourist tax and registration data are kept per person. For Austria, STRYK monitors the registration deadline.
One invoice per stay
Nights, final cleaning, extras and tourist tax come together on one invoice.

Is STRYK right for your apartment house?
A good fit
- You rent out several identical apartments and want to manage them as one category.
- You work with final cleaning, arrival days or a minimum stay.
- You have no permanently staffed reception and need clear guest access.
- You sell directly and through booking portals from one calendar.
What STRYK does not do
- Open door locks directly from the booking system. Guests receive a key box code, and there is no lock integration.
- Collect a security deposit. STRYK shows the deposit to the guest as information but does not collect it.
- Send layout, kitchen and weekly discounts to portals. You maintain these details in each portal's own extranet.
