Your homestay, from the WhatsApp booking to a clear profit figure for your business
The guest books on WhatsApp, pays a deposit, pays the balance on arrival — and every ringgit lands in your accounts, matched to the bank, with the cleaning and utilities against it. Accounting built for a business you run from your phone.
A full calendar is not the same as a profitable homestay
A guest messages. You quote a price. They send a deposit screenshot. You write it in a book, or you do not. Two weeks later they arrive, pay the balance in cash, and leave. The cleaner is paid, the electricity bill comes, and none of it is in one place.
Deposits and balances go missing in the chat.Who has paid in full, who still owes, who cancelled and needs a refund — you scroll to find out.
You cannot see the real profit of the business.Money comes in, but after the bills and the repairs, the real profit is a guess.
Expenses come out of your own wallet.The cleaner, the gas, the new mattress. Months later you cannot separate the business from the household.
Tax time is a rebuild from scratch.The accountant asks for the year. You hand over a bank statement and a memory.
You have the bookings. You do not have the books.
Every stay is a small sale with two or three payments and a handful of costs. Kept in a chat, that is chaos. Kept as accounts, it is a business you can read: what each unit earned this month, what it cost, and how much is really yours after the bills.
And when a booking platform pays you late, or short, you would like to know — because you cannot chase what you have not recorded.
Every booking becomes a record, every payment finds its place
You quote from the system, the deposit and the balance are recorded against that booking, and your expenses sit beside them. Nothing lives only in a chat.
Quote the guest from your phone
The dates, the price, the deposit — one quotation, sent on WhatsApp.
Turn it into an invoice on confirmation
The deposit is recorded against it. The balance is what is left.
Record the balance and the bank sees it
Cash on arrival, transfer, platform payout — matched to your bank statement.
Read the business profit, any day
Income and expenses side by side. Not once a year — whenever you open the app.
Everywhere else you get a booking calendar with no accounts behind it, or an accounting system built for an office. Niagawan is the accounts, built so a homestay owner can run them from a phone.
Inside the system — real screens
Not promises — the actual screens you use every day.
WhatsApp bookings become invoices — deposits never mixed up again
Quote from the system, then it becomes an invoice the moment your guest confirms. Booking deposit and security deposit sit on separate lines.
- Quote on WhatsApp, one tap turns it into an invoice on confirmation
- Booking deposit & security deposit — two lines, never mixed up
- Outstanding balance clear — no more scrolling chats to see who's paid
- Refunding the security deposit? One line, not a memory test
Cleaner, wifi, electricity — recorded from your phone, not your own pocket
Every recurring cost — cleaner, wifi, electricity, homestay supplies — recorded straight from your phone, the day it happens.
- Recurring expenses: cleaner, wifi, electricity, rent
- Record straight from your phone, the moment it happens — not end of month
- Every cost already categorised, easy when your accountant asks
- Business money and your own pocket, no longer mixed up
Profit and loss & account reports — any time, not just year-end
The same invoices and expenses generate your profit and loss report — check any time, not once a year.
- Automatic P&L — monthly or yearly, whenever you want it
- Income and costs side by side, no more guesswork
- Match payments — cash, transfer, OTA payouts — against your bank records
- Reports ready whenever your accountant or tax season asks
e-Invoice LHDN — mandatory for rental businesses, the system's already ready
e-Invoice is now mandatory for rental businesses like homestays. Every booking invoice submits straight away with a clear status.
- e-Invoice LHDN (MyInvois) built in, no extra charge
- Every booking becomes an invoice, straight into e-Invoice LHDN compliance
- Submission status clear — approved, rejected, or cancelled
- Cash bookings without an individual e-Invoice — combined into one consolidated submission to LHDN

What business owners like you say
“Alhamdulillah, I'm now in my sixth year using the Niagawan Plus app. It's very good and makes it easy for me to give quotations and invoices to customers.”
“Easy to navigate and a good mobile interface. What I like the most is their WhatsApp customer service. For people like me who don't know much about accounting and bookkeeping, this is very, very helpful.”
“I've used their products since 2021 — the best, and very helpful for traders who don't have a finance background.”
Questions owners always ask
I still use Excel/a book — is this really better?
Do bookings from Airbnb/Booking.com have to be entered manually?
How do I refund a security deposit without it becoming a 'cost'?
I don't have an accounting background — can I handle this?
