A few things you might be wondering.
Does it cost anything to use Maldivesfounder?
No. Everything is free, including your listing and all operations tools. Claim your property, add photographs, publish rates, and manage bookings, transfers, tax returns, excursions and your team at no cost. There are no paid plans or subscription fees.
My property is not on the map.
Liveaboards appear as listings in Explore, without map pins. For other stays, check the listing name and island first. The chart is refreshed regularly, so a stay that opened recently may take a little while to appear. If you think it should be there and it is not, search the chart by island first; a listing under an older trading name is the usual cause.
Does this replace my channel manager?
Not yet, and we will not pretend otherwise. Bookings from Booking.com, Airbnb and the rest can be kept here beside your direct ones, but availability does not flow back out to them. Two-way sync is planned. Until then, your channel manager stays the calendar of record.
I run a liveaboard, not an island.
Liveaboards are listed on the platform. Select Liveaboards in Explore to browse them in a full-width listing view without a chart. Your dashboard supports departures, berths, agent bookings, guest manifests and dive profiles.
We run more than one property.
Each listing is claimed on its own, and every one you hold appears in the same dashboard, with its own calendar, desk and returns.
Can my staff use it without my password?
Yes. Once a property is claimed, its Team page lets you add people by email with their own sign-in, and remove them when they move on.
You run the stay.
