Vallåsens Värdshus hostel gets a fresh start with Sirvoy
“Before Sirvoy, we were doing everything manually. It was so much work, and it was easy to lose track of things. Now everything is much easier. We can just check the system, and we know exactly what’s happening.” – Mimi Oskarsson, Owner
Not as calm as it looked
Tucked between Malmö and Gothenburg, Vallåsens Värdshus is a unique family-run hostel that combines the comfort and convenience of a hotel with the relaxed, communal vibe of a modern hostel. Surrounded by towering trees and winding trails, this family-owned hostel offers the kind of peace that’s hard to find. Whether guests are skiing the winter slopes or cycling the scenic paths in summer, the atmosphere here is as calm and welcoming as the surrounding forests, making it a true retreat for those looking to unwind and connect with nature.
When sisters Mimi and Moa took over the family business in 2019, they quickly realized the old methods for managing bookings weren’t going to keep up. With so many guests coming and going, juggling phone calls and paper records became overwhelming. They knew they needed a solution that would help them manage the growing business while maintaining the personal touch that made their hostel so special.
Switching to a new system was necessary for Vallåsens Värdshus to keep up with the increasing number of group bookings, guest requests, and administrative tasks. The new system needed to be simple, flexible, and provide the visibility they had been missing.
“We never had a booking system before. It was the first thing we wanted to do when we took over. We knew we needed something to make our life easier.”
Sirvoy checked all those boxes, allowing them to get organized and take back control of their time. There was no more juggling phone calls or writing everything down; they finally had everything they needed in one place.
“We’ve moved away from using the phone system completely. With Sirvoy, everything is right there in front of us, and we don’t need to worry about missing anything anymore.”
Simplifying the daily grind
Managing group bookings used to be one of their biggest headaches. With family reunions, corporate events, and large gatherings, keeping track of who was coming, when they were arriving, and what they needed felt like a constant challenge.
“Group bookings were a struggle. We were constantly playing catch-up, trying to stay on top of all the details. With Sirvoy, everything changed. We simply enter the group info, assign codes, and everything is right there when we need it.”
Sirvoy’s time-saving features were a huge relief. Sending confirmation emails, processing payments, and managing group details were automated, freeing up their time to focus on the guests.
“We don’t have to deal with manual processes anymore. It’s made everything so much simpler.”
Returning to what matters most
Once the weight of manual bookings and paperwork was lifted, Mimi and Moa could finally focus on creating a warm, inviting experience for their guests.
“It’s been such a relief to have more time to welcome guests, get to know them, and make sure their stay is everything they hoped for. Sirvoy has really allowed us to put our energy where it matters most”
The shift from a stressful, chaotic system to a smooth-running operation has made a world of difference for Mimi and Moa. Now, they can focus on what makes their business stand out by creating a space where guests feel truly at home.
“Sirvoy has given us the freedom to work smarter, not harder,” says Mimi. It’s made running the business feel manageable again.”
