Why operators switch to MELO
Guests get answers in their language
Nora handles guest conversations on WhatsApp in Arabic and English around the clock — not templated auto-replies, an agent that reads context and acts.
Financials are native, not bolted on
Accounting, owner statements and revenue reporting ship with the platform — no separate accounting add-on or export-import loops.
You don't live in a dashboard
Sara brings you occupancy, revenue and bookings inside WhatsApp. Manage from your phone; open the dashboard when you want depth.
Published pricing from $79/mo
Evaluate plans in minutes instead of navigating per-listing fees and add-on modules.
