For hostels and PGs
WhatsApp for hostels, PGs and co-living
Hostels, PGs and co-living homes get messages all day: room enquiries, rent questions, repair requests and visitors at the gate. GoPromoteNow gives the warden, the office and the owner one inbox on the property's own number, and if you already run the property on GoPGMS, its reminders and receipts appear beside your conversations.

The messages a hostel or PG gets every day
These are the kinds of messages a hostel or PG hears on WhatsApp all day, from people who expect an answer in minutes, not tomorrow. Each one lands in your shared inbox with the customer's name, so whoever has a moment can answer it in your business's name while the rest of the team sees who did.
- Is a single room available from the 1st?
- I paid rent yesterday, can you confirm?
- The geyser in room 204 is not working.
- What time does the gate close at night?
How GoPromoteNow helps a hostel or PG
Four features carry most conversations at a hostel or PG, and each links to its own page with the help answers that explain it. None needs anything installed: your team works in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone, from your own business number, with customers seeing your business name.
Rooms from GoPGMS
If your workspace is linked to GoPGMS, Import brings your room types in with their prices and photos, ready to send as cards.

Label a repair request Maintenance and assign it to the caretaker; the resident sees replies from the property, never a personal number.

Open the inbox from your GoPGMS side menu with no second password, and add your staff from GoPGMS with their roles.
Read more →Questions hostels and PGs ask us
Two questions come up whenever a hostel or PG looks at GoPromoteNow, so here are the direct answers. If yours is different, the help centre has more than a hundred answers, our team will walk you through it on a demo call, or you can chat with us on WhatsApp right away.
Do I need GoPGMS to use it?
No. GoPromoteNow is its own product with its own sign-in, and works for any hostel or PG. If you already use GoPGMS, you can open the inbox from its side menu, see what GoPGMS sends your residents and import your room types, which saves setting them up twice.
Can GoPGMS reminders come from our own number?
Yes, once your own number is connected. GoPGMS prepares every message in your property’s name; you check the wording, submit each group to WhatsApp, test it on your own phone and switch it on, and residents’ replies then come to your inbox.
