PAAVS.
Our story

Honest stays, built in the south.

PAAVS began in Puducherry in 2019 with one idea: travellers and hotel owners both deserve a fair deal — no hidden markups, no commission games, just transparent prices and GST done right.

Our mission

What we believe

Booking a room shouldn’t mean hidden fees, fake scarcity, or a marketplace taking a big cut from a small hotel. We build the opposite: real-time availability, transparent GST-inclusive prices, and tools that let independent hotels, guesthouses, villas, and homestays take direct bookings on their own terms.

We started in Puducherry and are growing across South India and beyond. Prices are shown in INR with GST handled correctly, payments work the way people actually pay here (UPI and pay-at-hotel), and the experience is available in English, Tamil, and Hindi.

What we stand for

Three things we won’t compromise on

Transparency
What you see is the all-in price — GST, taxes, everything. No surprises at checkout, ever.
Owner-first
Just 2% on direct bookings and never an OTA-style cut. Owners pay a flat subscription and keep what they earn, so the warmth of a good stay isn’t lost to middlemen.
Local depth
Every property is verified by our team before it goes live — not just listed. Quality over quantity, always.
