The platform

Everything your hotel runs on, in one place.

Royal Stay replaces the spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and separate logins your front desk juggles every shift.

Transparent 10% commission

Free to list. You only pay a flat 10% commission on successful bookings — no monthly fees, no hidden charges. Keep 90% of every birr.

Front desk & housekeeping

Check-in, room assignment, and housekeeping coordination in one calm dashboard your team will actually use.

Payments built for the Somali Region

Chapa securely processes Telebirr, CBE Birr, E-Birr, and cards. Verified payments are reconciled automatically against each booking.

Guest experience

WhatsApp confirmations, a multilingual booking flow (Somali, Amharic, English), and reviews that build trust.

Revenue & occupancy analytics

Daily revenue, occupancy, ADR, and booking trends — without exporting a single spreadsheet.

Multi-property group console

Run a chain? Manage every property, staff role, and revenue line from a single super admin console.

Hotel verification

Every Verified hotel is checked by a human.

Guests in East Africa book with confidence because the badge means something. Verification is free, takes 24–48 hours, and is reviewed again whenever a hotel changes owner or payout account.

Documents submitted

Business licence and owner ID are uploaded privately by the hotel — never shown publicly.

Property reviewed

Our team confirms the property exists, the rooms match the photos, and the rates are real.

Payout account checked

The bank, Telebirr or CBE Birr payout account is confirmed to belong to the hotel.

Verified badge granted

Only then does the hotel carry the gold Verified badge on its public page.

Verified hotel

Only Verified hotels can accept online bookings — listings still under review are clearly labelled until checks complete.

Guest protection

Book with protection, not hope.

Royal Stay stands between the guest and the risk — verified payments, honest terms, and a refund path that works.

Secure payments

Every payment runs through Chapa — Telebirr, CBE Birr, E-Birr and cards. Card details never touch Royal Stay.

Confirmed or refunded

A booking is only confirmed after the payment is verified server-side. If a hotel can't honour it, a refund request is opened on your booking and reviewed by Royal Stay.

Clear cancellation terms

Flexible, Standard or Non-refundable — always shown on the room card before you pay, never buried in fine print.

Real-stay reviews only

Reviews can only be written by guests with a completed booking, so ratings reflect actual stays.

Instant receipt & invoice

A branded PDF invoice and QR check-in pass are issued the moment your payment clears.

Support in your language

Somali, Amharic and English support for booking issues, changes and refunds.

Local first

The hotel operating system for East Africa.

Built in the Horn of Africa

Royal Stay is designed in Jigjiga for hotels in the Somali Region, Somaliland, Somalia, Djibouti and Kenya — not adapted from abroad.

Somali, Amharic, English

Guests book and hotels operate in the language of the region, including WhatsApp confirmations.

Birr-first payments

Prices in ETB, local wallets first, and payouts to local bank accounts — no foreign card required.

Trust & Safety

How we keep hotels, guests and money safe on the platform.

Hotel documents and payout details are stored privately and never published.
Guest data is protected by row-level security — one hotel can never see another hotel's guests.
Payments are verified server-side; a booking is never confirmed on an unverified callback.
Every admin and staff action is written to an audit log.
Report a listing, a review or a safety concern and our team responds within 24 hours.
