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 5% commission

Free to list. You only pay a flat 5% commission on successful bookings — no monthly fees, no hidden charges. Keep 95% 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

Online checkout is provided by Chapa. Hotel payouts require a request, finance approval and manual transfer.

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 hotel's 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 securely through Chapa. Your card details never touch Royal Stay.

Payment verification & refund review

Online payment is checked server-side before confirmation. Refund requests require review; full refunds are not currently guaranteed.

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

Receipt and QR access depend on verified payment and booking status. Returning from checkout alone does not confirm payment.

Support in your language

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

For hotel owners

✓SEO-ready public hotel page in your brand
✓Mobile-first booking with secure Chapa payments

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 access is restricted by hotel-scoped database policies; independent isolation testing is pending.
Payments are verified server-side; a booking is never confirmed on an unverified callback.
Selected sensitive changes are recorded in audit logs; complete action coverage is still under review.
Report a listing, review or safety concern through support. Response timing depends on the investigation.
