Early access · For hotels & guesthouses in Ethiopia

Guests abroad want to book your hotel — but they can't pay you

We're building your own online booking page: foreign and diaspora guests see your available rooms, reserve, and prepay a 30% deposit with their card or a local wallet — so missed phone calls and no-shows stop costing you money.

Every week, bookings slip through your fingers

Guests can't find you online

Foreign and diaspora travellers plan online, before they land. If your hotel isn't bookable online, the reservation goes to a hotel that is — or to a big OTA taking 15–20%.

They can't prepay from abroad

A traveller booking from London or Washington won't risk a room that isn't paid. No way to prepay means no commitment — and often no guest.

Phone bookings get missed

Calls come at busy hours, sometimes in a language your front desk doesn't speak, and nothing gets written down. A missed call is a lost night.

No-shows cost you real money

A room held by phone with nothing paid is a room you can't sell to anyone else. When the guest doesn't turn up, the loss is yours.

Your own booking page, with prepaid deposits

No app for your guests to download, no computer skills needed on your side. We set everything up with you.

1

We set up your booking page

Your rooms, prices, and photos on a page of your own. Share the link or QR code on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram — anywhere your guests find you.

2

Guest books & prepays a 30% deposit

The guest picks their dates, reserves, and pays a 30% deposit online — foreign card or local wallet, charged in Birr. The booking is confirmed only once the money is in.

3

You get paid, the guest arrives

The deposit is committed money — a no-show no longer costs you the whole night. The guest settles the balance at your front desk as usual.

No monthly fee. ~8% per completed booking.

You pay only when you get paid — a commission of about 8% on completed bookings, and nothing else. No booking, no fee. No setup cost for early hotels.
