Roomly

Roomly is a mobile-first accommodation marketplace for guests booking short stays and for hosts listing and managing hotels, apartments, shortlets, and other rentals.

Key capabilities include:

• Handpicked stay discovery by city, with searchable inventory across Nigerian destinations such as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, and Ibadan, plus listings shown for Accra and Nairobi.
• Instant booking with in-app confirmation and in-app messaging so guests can contact hosts without back-and-forth before reserving.
• Verified hosts and reviews, including guest ratings and a “Superhost” status to help guests evaluate listings.
• Host tools for short-term rentals, including guided onboarding, booking management (accept, decline, modify reservations with real-time notifications), and revenue analytics to track earnings, occupancy trends, and pricing performance.

Available via iOS and Android apps, with a supporting website for marketing and host sign-up; booking happens in the app.

Built for travelers and guests looking for vetted Nigerian stays, and small to mid-sized accommodation providers (hosts, hotels, and property owners) that want a commission-based channel for bookings.

Notable in the African context for its Nigeria-first focus and published marketplace stats such as 50K+ downloads, 12K+ properties, and a 4.8★ App Store rating, plus Paystack-powered secure payments and a host pricing model that charges 5% service fee for the first 30 bookings, then 10% thereafter (rates noted as subject to final confirmation).
