How hosting on Trubay Stayz works
Three steps from registration to your first booking. You stay in control at every stage.
Create your free account
Name, email, phone, and password. Done in under 30 seconds. No property listing is required at this stage — your account is ready immediately.
Add your property listing
Upload photos, write your description, set your nightly rate and house rules from your dashboard. Your listing is reviewed by our team before it goes live on the platform.
Accept bookings & get paid to M-Pesa
Choose Instant Booking or review each guest request yourself. You manage your check-ins. Your earnings are sent directly to your M-Pesa after each confirmed stay.
Kenya's platform built for hosts
We provide the tools, the verified guests, and the payment infrastructure. You run your hosting your way.
Verified guest pool
Every guest is verified by our team before their booking request reaches you. You receive enquiries from a screened, trustworthy pool — not anonymous strangers on the internet.
M-Pesa payouts, every time
Your earnings go directly to your M-Pesa after each confirmed stay. No bank account required, no delays, no manual withdrawal requests — payment to your phone.
Your dashboard, your rules
Set your own rates, availability, and house rules. Choose Instant Booking to auto-accept suitable guests, or review every request individually. The platform serves you — not the other way around.
Free to list, transparent fee
Creating your account and listing your property is completely free. We charge a 10% platform fee only on completed bookings — transparent, consistent, and only when you earn.
Diaspora & domestic demand
Your listing reaches Kenyan diaspora returning home, domestic business travellers, and local guests — audiences that a Facebook post or word of mouth simply cannot reliably reach.
Platform support on hand
Our team handles guest verification, payment processing, listing questions, and technical issues. Your check-ins and hosting decisions remain yours — we manage the platform around you.
Your property. Your rules. Our platform connects the dots.
Trubay Stayz provides the infrastructure — verified guests, M-Pesa payments, booking tools, and listing visibility. Hosting decisions stay with you.
Guest verification
Not every guest qualifies. Booking enquiries come from people our team has already screened — before they reach your inbox.
Your calendar, your control
Block dates, set minimum stays, approve or decline each request. Your availability is yours — nobody overrides it.
Listing quality review
Your property is reviewed before it goes live. Not every listing qualifies — being on Trubay Stayz is a mark of quality.
Secure, processed payments
All booking payments are processed through the platform and released to your M-Pesa after each confirmed stay.
Paid directly to M-Pesa — no bank transfer needed
When your guest checks in and the booking is confirmed, your earnings are released and sent directly to your registered M-Pesa number. No manual withdrawal, no waiting on a bank account, no intermediary holding your money. Just a payment to your phone.
Hosts across Kenya are already earning
"I listed my studio in Ruaka and had my first booking request within three days. I reviewed the guest's profile, confirmed the stay, and the M-Pesa hit my phone the morning after check-in. Reliable income from a property I wasn't fully using."
"I use Instant Booking with a lockbox code. Guests let themselves in — I've never had to meet anyone in person unless I choose to. Trubay Stayz brings quality guests I couldn't find on my own, and the M-Pesa payout is seamless every time."
"My Naivasha cottage sat idle most weeks. I set a 2-night minimum for Friday–Sunday and now it earns consistently every weekend. The listing took an afternoon to set up, and the guests have been genuinely great."
Common questions
Is it free to list my property on Trubay Stayz?
Yes. Creating your account and listing your property is completely free. We charge a 10% platform fee only when a booking is completed and the guest checks in. You keep 90% of every booking — no upfront costs, no monthly subscription.
How and when do I get paid?
When your guest checks in and the booking is confirmed, your earnings are released and sent directly to your registered M-Pesa number. No bank transfer needed, no manual withdrawal, no waiting. Payment comes to your phone after each confirmed stay.
Do I have to accept every booking request?
No. Your dashboard gives you full control. Enable Instant Booking to auto-accept guests who meet your criteria, or use Request-to-Book to review and approve each guest individually before confirming. You can block dates and update your house rules at any time.
Does Trubay Stayz manage my check-ins or interact with my guests?
No — check-ins are yours to manage. Your dashboard gives you the guest's details and booking confirmation before arrival. Most hosts either meet guests in person or use a lockbox or smart lock for self-check-in. Trubay Stayz handles guest verification, the booking system, and M-Pesa payment processing. Hosting decisions are yours.
Who are the guests on Trubay Stayz?
Every guest on Trubay Stayz goes through our verification process before they can send a booking request. Our guest pool includes Kenyan diaspora returning home, domestic business travellers, corporate short-stay guests, and local weekend travellers looking for quality accommodation.
