Booking a home, step by step
A few steps, not thirty messages. A real person in Gisenyi looks after every booking.
- 01
Pick your home and your nights
Every home shows a live calendar. What looks free is free — there is no “let me check” at the end.
- 02
Request to book
Send your dates, guest count, name and WhatsApp number. One tap also opens a WhatsApp message to our team that names the home, its reference code, your dates and guests, so nobody mixes homes up.
- 03
We hold the nights for 45 minutes
Nobody else can book those nights while we confirm with the host. If the hold runs out before we confirm, the nights open up again.
- 04
Pay the deposit by MTN MoMo
Once we accept, we send you a link to pay a 50% deposit by MoMo. No card needed. You're confirmed the moment it lands.
- 05
Get the address and directions
Your private booking page unlocks the exact address and directions. We meet you at the door.
One price, nothing added
You see one nightly price and one total. The total you see is the total you pay.
Many homes take a percentage off longer stays. Each home shows its own on its page, and it's applied to your total automatically.
Where the home is
Before you book, each home shows its area and a nearby landmark. The exact address and directions unlock on your private booking page once your deposit is in — that keeps our hosts safe.
If your dates are taken
We'll suggest two or three free homes close in size and price, so you don't have to start over.
