List your hostel. Reach the students near you.
Set your own prices. Manage rooms, beds, and bookings from one dashboard. We handle search, hold-and-pay, receipts, refunds, and disputes. You get paid on payout day, minus a flat commission per booking.
Everything to run a hostel — except the bedsheets.
Listing in seconds
Photos, room types, bed counts, amenities, gender served, institutions. Edit any time.
Real-time availability
Beds free up automatically when a tenant checks out. No double bookings.
Bookings dashboard
Holds, deposits, confirmed, checked-in, checked-out. One screen for the whole semester.
Hold + deposit + rent
We collect the 24-hour hold, the deposit, and recurring rent. You don't chase money.
M-Pesa + card
Students pay how they want; you receive a single payout in your bank or M-Pesa till.
Disputes desk
A real Bweni person resolves disputes within 72 hours. You don't mediate alone.
Waitlist + rollover
If your hostel fills up, students join a waitlist. 30 days before semester end, current tenants are asked to roll over.
Sojaly visitor mgmt
Premium tier comes with Sojaly visitor management built-in. Lower tier toggles it on if you want.
Flat commission per booking. No listing fees.
Listing is free. We take a flat percentage of each booking when rent clears. Payouts go to your bank or M-Pesa till on a schedule you set.
Mid-term refunds: we offer prorated refunds to students if you opt in. Optional, and switchable per-hostel.
List free; verify when it's time to get paid.
We don't gate listing. You can put up your hostel today and start collecting bookings. Verification kicks in once you want payouts enabled — that's when we ask for the documents.
