Reduce your dependence on the OTAs and win more commission-free bookings — with a branded webpage, WhatsApp broadcasts and M-Pesa checkout working together.
Every direct booking is one you don't pay 15–20% on, and a guest you can bring back without paying to reach again. The hosts who thrive build a direct channel alongside the OTAs — not instead of guests, but instead of fees.
Short Stays Kenya gives you the tools to do it: a shareable webpage, automated WhatsApp reach, and M-Pesa checkout that converts.
A professional branded page turns your WhatsApp status, Instagram bio and business card into a booking channel.
When a unit frees up, we auto-compose a message with photos, dates, price and a booking link to share to your groups in one tap.
Real-time sync keeps availability accurate across your page and the umbrella, so guests trust the calendar.
Own the guest relationship and repeat guests book you directly — no fee to reach them again.
Appear on shortstayskenya.com for extra reach on top of your own channel.
The easier it is to pay, the more enquiries convert. STK push closes bookings fast.
Get your branded booking page and share the link everywhere.
Push vacancies to your groups the moment a unit frees up.
Turn on M-Pesa checkout so enquiries convert without friction.
Stay in direct contact and invite past guests back — commission-free every time.
It doesn't have to — most hosts run both, using direct bookings to cut fees while keeping the OTAs for extra reach.
When a guest checks out, we auto-compose a vacancy message with your photos, dates, price and booking link — you share it to two groups in one tap.
No — we set up your branded page for you; you just share the link.
Usually live within 24 hours of sending your photos and details.
