For the chronically busy
🛋️

Oh, you're still here?

So forms aren't your thing. Filling in descriptions sounds like work. Uploading photos requires finding them first. We get it. You're a busy entrepreneur, not a content creator.

Here's a wild idea: just tell us your WhatsApp number. Our team will do the whole listing for you: photos, description, pricing, the works. You'll get a notification when you're live and can start receiving bookings.

Yes, this is a real thing we do. Yes, it's free. No, there's no catch. We just really, really want you on the platform.

🙋 Sure, do it for me

Drop your WhatsApp below. We'll reach out, grab the details and get you live. You do nothing except answer our messages. Honestly, pretty manageable.

KES 0

That is what Cabana takes from your earnings. Zero. Nothing. Not a percentage, not a monthly fee, not a setup cost.

We charge guests a small, transparent platform fee on top of your price. You set your number. They pay yours, plus a small fee that keeps our lights on. You see none of that deducted from your side. Ever.

"Other platforms take 15% before paying me. Cabana keeps nothing from me. I increased my prices slightly and still get more bookings. Guests see they're paying less."

"M-Pesa escrow is genius. My guests are relaxed because their money is protected, and I know I'll get paid when they arrive. No more payment disputes."

Questions

Everything you need to know.

Yes, entirely. You set your price. Guests pay that price, plus a small transparent platform fee that goes to Cabana. Nothing is deducted from you at any point. What you quote is what you receive.
Guests pay via M-Pesa when they book. That payment is held in secure escrow. When they check in and confirm arrival with their unique code, the money is released directly to your M-Pesa. Usually within minutes. No waiting days for a bank transfer.
You choose your own cancellation policy when you list — flexible, moderate, or strict. Cabana enforces whatever policy you set. If a guest cancels inside your policy window, you retain the portion you specified. No disputes, no negotiation required from your side.
There is no limit. Your partner dashboard lets you manage all your listings, bookings, calendars and earnings from one place. Many of our partners list multiple apartments and also a car hire or tour service alongside.
Yes. Cabana has a built-in agent network. Agents can request to represent your listing, you approve or decline, and you set the commission rate you agree on. Approved agents see your live availability so they never double-book you. All commission arrangements are recorded in the platform.
Absolutely. The listing process is a simple step-by-step form. You can also import an existing listing from another platform by pasting the URL. If you need help, WhatsApp us directly. A real person will assist you through the process at no charge.
