From Jigjiga, across East Africa.
Discover verified hotels across the Somali Region, Jigjiga, and East Africa — or list your property and manage bookings, payments, and guests in one place.
World-class amenities
Every Royal Stay hotel is verified against a consistent quality standard so guests know exactly what to expect on arrival.
The platform
Royal Stay replaces the spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and separate logins your front desk juggles every shift.
Free to list. You only pay a flat 5% commission on successful bookings — no monthly fees, no hidden charges. Keep 95% of every birr.
Check-in, room assignment, and housekeeping coordination in one calm dashboard your team will actually use.
Online checkout is provided by Chapa. Hotel payouts require a request, finance approval and manual transfer.
WhatsApp confirmations, a multilingual booking flow (Somali, Amharic, English), and reviews that build trust.
Daily revenue, occupancy, ADR, and booking trends — without exporting a single spreadsheet.
Run a chain? Manage every property, staff role, and revenue line from a single super admin console.
Hotel verification
Guests in East Africa book with confidence because the badge means something. Verification is free, takes 24–48 hours, and is reviewed again whenever a hotel changes owner or payout account.
Business licence and owner ID are uploaded privately by the hotel — never shown publicly.
Our team confirms the property exists, the rooms match the photos, and the rates are real.
The hotel's payout account is confirmed to belong to the hotel.
Only then does the hotel carry the gold Verified badge on its public page.
Only Verified hotels can accept online bookings — listings still under review are clearly labelled until checks complete.
Guest protection
Royal Stay stands between the guest and the risk — verified payments, honest terms, and a refund path that works.
Every payment runs securely through Chapa. Your card details never touch Royal Stay.
Online payment is checked server-side before confirmation. Refund requests require review; full refunds are not currently guaranteed.
Flexible, Standard or Non-refundable — always shown on the room card before you pay, never buried in fine print.
Reviews can only be written by guests with a completed booking, so ratings reflect actual stays.
Receipt and QR access depend on verified payment and booking status. Returning from checkout alone does not confirm payment.
Somali, Amharic and English support for booking issues, changes and refunds.
For hotel owners
Every Royal Stay hotel gets a polished public page — gallery, room cards, verified reviews, and a mobile booking flow that converts. No developer, no design agency, no setup fees.
Hotel owner dashboard
Bookings, payments and revenue analytics in one owner view — the same figures your front desk, accountant and payout statement see.
Figures in your dashboard come only from your hotel's real bookings and payments.
Local first
Royal Stay is designed in Jigjiga for hotels in the Somali Region, Somaliland, Somalia, Djibouti and Kenya — not adapted from abroad.
Guests book and hotels operate in the language of the region, including WhatsApp confirmations.
Prices in ETB, local wallets first, and payouts to local bank accounts — no foreign card required.
