For Nairobi guesthouses & hotels
Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia take 15–18% of every reservation. Hodi is a flat KSh 7,000 a month.
We build your property its own booking website — its own address, its own rooms and rates — so guests can book directly with you instead of paying a platform to stand between you.
The arithmetic
This is what the commission actually costs you.
A property doing KSh 400,000/month through OTAs
- Commission at 15%Booking.com / Airbnb / Expedia charge 15–18%
- − KSh 60,000
- Hodi, flat — every month
- − KSh 7,000
Shown at 15% of KSh 400,000 in monthly OTA bookings, the low end of the 15–18% range — your own numbers will move with your rate and your revenue. The shape of it doesn't change: the commission is the biggest bill you have that doesn't show up as a bill.
