How it works

  1. 1

    Create your listing

    Add photos, a description, your amenities and your nightly price in US dollars. It is free and takes about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Choose how you take bookings

    Turn on Instant book, or review each request and accept it within 24 hours. Set minimum nights and block dates on your calendar.

  3. 3

    Welcome your guests

    You get an email for every booking. Message guests from your dashboard and send check in details before they arrive.

  4. 4

    Get paid

    We send your money 24 hours after the guest checks in, to M-Pesa or your bank account.

You keep your full price

Listing is free, with no monthly fee and nothing taken from your price. Guests pay a 10% service fee on top of it.

Your cleaning fee, if you charge one, comes to you in full as well.

Example: one night
Your price
TSh 264,000
The guest pays
TSh 290,000
You receive
TSh 264,000

Already on Airbnb or Booking.com?

Connect your calendars with an iCal link. Dates booked anywhere are blocked everywhere, so you never get a double booking.

Real reviews only

Only guests who booked your place can review it, and you can reply to every review.

Support that knows Tanzania

Our team is here for you and your guests, in English and Kiswahili.

What you need

  • At least five bright, clear photos of every room you rent.
  • An honest description, your house rules and how to find the place.
  • Any licence or permit your area needs for short stays.
  • An M-Pesa number or a bank account for your payouts.
What does it cost to list?

Nothing. Pumzika adds a 10% service fee to the guest's total, and you receive your full nightly price and cleaning fee.

Can I change my price or dates later?

Yes, any time from your dashboard. Bookings that are already confirmed keep the price the guest paid.

What if a guest cancels?

Our cancellation policy decides the refund. When a guest cancels late, you receive the part of the payment that is not refunded. Read the policy

What if I have to cancel?

Cancel only if you really must. Your guest gets a full refund, and repeated cancellations can remove your listing from search.

Ready to earn from your space?

We check every new listing before it goes live, usually within one working day.
