Mungenow Technologies, a startup based out of Buea (popularly referred to as Silicon Mountain), Cameroon has launched a guest house booking platform aimed at helping travelers to and across Cameroon’s major cities and eventually the rest of Africa to find verified and affordable places to stay during their trip no matter what their budget is.
Here is what George Enow, the Co-Founder and CTO of Mungenow Stays, has to say about their guest house booking platform:
“Our goal at Mungenow Stays is to provide a home away from home experience for travelers who want this experience no matter what their budget is.
More than just listing different stay options on the platform, we provide actual value to our customers by doing the difficult leg work of physically verifying each guest house that is listed on our platform to ensure the physical existence, confirm their actual location and the availability of the full range of amenities on offer before listing on our platform.
This way, our customers can be confident that what is seen on our platform is actually obtainable at the stay hence they can book and make payment in advance using any of the local and international payment methods integrated into our platform.
We created this platform to cater for everyone just looking for affordable and reliable guest house / holiday home to stay at during their trip in the major cities of Cameroon.
However, we trust that our platform will really provide so much value to the Cameroonian diaspora who visit Cameroon from time to time and always want a nice and quality place to stay where they can receive visitors, enjoy home cooked meals, have access to internet facilities etc during their stay.
One very important feature is the variety of payment options we have on the website including but not limited to visa/mastercard, mobile money wallets and even bank transfer in some markets making it easier for potential guests to book and pay in advance and be sure of their confirmed reservations before showing up at the location.
Our goal is to have high quality and verified listings from across all major cities in Africa, however, we must start from somewhere and home is always the best place to start.
Therefore we have started here in Cameroon where we have listings from Buea, Limbe, Douala, Yaounde and Kribi.
If you are a guest house owner/manager in any of the above listed towns, we want to speak to you. Kindly reach out to us at info@mungenowstays.com so that we can get your guest house verified and listed on our platform”.
