What is PataStay?
PataStay is a Kenyan property-discovery platform that helps guests find BnBs, furnished apartments and holiday homes and connect directly with property hosts.
What types of properties can I find on PataStay?
Guests can find BnBs, furnished apartments, holiday homes, serviced apartments and other short-stay properties listed by hosts and property managers.
Which locations does PataStay cover?
PataStay is launching with Nairobi and its neighbourhoods. Additional Kenyan cities and areas will appear as they are enabled and suitable properties become available.
Do I need an account to find a stay?
No host account is required to browse properties. When unlocking host details, guests provide their name, phone number, email address and intended stay dates.
Can I find day-use and overnight stays?
Yes. Hosts can indicate whether a property supports day-use, overnight stays or both. Check the individual property details and confirm the preferred arrangement with the host.
02
Unlocking and Payments
Access fees, host details and accommodation payments.
How does the property unlock work?
Select a property, enter your intended dates and guest details, then pay the displayed PataStay access fee. After the payment is verified, the protected host details are revealed.
What details are revealed after I unlock a property?
A successful unlock can reveal the host's phone number, WhatsApp contact and the property's protected exact location, allowing you to communicate directly with the host.
Does unlocking reserve the property?

What does the PataStay access fee cover?
The access fee covers the connection service that releases the property's protected host contact details and exact location after payment verification.
Does PataStay collect accommodation payments?

Hosts and Listings
Adding, managing and promoting short-stay properties.
How can I list my BnB on PataStay?

Can I start with one property for free?
Yes. The free host plan allows an eligible host to begin with one property listing. Hosts managing additional properties can upgrade to a larger listing package.
How do hosts update available dates?
Hosts use the availability calendar inside their PataStay dashboard to mark dates as available, occupied or blocked and should update the calendar whenever availability changes.
Who controls the accommodation price?
The host controls the property's accommodation price, accepted payment method and stay conditions. PataStay displays the information supplied by the host.
Can hosts edit or pause a property listing?
Yes. Hosts can use their dashboard to update property information, change availability, replace photographs or pause a listing when it should not appear to guests.
04
Safety and Support
Confirming properties and reporting suspicious activity.
What should I confirm before paying the host?
Confirm that the property exists, is available for your dates, matches the listing information and that you understand the accommodation cost, location and host's payment instructions.
How can I verify a property before travelling?
Ask the host for recent photographs, a video tour, clear directions and any other information needed to confirm the property before travelling or sending accommodation payment.
What if the property is unavailable after I unlock it?
Do not send accommodation payment. Contact PataStay support with the property reference, selected dates and information received from the host so the case can be reviewed.
What should I do if a listing looks suspicious?
Stop communicating or making payments and report the listing to PataStay. Include the property reference, screenshots and a description of the suspicious activity.
How can I contact PataStay support?
Use the Contact page or WhatsApp PataStay on 0796 108 210. When contacting support about a property, include its property reference and the phone number used during the unlock.
