Home away from home,
built right here.
Roomly is South Africa's dedicated home-sharing platform — connecting travellers with real people and real places, from Joburg townhouses to Knysna forest cabins.
Our mission
We believe that the best way to experience South Africa is through the eyes of the people who live here. Roomly makes it simple for local hosts to share their homes and earn an income, while giving travellers access to unique, personal stays that hotels simply can't replicate.
Whether you're a guest chasing the perfect Cape Winelands weekend or a host wanting to turn your spare room into a steady side income, Roomly was built for you — by a team that understands the South African market from the inside out.
Why Roomly?
Built for South Africa
ZAR-first pricing, local payment methods including PayFast, and listings curated specifically for the South African travel market.
Hosts earn more
We charge one of the lowest host fees in the industry, so more of every booking stays in your pocket.
Trusted & secure
End-to-end booking protection, secure payments via PayFast, and a review system that builds real trust between guests and hosts.
Our story
Roomly started with a simple frustration: booking a local South African stay meant either using global platforms that charged high fees and felt impersonal, or trawling through social media groups hoping someone would respond.
We set out to fix that. We built Roomly to give South African hosts a professional, low-cost platform to showcase their properties, and to give guests a seamless, trustworthy booking experience — no hidden fees, no currency conversion headaches, no middlemen.
We're just getting started, and we're excited to grow alongside the South African travel community. If you have a space to share, or a destination on your bucket list — Roomly is your home.
