About us

Hauko home — but you're still in the right place.

“Siko home” is what you say when you're travelling, working away or taking a break — and it's where Sikohome began. Built in Kenya for the way people really stay, it started with a simple idea: the people who run great places to stay deserve proper tools, and guests deserve to book them directly — with honest listings, fair prices and payments they already use.

Today the same platform powers the marketplace you're browsing and the workspace hosts use behind every listing — bookings, cleaning, maintenance, accounts and owner statements, all in one place.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can't find what you need? Message the host from any listing, or reach us through the contact details below.

What does “Siko home” mean?

It's Kenyan Sheng for “I'm not at home”. Hauko home — you're travelling, working away or just taking a break — but on Sikohome you're still in the right place: a comfortable stay that feels like home for a while, from hosts who make guests feel that way.

Do I need an account to book?

No. You can book as a guest. A free traveller account just keeps your trips, receipts and saved places together, and links past bookings made with the same email.

How do I pay?

You pay the host directly through the payment options they accept — usually M-Pesa, with card on some listings. You get a receipt for every payment.

What does "verified" mean?

Verified hosts and properties have sent documents that the platform team checked. Badges last 12 months and can be withdrawn.

I own a property someone manages for me. How do I see my statements?

Use Owner sign in. Enter the phone number or email your manager has on file and we send you a 6-digit code.

I run short-stay units. What does it cost to list?

New hosts start on the entry plan. Higher plans unlock more properties and tools, and you can compare every plan from your host workspace once you sign up.

Is my information safe?

Passwords are stored hashed, identity numbers are encrypted, and messages between guests and hosts don't reveal phone numbers. Your rights under the Data Protection Act, 2019 are on the Privacy & data protection page in the footer.
