About Voyino
A local team, for local hosts.
Voyino is operated by KATALUXE SARL U, a Togolese company based in Lomé. Our mission: make travel and short-term rental easier across West Africa, with a platform built for local realities — payment in XOF, a team on the ground.
Founding Hosts are the first put in front of travelers when the platform opens publicly.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
When do I start receiving bookings?
From the public opening, Founding Hosts are the first shown to travelers.
How many spots are available in my country?
20 exclusive spots per UEMOA country. See the live counter on this page. Once the 20 spots in your country are taken, the programme moves to a waiting list.
What happens after the 12 months?
The standard Voyino commission is 7%, half of what OTAs charge (15–22%). Your 12 months at 0% start when your first listing goes live.
Does Voyino replace Booking or Airbnb?
No, it complements them. You keep your other channels. Voyino reaches African travelers who do not book through international platforms.
What if I sign up and want to stop?
No obligation. You can withdraw your listing at any time, at no cost.
How much does it cost to sign up?
Nothing. No sign-up fee, no commission for 12 months.
