Built for hostel life, not just booking day
Bookly takes you from the first search to the day you move out: the hostel, the room, the payment, and everything in between.
Find a hostel you can trust
Every hostel is checked before it goes live. Compare real photos, room types and prices side by side, and see how far each one is from your gate.
Choose the exact room
See which rooms are actually free, choose one to four in a room, and reserve the one you want. No surprises when you arrive with your bags.
Pay with MoMo, get a receipt at once
Pay from your phone or let your parents pay from theirs. The money goes through Paystack, not to a personal number, and the receipt is in your app before you put the phone down.
Your hostel, in your pocket
Your room, your receipts and your roommates in one place. Report a broken fan or a leaking tap and follow it to the fix, and get notices from your hostel the moment they go out.
The Hostel Market
Every hostel on Bookly has its own market, open only to the people who live there. Sell provisions, snacks or your old fan, offer hair, laundry or printing, and buy from the room down the corridor.

Good to know
What is Bookly?
Bookly is a student hostel booking platform in Ghana. You find verified hostels near your campus, pick the exact room you want and pay with Mobile Money, card or bank, all in one app. Hostels use Bookly to manage their rooms, tenants and payments. It started around KNUST in Kumasi.
How do I pay for a room?
With MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, AT Money, a Visa or Mastercard card, or straight from your bank. Payments go through Paystack, a licensed payment provider, and your receipt shows up in the app straight away.
Is the price I see the price I pay?
Yes. The price on a room is the full amount you pay for the year. There is no viewing fee and no agent to pay.
Why download the app from this site and not Google Play?
The Play Store listing is on its way. Until then you can download the same app from get.booklyapp.co. If Play Protect shows a warning, tap More details, then Install anyway. The app updates itself when a new version is out.
I have an iPhone. Can I use Bookly?
Yes. Open booklyapp.co in Safari and use Bookly in the browser, with the same account and the same bookings. An iPhone app is coming.
Are the hostels verified?
Every hostel is checked by the Bookly team before it appears. Photos, prices and rooms come from the hostel itself and are kept up to date in the app.
I own or manage a hostel. How do I join?
Sign up at booklyapp.co as a hostel owner, or email support@booklyapp.co and we will set your hostel up with you.
Your next room is a tap away.
Download Bookly for Android, or open it in any browser. Same account, same bookings.
