Why Triplona exists
Another marketplace? Yes — but built the way we wish the others were. Here's what we believe.
- 1
Providers deserve to keep what they earn.
Global booking sites routinely take 15–25% per transaction. That's rent, staff wages and family income being siphoned offshore. We charge a flat membership instead of taxing every guest you host.
- 2
Travellers deserve verified businesses.
Every provider on Triplona is a real, identified person or registered company — no anonymous listings, no rerouted payments, no impersonators.
- 3
Small businesses deserve global visibility.
A homestay in Nyeri, a photographer in Kisumu or a chef in Mombasa can be discovered by travellers from Lagos, London or Lima — without paying a commission to be seen.
- 4
Tourism should benefit local communities.
Money spent on your holiday should stay in the destination that hosted you. Direct payments keep value where it belongs.
- 5
We charge a transparent membership — not a cut.
KES 1,000/month or KES 10,000/year covers our verification, security and platform costs. No booking commission. No buyer protection fee. No hidden seller charges.
