Run every rental property from one app.
You manage properties for owners. Makanzaa keeps every booking, cleaner, bill and owner payment in one place, so you can stop juggling chat groups, notebooks and spreadsheets.
Four steps. That is the whole system.
Your team does the same work it does today. Makanzaa keeps it in one place and does the maths for you.
- 1
Add your properties and owners
Enter each property once: its owner, address, your fee and photos. About five minutes each.
You, the manager - 2
Put every booking in one calendar
Airbnb and Booking.com dates come in on their own. Add direct, WhatsApp and walk-in guests in a few taps. Double bookings are refused.
You and your office staff - 3
Cleaners get their jobs on their phone
When a guest checks out, the cleaner sees the job, cleans and uploads photos. No phone calls needed.
Your cleaners - 4
Owners see exactly what they earned
At month end Makanzaa adds up stays, takes off your fee and the bills, and makes a PDF statement. Owners log in from anywhere.
The property owners
Three kinds of people use it. Each sees only what they need.
Your company pays for Makanzaa. Your cleaners and your property owners use it free.

Built to hold less sensitive data, not more.
No ID images or numbers
Staff tick "Guest ID checked" and Makanzaa records who checked. ID cards and passport copies are never uploaded.
No bank or card numbers
Owner payout details are a short note. The database rejects anything that looks like an account number.
Each company is sealed off
Your data is separated from every other company inside the database, not only on screen.
Owners see first names only
Owners see guest first names and dates. Guest phone numbers stay with your office.
Private photos and receipts
Files sit in private storage. Only images up to 5 MB are accepted.
Audit log
Role changes, deletes and statement changes are logged with who did it and when.
What managers ask us first
Does Makanzaa connect to Airbnb and Booking.com?+
Yes, through iCal links. Makanzaa imports blocked dates on a schedule and gives each property its own export link, so the platforms also see your WhatsApp bookings. Full two-way API connections need partner approval and are on our roadmap.
Do my cleaners need a new app?+
No. Cleaners open Makanzaa in their phone browser, see only their own tasks, add photos and mark them done.
Can owners see guest phone numbers?+
No. Owners see guest first names, dates, revenue, expenses and photos. Guest contact details stay with your team.
How do you handle cash payments?+
Each booking records cash, bank transfer or platform payout, plus how much has been paid, so balances due are always visible.
Can guests search and book rooms on Makanzaa?+
No. Guests keep booking on Airbnb, Booking.com or WhatsApp like today. Makanzaa is the back office where your company runs those bookings, cleaners, bills and owner payments.
Who pays for Makanzaa?+
Only the management company. Your office staff, cleaners and property owners use it free.
Which countries and businesses is Makanzaa for?+
Any team that runs short-stay rentals for owners: rental management companies, serviced apartments, guest houses and small hotels. Prices are shown in your local currency. The app is in English today, with more languages planned.
What happens to my data if I leave?+
Your data belongs to you. During the pilot we export your properties, bookings and statements on request.
We are onboarding three management companies for a 2-month pilot.
Create your company account now, or message us and we will set it up with your real properties and train your team.
