Why Airbnbs are rapidly gaining popularity in Kenya

By Catherine Simona

Most families, colleagues, groups, and even couples would prefer Airbnbs over other options and the reasons why are outlined below:

What makes Airbnbs so appealing is the unmatched privacy and freedom they provide. You get an entire apartment to yourself, free from the distractions of shared spaces. It’s your own personal haven — stay up late, have breakfast at night, or simply do things your way. The beauty of it all? You set the pace and create your own rhythm throughout your stay.

Choosing an Airbnb gives you more value and affordability especially for groups of people; friends, family or colleagues. Splitting the cost with more people reduces the individual contribution since with an Airbnb house, you pay for the entire house and not per room, which is cheaper and more affordable. There is even accommodation arrangement flexibility since you can opt to share beds, bring sleeping bags, making it easy to fit a large number of people who are ready to share their space with others.

Airbnb opens doors to endless destinations — from coastal escapes and lakeside cottages to suburban homes and national park hideouts. Each stay brings a sense of authenticity, letting guests explore the rich cultures and traditions of every region. Travelers can pick exactly where and how they want to stay, with the added bonus of space, privacy, and convenience; multiple rooms, a shared living area, kitchen, and outdoor space, all exclusively theirs.

Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something special about cooking your own meals especially for those who find joy in it. And if cooking isn’t your thing, you can always hire a chef or order in.

That’s the beauty of Airbnb; it gives you the freedom to choose what works best for you. Plus, everyone gets to stay together under one roof, sharing laughs, stories, and meals, which strengthens bonds between families, friends, or couples.

Many Airbnbs are perfect for families, offering plenty of space and family-friendly extras like pools, playgrounds, gyms, and gardens. This means you don’t have to spend extra money on outings or activities, the fun is right where you’re staying. Plus, with a fully equipped kitchen, you can easily prepare meals your way, shop for what you love, and keep even the fussiest eaters happy.

Unlike traditional hotels, Airbnbs offer flexible check-in and check-out times, allowing guests to arrive early or leave late when the property’s schedule permits. Some, such as Pazuri Holidays and Greenpark Staycations, even provide complimentary airport transfers, ensuring a seamless and stress-free travel experience. This flexibility gives guests the comfort and convenience they need for a truly relaxing holiday.

Whether you need a weekend escape, a snug holiday home, a reunion spot, or a romantic hideaway, you’re just a call away from it all.
