Potgieter said the number of registered Domestly users was growing by a few hundred each week, with a “good chunk” from Airbnb hosts. “We are seeing a gradual increase alongside the Airbnb market gearing up for the holiday season as well.” “The Airbnb hosts approached Domestly as they saw the value proposition to their own offerings,” he said. Payment is made electronically.Ĭhief executive officer (CEO) Berno Potgieter told Disrupt Africa partnering with Airbnb hosts was a natural fit as the way Domestly is packaged is a similar methodology, user experience and process to Airbnb, and as a result was a complementary solution. The Cape Town-based startup gives consumers the freedom to choose a professional home cleaner based on their experience and recent reviews, and enables cleaners to confirm job requests and track their work schedules at the click of a button.

Recently launched South African find-a-cleaner app Domestly has partnered on-demand accommodation platform Airbnb on a host level, allowing Airbnb hosts to use Domestly as part of their service experience.ĭisrupt Africa reported last month on the launch of Domestly, which is similar to fellow South African startup SweepSouth in that it is a multi-platform marketplace that connects users with domestic cleaners.
