Mushrooms Stays · For hosts
Your shortlet sits empty 2 of 3 nights. Let's change that.
The average Lagos shortlet books only about 10 nights a month — because the full nightly rate prices out most travelers. List on Mushrooms and verified guests can split the nightly cost with matched, ID-verified others. More people afford your place, so the off-peak and midweek nights that normally sit empty start to book.

Why list on Mushrooms
Guests split the cost — so more can afford you
Verified travelers heading to the same event or area on the same nights get matched and split your nightly rate. Your price becomes accessible to solo and younger travelers who'd otherwise scroll past — the demand that fills empty nights.
Verified guests, escrowed payment
Every guest is phone-verified and identity-checked with a live selfie, and each pays their share into escrow that releases after check-in. Structurally safer than anonymous virtual-card bookings — the honest fix for the guest-trust problem, though house rules and a caution deposit still matter.
A demand channel, not another 20% manager
We don't run your cleaning or check-ins and we don't take a management retainer. We bring you bookings other platforms can't — groups splitting the cost — and a per-booking fee applies only when a booking completes.
Straight talk: splitting fills nights and brings verified, escrowed guests. It doesn't reduce your furnishing, power or cleaning costs — those are yours to manage. We're honest about what this does.
