NKOMON
Find and book hotels in Benin, Togo, Ghana, Nigeria & more
Booking a hotel in West Africa means calling around, negotiating on WhatsApp, or trusting random listings with no photos. NKOMON changes that. 800+ verified hotels, guesthouses and villas across Benin, Togo, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Gabon. Real photos, real prices. No prepayment — guests pay directly at the hotel. NKOMON means "I found it" in Fon, a language spoken in Benin. Built from Cotonou by a solo developer.
Hey everyone, I'm Serge, solo developer and founder of NKOMON, based in Cotonou, Benin.
I started this project because booking a hotel in West Africa is still a painful experience. Most platforms don't cover our region, and when they do, the listings are outdated or overpriced. Locally, people rely on word of mouth or WhatsApp groups to find a room. That works, but it shouldn't be the only option.
NKOMON now lists 800+ properties across 10 countries. Hotels, guesthouses, apartments, villas. Every listing has real photos and real prices. Guests pay directly at the hotel — no online payment, no middleman fee for travelers.
I built the entire platform myself — backend, frontend, infrastructure. Laravel, AngularJS, AWS. It's been a long road, but the product is live and growing.
I'd love your feedback. What works, what doesn't, what you'd want to see next. And if you know anyone traveling to West Africa, send them our way.
