Accommodation quality checklist service in Kenya

Inspect accommodation against an agreed operational checklist and report observable gaps.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional readiness-review visit: observe six guesthouse rooms against twelve operator-defined checkpoints each, plus five shared-arrival checkpoints, giving 77 recorded observations. Room points cover linen/towel count, visible cleaning presentation, bins, drink-station count, curtains, doors/windows in ordinary use, furniture condition, information card, obvious damage, approved amenity presence and privacy/access readiness. The operator finalizes the list. Deliver evidence and follow-ups, not a tourism star rating, hygiene certificate, electrical test or statutory safety inspection.

Who is the first customer?

Small operators wanting a structured review before guest arrival.

Test the offer

Review one room and shared area using criteria approved by the operator.
