PILOT first hosts Haus stap — ples bilong slip long olgeta hap

A place to stay, anywhere in PNG.

Haus Stap lists guest houses, rooms and lodges from Vanimo to Alotau. Hosts list what they have; travellers find it on the map, book with their BM ID and pay through BSP Pay — with the host paid out by BM after the stay.

Sign in with your PNG phone number — a one-time code is sent by SMS. No password, no app store. Hosts and guests use the same login.

What it does

For hosts with a spare room and travellers with a long road.

Hosts

List a room in minutes

Photos, price, amenities and house rules. Set which nights are open; guests can only book what you have marked available.

Map

Find it on the map

Real locations, filters for price and amenities, and the things that matter here: power, water, Wi-Fi, security, meals.

Book

Book and pay on the phone

Pay the stay through BSP Pay or the BM wallet at booking. The host sees a confirmed, paid booking — no deposit chasing.

Payout

Hosts paid by BM

Money is held by BM until the stay and paid out to the host's verified bank account, net of the fee shown at listing.

Reviews

Both sides review

Guests review the stay, hosts review the guest. Good hosts rise; bad experiences are visible.

Business

Work travel, sorted

Companies and projects can book rooms for staff in remote towns with one receipt trail.

How it works

Booking a stay.

Prices and availability are set by the host; the booking and payment are created by the server so a paid booking can never overlap.

  1. 1Guest signs in, searches the map, picks a room and dates
  2. 2Pays through BSP Pay or the BM wallet — the booking is confirmed at once
  3. 3Host gets the booking with the guest's BM ID and arrival details
  4. 4After the stay both review; BM pays the host out
Built on the BM rails

Built on the BM rails.

Haus Stap uses BM ID for hosts and guests, BM Pay for payment and payout, and the licensed wallet to hold the money in between.

  • Blockchain Melanesia holds a Bank of Papua New Guinea e-money licence — money in the app is regulated stored value.
  • Payments run through BM Pay on BSP Pay: CIF and mobile OTP, no card details typed into a phone.
  • Payment is held by BM until the stay — guests are not asked to send deposits to strangers.
  • Hosts are paid only to a bank account BM staff have verified.
  • Your phone number is your ID: one-time SMS codes, no passwords, the same BM ID in every BM app.
Questions

Askim na bekim

The things people ask before they try it.

Is Haus Stap live?

It is in pilot with the first hosts. Listings are growing town by town; if you have rooms to let, talk to us.

What does a host pay?

A percentage of each booking plus a small booking fee, shown when you list. Nothing to list.

Can a guest cancel?

Each listing shows its cancellation terms before you pay; refunds follow those terms through BM Pay.

Does it work for lodges and camps?

Yes — anything with a bed and a price: guest houses, lodges, camp rooms, spare rooms in a family home.

Ready?

List a room or find one.
