How It Works

How Nnekkie Works

Finding and securing your student lodge through Nnekkie is simple. Here is how the process works from start to finish.

Step 1 — Create Your Account

Sign up with your name, email, and phone number. Select your campus to see lodges near you. Your account keeps all your reservations, payments, and chat history in one place.

Step 2 — Browse Available Lodges

Explore lodges listed near your campus. Filter by category (Self Contained, Single Room, Hostel, etc.), view photos, check available facilities (WiFi, security, generator, water, etc.), and compare prices before making a decision.

Step 3 — Reserve Your Lodge

Found the right lodge? Tap Reserve. You will pay a 20% reservation fee of the combined lodge price and agent fee. This confirms your intent and takes the lodge off the market immediately — no one else can book it once it is reserved by you.

Step 4 — Pay the Agent Fee

Before moving in, pay the outstanding agent fee through the app. The agent fee covers the agent's service in finding and securing the lodge on your behalf.

Step 5 — Complete Move-In Payment

Pay the remaining lodge balance (the annual lodge fee minus the 20% you already paid) to complete your booking. Once this is confirmed, your move-in is approved.

Step 6 — Move In

Your reservation is complete. You will receive a confirmed booking receipt within the app. Present this to the lodge agent or caretaker upon arrival to collect your keys and move in.
