Startup Competition 2026

01 / Problem

Booking a Guest House in Algeria Is Broken

No Central Discovery

Listings scattered across Facebook, WhatsApp, word of mouth.

Zero Booking Confidence

No verified reviews, no pricing clarity, no cancellation policy.

Invisible to Travelers

Guest houses have no digital presence, no tools to manage bookings.

Payment Friction

No adapted payment options matching local realities.

3.5M+ tourists visited Algeria in 2024 — yet booking a local stay remains analog.

02 / Solution

One Platform. Two Sides. One Ecosystem.

MUDYAF digitizes the entire guest-house experience — for travelers and hosts alike.

15% commission. Multiple revenue layers.

B2B2C. Defensible. Scalable.
