Rent is only half the bill.
Two rooms at the same rent can land four thousand rupees apart once food, electricity and travel are counted. Set your city and room type and we'll show the honest monthly total, using the actual rents we list.

Nine questions to ask every owner
Copy them into your notes app before the first visit. The answers to 1, 3 and 5 are where most disputes start.
- How much is the deposit, and what exactly gets deducted from it?
- Is electricity included, or metered per room?
- What's the notice period if I leave mid-session?
- Are mess timings different on Sunday? Can I skip and pay less?
- Who fixes a broken fan or geyser, and how fast usually?
- What are the gate timings, and what happens if I'm late?
- Is Wi-Fi shared across the building or per floor? What speed?
- How many students share one bathroom?
- Can I see the exact room I'll get, not a sample room?

About Staykro
A listings site that behaves like a rent register.
Staykro started in Sikar, where finding a hostel meant walking the coaching lanes reading phone numbers off wall posters. We thought the numbers should just be written down somewhere.
The rule we hold to
If we haven't seen the room, we say so.
What we do differently
Most accommodation listings in India are lead-generation businesses. The rent is vague, the photos are of some other building, and the phone number belongs to a broker who'll take a month's rent off you.
We built Staykro around three commitments, and we'd rather have fewer listings than break them.
- The rent is published. No “price on request”. If an owner won't publish the rent, the property doesn't go on Staykro.
- Verification means a person went there. A Verified stamp means someone from our team stood in that building. Everything else is labelled Self-listed, plainly, on the card and the page.
- Students pay us nothing. No brokerage, no unlock fee, no premium tier to see a phone number.
How we make money
Owners pay for optional services — professional photography, priority verification, and featured placement within their own locality. Placement never changes the rent shown or hides a cheaper option from your results. Filters and sorting are always honest.

Help
Questions, answered
If yours isn't here, write to us and we'll add it.
For students
Does Staykro charge students anything?
No. Searching, shortlisting, comparing and sending enquiries are all free. We never take a cut of your rent or deposit, and there's no fee to see a property's details.
What does the Verified stamp actually mean?
Someone from our team visited the property, saw the rooms and the mess, and checked the amenities and rent against what the owner submitted. Properties we haven't visited are labelled Self-listed on both the card and the listing page — we don't hide the difference.
Why can't I see the owner's phone number directly?
Published numbers get scraped and turn into spam within days, so owners stop answering unknown calls — which hurts you. Send an enquiry instead and the owner receives your details and calls you back, usually the same day.
Is the rent shown the final amount I'll pay?
The rent shown is the starting monthly rate for the cheapest room type. The listing page also shows the deposit and how food is charged. Electricity is often metered separately, so confirm it during your visit — it's question two on our list.
Can I search near a specific coaching centre or college?
Yes. Search by locality or landmark, and every listing shows walking minutes to the nearest coaching cluster or campus. There's a filter for ten minutes or less.
Where is my shortlist saved?
In this browser, on this device. Close the tab and it stays; open Staykro on your phone and it won't be there yet. Accounts that sync your shortlist are coming.
Something in a listing was wrong when I visited. What do I do?
Tell us through the contact form with the property name and what didn't match. We re-check it, and if the listing was inaccurate we correct it or take it down.
For owners
What does it cost to list a property?
Nothing. Listing and receiving enquiries are free, and we don't take commission on the rent or deposit. Optional paid services exist — photography, priority verification and featured placement in your locality — but a free listing appears in search the same way.
How long until my listing goes live?
Usually about three days: a confirmation call, a visit with photos, then publication with the Verified stamp. If you need it up sooner it can go live as Self-listed and get upgraded after our visit.
How do I update rent or availability?
From the owner dashboard. Change rent, room counts, photos and amenities any time; edits go live after a quick review so listings stay accurate.
Do you share my number publicly?
No. Your number isn't printed on the listing page. Students submit an enquiry and we pass their name and number to you so you can call them.

What Staykro is
Staykro is a discovery platform for student hostels and paying-guest accommodation. We publish listings submitted by property owners and, for listings marked Verified, information confirmed by our team during a visit. We are not a party to any agreement you make with a property owner.
Using the site as a student
- Searching, shortlisting and sending enquiries are free.
- Enquiries must be genuine. Submitting false details or bulk enquiries may get your access blocked.
- Rent, deposit and amenity information is provided by owners. Confirm everything during your visit before paying anything.
Using the site as an owner
- You confirm you own the property or are authorised to list it.
- Listing information must be accurate and current. We may remove listings that are repeatedly reported as inaccurate.
- Photographs you upload must be of the actual property.
Payments and disputes
Staykro does not collect rent, deposits or brokerage from students. Any payment you make goes directly to the property owner, and any dispute over rent, deposit refunds or accommodation quality is between you and the owner. We will help by sharing the listing details we hold, and we act on reports of inaccurate listings.
Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes will be noted on this page with a new date. Continuing to use Staykro after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Contact
Questions about these terms: hello@staykro.com.

What we collect
- When you send an enquiry: your name, mobile number, the room type you want and your intended move-in month.
- When you list a property: your name, mobile number and the property details you submit.
- Automatically: basic usage data such as which listings were viewed, used to improve search results.
Your shortlist is stored in your own browser, not on our servers.
Why we collect it
Enquiry details are shared with the specific property owner you enquired about, so they can call you back. That is the only purpose. We do not sell your data, and we do not pass your number to brokers, other properties or advertisers.
How long we keep it
Enquiry records are kept for twelve months so we can help if a dispute comes up, then deleted. Owner listing data is kept while the listing is active and for twelve months after it is removed.
Your rights
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Write to hello@staykro.com from the number or email you used, and we'll action it within thirty days.
Grievance officer
Complaints about how your data has been handled can be sent to grievance@staykro.com. We acknowledge within seven days and respond within thirty.
Children
Staykro is intended for users aged 18 and above. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should submit enquiries on your behalf.
