What we manage for Penang property owners

A complete short-stay operations system — so you don't touch a guest, a key or a platform dashboard.

Listing Setup & Optimisation

Photography brief, copywriting, pricing setup across Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda.

Dynamic Pricing

Daily rate tuning based on demand, events and competitor benchmarks.

Guest Communication

Vetting, enquiries, check-in instructions and in-stay support. Urgent access-related matters are prioritised; non-urgent enquiries after 10pm are handled the following day.

Housekeeping & Linen

Hotel-grade turnovers, linen swap, amenity restock, inspection sign-off.

Maintenance Coordination

Triage, vendor dispatch, owner approval on anything above threshold.

Monthly Owner Reporting

Statement by month-end — bookings, revenue, deductions, payout.

What MyBnB charges

70/30
70% owner · 30% MyBnB

A profit share of net operating profit — not of gross revenue. No fixed monthly fee, no listing fee, no separate management onboarding fee. No positive net operating profit in a month means no MyBnB management fee for that month — unit operating expenses, agreed one-time setup costs and ownership commitments can still apply.

What "net operating profit" means

Net operating profit is gross booking revenue for the month (Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda, including any guest cleaning fee collected) less that unit's own operating costs: OTA commissions, housekeeping and linen, guest consumables, utilities and Wi-Fi, JMB/MC charges, the unit's channel-manager and pricing subscriptions, and repair parts or third-party contractor invoices. It does not deduct MyBnB staff salaries, office overhead or our internal software, and it does not include ownership costs such as loan instalments, insurance, assessment or quit rent.

Every worked example on this site uses one illustrative cost assumption: unit-specific operating costs of roughly 40% of gross booking revenue (illustrative band 35–45%), not a measured portfolio average. Net operating profit is therefore about 60% of gross, and the owner's 70% share works out at roughly 42% of gross. Adjust it to your own unit; your actual costs will differ.

One illustrative month
Gross booking revenue, including any guest cleaning fees collectedRM 6,000
Agreed unit operating expensesRM 2,400
Net operating profitRM 3,600
Owner's 70% shareRM 2,520
MyBnB's 30% management shareRM 1,080

Illustrative standard-model example only. Actual results vary. This example excludes one-time setup charges and ownership costs. Any separate agreed settlements may affect the cash paid to the owner.

Owner cases and illustrative scenarios

Each page is labelled for what it is. Verified owner cases publish MyBnB's own statement figures with their reporting period — they are company-published records, not independent audits. Illustrative scenarios contain no verified owner figures.

Reno · Rent · Manage

MyBnB is part of our Reno · Rent · Manage property-solutions ecosystem, working alongside specialist sister brands — MyReno (rental-ready renovation and furnishing), MyRoom (room-rental and co-living management) and MyLoft (whole-unit rental management). Owners who need a unit furnished or refreshed before going live can move directly into MyReno without restarting the brief.

How onboarding works

Approximately 3–4 weeks is an estimated setup period, subject to property readiness, any required approvals and platform approval. It is not a commitment that approvals will be obtained within that period.

1
Property assessment

Send your development name, property type, layout and address. We review short-stay suitability against title, approved use, applicable requirements and building rules. Our assessment does not replace authority approval.

2
Scope and quote

Where setup work is needed — professional photography, furnishing, styling or guest-ready preparation — it is scoped and quoted before any work starts. There is no separate management onboarding fee.

3
Listing launch

Listing setup and pricing across Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda, with housekeeping, linen and maintenance coordination arranged around your unit.

4
Ongoing operations and reporting

Guest communication, pricing tuning, turnovers and maintenance coordination, with an itemised monthly statement. Monthly owner statement and payout by month-end.
