Questions
What owners ask us
How much do you charge?
One management fee, calculated on what guests pay after the booking platforms' commissions. We confirm the rate for your apartment in your written estimate. VAT applies to our fee only. Setup is free, and your first month is commission-free.
What do I pay for?
Our fee, and the running costs of your apartment. Linen, laundry, photography and insurance are at our cost; as is usual in Dubai, cleaning after each stay is charged to the guest with the booking. You pay for utilities, repairs, replacing furniture or appliances and the DET permit, each shown in your statement with its receipt.
When do I get paid?
Your statement is in the app on the 5th and we pay you on the 10th, without a request. Payouts are in AED, or in USD or EUR on request, to an account in the UAE or abroad.
Can I leave if it doesn't work for me?
Yes. Give 30 days' notice and leave without a penalty. For bookings already confirmed for dates after you leave, they are completed on the same terms, or handled as you decide with us. Either way, there is no penalty for you.
What does switching to you cost?
Nothing. Your new DET permit, photography and new listings are on us, and we check your current contract with you before you give notice.
Will you spend money without asking me?
Not above AED 1,000 per item. Anything more waits for your approval by email, with a photo and a quote, unless the work is urgent to protect the apartment or guests.
What if a guest damages something?
We check the apartment after each check-out and log it with photos. Damage is claimed from the guest's deposit and the booking platform, and what we recover goes into the repair. Normal wear and tear is not a guest claim.
Can I stay in my apartment?
Yes, up to 30 nights a year, with 30 days' notice, on dates that are not already booked.
Why can't I see your apartments online?
We don't publish a catalogue of the homes we run. Guests find them on the platforms they already use. Ask us, and we will show you examples similar to yours.
Is there an offer for new owners?
Your first month is commission-free, and in month 13 we refund one month's fee, as set out in the agreement. There is no lock-in attached to the offer.
I live abroad. Does that matter?
No. You sign the agreement in the app, follow every booking from anywhere, and receive payouts to the account of your choice.
Can I read the agreement before I decide?
Yes. Ask for a copy with your estimate. Every term in the comparison table above is a clause in it.
Can I see the app before I sign?
Yes. Ask for a walkthrough and we will show you a sample account. Owners get their own access when they sign.
