Full service

Everything your villa needs,
under one roof.

One team handles it all — so nothing falls between an agency, a cleaner and a handyman who never met each other.

Marketing & listings

Pro photos, listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and our direct-booking site — written to sell, not just to exist.

Pricing & occupancy

Seasonal rate strategy and calendar management across all channels — one calendar, zero double bookings.

Guest care 24/7

Fast replies, smooth check-ins, on-the-ground help at any hour. Happy guests return — and review well.

Housekeeping

Cleaning, linen, pool and garden on a strict schedule — the villa looks like its photos every single day.

Maintenance & repairs

Preventive checks and quick fixes by our own crew — small issues never grow into expensive ones.

Owner reports

Monthly statement of every booking and every expense. You always know what came in and what went where.

Compliance help

Guidance on permits, taxes and guest registration in Bali — done properly, before it becomes a problem.

Staff management

We hire, train and schedule villa staff — or work with your existing team and level them up.

How it starts

From first call to first payout
in four steps.

No long paperwork marathons. Most villas go live within two weeks of the first visit.

Villa visit & assessment

We view the villa, estimate realistic income and tell you honestly what to fix before launch — if anything.

Simple agreement

One clear contract: commission, responsibilities, exit terms. No fine print, no lock-in tricks.

Launch

Photos, listings, pricing and staff routines set up by our team. Your calendar opens across all channels.

Guests in, report out

We host, clean, fix and reply. You receive bookings, a monthly report and your income. That’s it.

Owner-first terms

20% of actual revenue.
Nothing hidden.

We earn only when you earn: a single 20% commission on actual bookings. No fixed monthly fees, no onboarding fee, no markup on repairs. What the 20% covers.

The place is very beautiful, in a quiet region. All bedrooms are suites with a neat decoration, clean and with amenities. Pool is nice and clear. Eva was super proactive and very communicative, easy to talk and always helping.

We had a great stay at this villa and really enjoyed our time there. The villa is beautiful, comfortable, and in a great location in Canggu. It’s very close to the beach, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, beach clubs, and other places nearby, which makes it a great choice for anyone looking to stay in Canggu. The host was also very responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. Everything we…

宿はとても清潔で、サヌールの大通りにも出やすい立地でした。 幼い子供のためにベビーベッドも貸し出してくださり、プールも消毒されていて、安心して過ごすことができました! ただ宿の実際の住所が、記載されていた住所と異なっていたため、Grabで向かう際には注意が必要だと思いました。

This Villa is beautiful and a wonderful stay! The open Roman style architecture makes it feel very inviting with the beautiful yard by the river that you can hear running through the evening. The staff were very responsive and the owner is very nice, involved and accommodating. My sister and our children did not want to leave and it’s walking distance to a ton of shops and amazing cafés and restaurants. And about …

Questions owners ask

Villa management FAQ

How much can my villa earn in Bali?
It depends on area, size, condition and season — a realistic range only makes sense after a viewing. We’ll give you an honest estimate based on villas we already run in Sanur, Canggu, Umalas and Ungasan, not a number designed to win the contract.
What does management cost?
20% of actual booking revenue, nothing fixed and nothing when the villa doesn’t earn. Repairs, consumables and utilities are billed at cost with receipts. See the pricing page for what the 20% covers.
Can I still stay in my own villa?
Of course. We block owner dates in the calendar whenever you want — many of our owners spend part of the year in their villa and rent it the rest of the time.
Who handles guests at 2am?
We do. Our team is in Bali, guest support runs 24/7, and owners are never woken up by a broken air-con or a late check-in.
My villa is already listed on Airbnb — what changes?
We take over the listings (or rebuild them properly), sync one calendar across all channels, add our direct-booking site on top and manage pricing per season. Existing future bookings are honoured — nothing is cancelled.
