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?

A single commission on actual bookings — nothing when the villa doesn’t earn. The exact rate depends on the villa and the scope of work; message us on WhatsApp and you’ll have our terms the same day.

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.

What could your villa earn?

A transparent estimate, not a sales number: you enter the nightly rate you believe your villa can charge and an occupancy scenario, the calculator applies platform fees, our 20% commission and your running costs, and shows what is left. Then ask us for a real estimate after a visit.

Method

How the estimate is calculated

Gross revenue = your nightly rate × 365 × the occupancy scenario you choose. Platform fees apply to the share of bookings made through Airbnb, Booking.com and similar sites; direct bookings through our site carry none. Our commission is 20% of gross booking revenue. Your running costs are yours to enter: electricity, water, internet, staff, consumables and repairs vary a lot between a two-bedroom townhouse and a nine-bedroom estate.

We deliberately do not preload market occupancy or rate figures: they differ by street and by season, and a number pulled from the air is how owners get disappointed. After a visit we give you a written estimate based on the villas we already run in your area, with the assumptions listed.

What moves the number

Four things that change the result

Pricing: seasonal rates and minimum stays instead of one rate all year.
Photos and listings: the first photo and the first paragraph decide the click.
Reviews: a villa with fifty good reviews books at a higher rate than the same villa with five.
Area and access: see the area pages for who books where and why.

Owner-first terms

20% of actual revenue.
Nothing fixed.

We earn only when you earn: a single 20% commission on the bookings your villa actually makes. No monthly fee, no onboarding fee, no markup on repairs.

Questions owners ask

Income calculator: FAQ

Is this a guaranteed income?

No. It is arithmetic on your own assumptions. A real estimate needs a visit and the data from villas we run nearby.

Why do I have to enter the nightly rate myself?

Because rates differ by street, season and condition, and a preloaded average would mislead you. Look at what similar villas nearby charge, then test scenarios.

What is included in the 20%?

Marketing, pricing, guests, housekeeping supervision, maintenance scheduling, staff supervision, compliance checks and reporting; see pricing.
