Our Homestay Philosophy

Not just renovation.
A homestay success strategy.

Every design decision we make is tied to your listing's performance. From the first photo a guest sees online to the moment they walk through the door — we engineer spaces that get booked, loved, and shared. Over and over again.

01

First impressions get bookings.

Your listing photos are the product. We design spaces that look incredible online and convert browsers into guests.

02

Great spaces earn great reviews.

5-star guest experiences come from thoughtful design — flow, comfort, lighting, and the small details that matter.

03

Design is your 24/7 marketing.

A well-designed space markets itself through guest photos, word of mouth, and repeat bookings for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Homestay & Airbnb
Renovation in Malaysia.

Common questions from Airbnb hosts and homestay investors. Have something specific? Just WhatsApp us.

How much does Airbnb / homestay renovation cost in Malaysia?

+
Airbnb and homestay renovation costs in Malaysia typically start from around RM 20,000 for a studio, while a 3-bedroom unit ranges from RM 35,000 upward. The investment depends on unit size, scope of work, and finish level. BYD Design provides a clear, line-item budget after a free site assessment — no hidden costs, no surprise variations.

How long does an Airbnb renovation take?

+
Most homestay and Airbnb renovations complete in 2 to 4 weeks from concept approval to handover. Smaller studio refreshes are at the faster end; larger units with custom carpentry take up to 4 weeks. We sequence work to minimise the time your unit is off the listing.

Do you only design Airbnb units in Kuala Lumpur?

+
We design homestay and Airbnb properties across the Klang Valley — KL, Selangor, Putrajaya — and selectively in other Malaysian cities. Most of our work is concentrated in KLCC, Bukit Bintang, Bukit Jalil, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and Pudu — high-demand short-term rental zones.

Will the renovation actually increase my Airbnb nightly rate?

+
Yes — that's the entire point. Our designs are engineered for listing-photo impact, guest experience, and 5-star reviews. Portfolio averages: 4.9★ guest rating, 90%+ occupancy, and 30–50% higher nightly rates vs. comparable un-designed units in the same building.

Do you handle the full setup or just the design?

+
Full setup. Concept, renovation, custom carpentry from our own factory, furniture sourcing, lighting, soft furnishings, and final styling. We hand over a fully Airbnb-ready, photographable, bookable unit. You can list the same week we finish.

Can you design for both Airbnb (short-stay) and long-term rental?

+
Yes. The two have different design priorities — short-stay needs photo-driven impact and durability for high turnover; long-term needs liveability and tenant-friendly storage. We tailor the approach based on which market you're targeting (or both, if you want a hybrid).
