What Tamu's own site says

  • Tamu's site lists RM 149 a month per account for up to 3 properties, with 0% commission.
  • The same site states free setup, a 30-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
  • The site says calendars sync both ways by iCal with Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda, about every 15 minutes.
  • The site says guests pay by bank transfer or on arrival, and that card and FPX payments through Stripe are rolling out.
  • Their site is published in English only on this date, and does not mention monthly rentals.

Why Malaysian operators look for something else

  • Per-account pricing means an owner with one small unit pays RM 149 a month, the same as an owner with three.
  • Owners who want guests to pay by FPX or card today, not once that feature finishes rolling out.
  • An owner renting rooms and beds by the month inside one house wants a price per room, not per house.
  • Monthly rental is a different job from nightly stays: rent schedules, deposits, utility bills and tenancy agreements.

  2. Option 2

    Stay with Tamu

    For: Boutique properties selling nightly stays only.

    Their published RM 149 a month covers up to 3 properties, with free setup, a 30-day trial and two-way iCal with Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. If you run two or three nightly units only, moving may not be worth it.

  3. Option 3

    A spreadsheet, for now

    For: One unit with a few bookings a month.

    Below a certain size any system adds work without adding revenue. The trouble starts at the second unit or the second channel.
