Tempahlah alternatives for homestay operators in Malaysia
Tempahlah is a Malaysian homestay SaaS: a free plan for one homestay, Pro at RM 49 and Ultra at RM 89 a month, with no commission. It is built for nightly bookings. UrusPro runs monthly rentals in the same system: first listing free, then RM 10 a month per homestay listing and RM 3 per room.
What Tempahlah's own site says
- Tempahlah's site lists three monthly plans: Free at RM 0, Pro at RM 49 a month and Ultra at RM 89 a month, with a 7-day trial on the paid plans.
- The Free plan is listed for one homestay, four rooms and 20 bookings a month, with manual payment such as bank transfer or cash.
- Pro is listed for three homestays and Ultra for unlimited homestays; the limits are counted in homestays, rooms and bookings.
- The page states 0% commission on every plan, including bookings from their own marketplace, and no contract.
- Their homepage states 200+ hosts across 14 states, and the site is published in both Malay and English.
- The footer states Tempahlah Sdn Bhd, and they offer a 20% referral commission for 12 months.
Why Malaysian operators look for something else
- The limits are counted in homestays and bookings, so an owner letting rooms one by one has to redo that arithmetic for their own units.
- A monthly tenant is not a nightly booking: rent schedules, deposits, utility bills and agreements do not fit in a booking count.
- An owner mixing homestay and monthly rooms in the same house does not want two separate systems for one building.
Options, by situation

Monthly rent, rent schedules, deposits, utility bills and tenancy documents sit in the same unit as the nightly bookings. First listing free, then RM 10 a month for each homestay listing and RM 3 a month for each room or bed let monthly.

If nightly bookings are the whole job and their plan fits your unit count, switching systems adds work without adding revenue.
Start on their free plan
Their free plan is listed for one homestay and 20 bookings a month. Below that line, any paid system adds cost and nothing else.
