Short stays and homestays in Malaysia

Frequently asked questions

How much does a short stay cost per night?

Short stays on Hellostay currently cost RM45 to RM95 a night across 7 listings. Weekend, seasonal and date-specific rates can differ, so the booking page shows the full total for your dates before you send a request.

How does check-in work?

You pick your check-in and check-out dates when you book. Once your stay is confirmed, the arrival details for your unit, such as door codes, WiFi and keys, appear in your booking. They are not published on the listing. Booking late at night? Until 12:00 noon you can still choose the previous day as your check-in date.

How do booking and payment work?

Send a booking request with your dates and details. Nothing is charged at that point. The host reviews and approves the request, then you pay using the options shown, such as card, bank transfer, QR or cash. You book direct with the host, and Hellostay adds no commission or service fee.

What is the difference between a short stay and a monthly stay?

A short stay is priced per night and can be booked from one night. A monthly stay is booked in whole months at a monthly rate and billed month by month, and stays longer than three months can carry a refundable deposit. 7 of these listings offer both.

Is a short stay the same as a homestay?

A homestay is a home, room or unit a host lets out for a few nights, which is what a short stay on Hellostay is. Each one is booked direct with its host, and the listing shows the beds, bathrooms and number of guests before you book.
