Arabian Awards Nominates Homevy as Dubai’s Best Short-Term Rental Management Company

We got an email this week that stopped us right in our tracks. It was easy to scroll right past…until we read it properly.

Homevy has been nominated as the best short-term rental management company in Dubai at the Arabian Best of Best Awards.

We had to read it twice.

Now here’s the thing about a nomination like this: it does not entirely belong to us.

• It belongs to the owners who handed us their keys back when we were smaller and still proving ourselves.
• It belongs to the guests who left 5-star reviews mentioning a handwritten letter they were not expecting.
• It belongs to our team that constantly gives their all and then some more.

So before anything else: THANK YOU. This one is yours as much as it is ours.

The Nomination for Best Short-Term Rental Management Company in Dubai: What Does it Mean for Homevy?

Getting this nomination by the Arabian Best of Best awards recognises the work that our owners and guests already know: Homevy runs holiday homes in Dubai to a TOP TIER standard.

A standard most of the market does not reach.

Awards can feel like noise at times. A logo for the website, a line in the bio, and not much else. This one is wildly different, because of what the category measures.

Homevy being the best Airbnb management company in Dubai is about who does the work, night after night, property after property, until the results do the talking.

And the results have been talking for a while now.

How Does Homevy Outperform the Dubai Short-term Rental Market?

Homevy properties hold a 91% average occupancy rate, well above the typical Dubai short-term rental, while keeping premium nightly rates instead of discounting to fill the calendar.

Anyone can fill an apartment by slashing the price…but outperforming the market means staying booked and staying profitable at the same time, and doing it through the rough patches too.

And speaking of rough patches…

We have done exactly that through a stretch that humbled plenty of operators. As Dubai absorbed the shock of conflict and the travel slowdown that came with it, a lot of Dubai listings had reduced occupancy. Ours still held against the market.

Homevy kept its bookings, kept its ratings, and kept its owners paid.

We also hold Airbnb Superhost status, the badge reserved for roughly the top 1% of hosts worldwide. Our properties carry a 4.9 rating across Airbnb and Google, and have held steady across more than 5,000 guest nights.

And close to 15 in every 100 guests come back to book with us again, an unusually high repeat rate for this city.

Now numbers like that do not happen by accident in a market this competitive. They happen because someone cares about the small stuff.

Building Dubai’s Most Intentional Holiday Homes Company

Beyond the recognition, our intentionality is something we refuse to drop as we scale.

Eg: how every Homevy guest walks into a handwritten welcome letter – with real ink and their actual name. A guidebook on where to eat within walking distance of the apartment, where to hang out, and literally everything else.

People often ask why we do not just print our letters. The answer is simple: the day we stop caring enough to write the letter is the day we have lost the thing that makes us US.

That word, intentional, is a standard we hold, not a tagline we picked. It shows up in how we hire too. All of our work runs through a team that actually gives a DAMN: ops, guest experience, the people who answer at 2am when a guest locks themselves out.

What Technology Does Homevy Use to Manage Dubai Airbnb properties?

Homevy builds its own tools instead of renting the same off-the-shelf software as everyone else, and that toolset is a big reason occupancy holds where the market goes low.

The newest is Homevy Score.

Paste in any Airbnb listing URL and it scores the listing against the top performers in that area, then hands back a ranked list of fixes. It started as an internal audit tool. Then we realised owners everywhere needed it, so we opened it up.

Before that came these property management tools:

• The property owner dashboard, where you watch your bookings, reviews, and real numbers in real time. No chasing us for a report at month-end.

• The STR vs LTR Comparison Tool, which tells you honestly whether your property earns more on short stays or on a long lease.

• The Airbnb income calculator, built on actual Dubai market data, so your earnings projection is realistic instead of wishful.

• The Property Performance Optimizer, which watches the market and flags pricing, listing, and operational changes before they cost you money.

All of these are the real reason a Homevy property stays booked always.
