The Quick Answer
Owners who hold property in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and want one company across the two, tend to go with Maison Privée. Owners who want a manager doing one market properly, with the pricing, guest expectations and DTCM permit knowledge that come from working only in Dubai, tend to use Homevy.
How Homevy and Maison Privée Compare
| What to compare | Homevy | Maison Privée |
|---|---|---|

| Markets covered | Dubai only, as at 2026 | Dubai and Abu Dhabi |
| Contract terms | Flexible, no multi-year lock-in. Owner stays free and unlimited | The company says owners don't need a long-term lease and can take the property back on three months' notice |
| Owner reporting | Owner app on iOS and Android, plus monthly statements | Monthly statements showing income and expenditure by property. No owner app described on the pages reviewed |

What Separates Homevy from Maison Privée
Maison Privée runs vacation and corporate rentals across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and Booking.com lists 346 properties under its name. Homevy runs Dubai only, as at 2026.
Two emirates means one relationship for an owner holding units in both. One emirate means pricing, permit handling and area knowledge built for a single market, because there isn't a second one splitting the attention.
What Maison Privée Gets Right
Maison Privée's public reviews concentrate on the properties and the service around a stay.
- Prime locations: Guests frequently highlight properties close to Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina, which are the addresses that price best on short stays.
- A published exit route: The company says owners don't need a long-term lease and can reclaim the property on three months' notice. Few managers in this market publish a notice period at all.
- Responsive guest service: Some guests praised how quickly help arrived when they raised a request mid-stay.
- Reporting by property: Owners receive a monthly statement showing income and expenditure for each property, which makes a multi-unit portfolio easier to read.
What Reviews Say About Maison Privée
- Maison Privée doesn't publish a current management fee. The only specific figure we could find was 25% of revenue, reported by The National in 2019, which is old enough that it may no longer describe what an owner pays.
- The owner pages reviewed don't state a payout date.
- Certain Google reviews of Maison Privée report cleanliness problems, faulty fixtures, plumbing leaks, slow responses and refused refunds. These are guest accounts rather than owner ones, so treat them as a prompt to check how a specific unit performs.

Ask Maison Privée These Before You Commit
| Question | Why it matters to you |
|---|---|
| What is the current management percentage, and what comes off before it's applied? | The figure in circulation dates from 2019. Only a current written rate tells you your net. |
| When is rental income calculated, and what date does it reach my account? | Monthly reporting and monthly payment are different |
| How do I see bookings and occupancy between statements? | A month is a long time to wait to find out that a slow week went unpriced. |
| Which team handles my property day to day, Dubai or Abu Dhabi? | Two-emirate coverage is useful. It's less useful if your unit is the one being covered from the other city. |
Who Maison Privée Suits
Property owners who:
- Hold units in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi and would rather deal with one company across the two.
- Own a premium apartment or villa at a prime address and want it positioned for corporate and vacation guests rather than the general short-stay market.
- Want the option to reclaim their property on a stated notice period.
- Prefer a hotel-service approach, where the stay is built around a standard set of services rather than around the individual property.
