Airbnb Property Management in Dubai: Homevy vs One Perfect Stay
| What to compare | Homevy | One Perfect Stay |
|---|---|---|
| Management fee | Flat 20% on every property, performance-based, no onboarding fee | Not published on its own site. Third-party sources report 20 to 22% for one property and 15 to 18% for several |
| What the technology does | Owner app showing bookings, occupancy, booking values, booking gaps, expenses and payments as the month runs, plus monthly statements | Owner portal with property insights, earnings and ratings, plus smart devices for noise and device monitoring |
| Payouts | Monthly, within the first week | Not published |
| Market presence | Dubai only, founded 2024 | Dubai short-term rentals since 2016, with its site stating more than 150 holiday homes across Dubai and the UAE |
| Distribution | Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google, Homelike and direct through Homevy | More than 50 channels, including Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO |
The Main Difference
Both companies have built technology. They've pointed it at different things.
One Perfect Stay's is aimed at the apartment: smart devices monitoring noise and devices, plus a portal with property insights, earnings and ratings. That answers the party problem and the wear problem and keeping an eye on your property itself.
Homevy's is aimed at your income. The owner app shows bookings, occupancy, booking values, the gaps between reservations, expenses and monthly payments. Property noise monitoring is also something Homevy is actively working on.
Homevy Tip: Ask which policy covers guest damage beyond the security deposit, and whose name is on it.
Why Owners Choose One Perfect Stay
Nine years in Dubai short-term rentals shows in what guests say.
- Listings that score well: several current Airbnb listings managed by One Perfect Stay have ratings of 4.7/5 and higher, with location, cleanliness and communication picked out.
- Property monitoring built in: smart devices for noise and device monitoring.
- The company has more than 50 booking channels, including VRBO alongside the usual two, widening the pool for a property that suits longer leisure stays.
- Dubai holiday-home licensing is sorted rather than left with the owner to chase.
Limitations to Consider with One Perfect Stay
No payout schedule or contract terms published: no payment date, no minimum term, no notice period and no exit position appears on its site. Get the payout day and the position on forward bookings in writing, plus who owns the furniture if you leave.
Performance is a property-level question: Ask for the numbers on units like yours, not just the portfolio's best.
What owner reviews raise: some Trustpilot owner reviews question expected rental income, dashboard visibility and payment timing. Ask what you'll be shown, and how often, before the first month closes.

What to Ask Before Handing Your Property to One Perfect Stay
| Question | Why it matters to you |
|---|---|
| Can I see the owner portal on a screen before I sign? | What it shows you about your calendar, your bookings and your money |
| On what date am I paid, and for which nights? | Monthly is a frequency, not a payment date. Your cashflow depends on the specific date. |
| What's my rate at one property, and what would it be at three? | If the percentage moves with the portfolio, get the whole picture before you sign the first one. |
When One Perfect Stay Service May Be a Better Fit
If you hold three or four units, the arithmetic favours them: a reported 15 to 18% against a flat 20% is money worth asking for. They're also the better call if you want direct property monitoring.
If This Sounds Like You, Choose Homevy
