Hi,

Does anyone here book airbnb for JB accomodation?

I have been booking a couple of studio in JB and I was wondering what was the average amount you are paying?

I have been booking most of these properties in Mt Austin, Plentong, Taman Molek area. Seems to be quite difficult to find much airbnb around bukit indah area.

I booked Mt Austin Midori Green at around S$30+ for a nite for a 2 bedroom airbnb.

Bt Indah got a few what. I booked one 2 years ago at S$60+ per nite in Bt Indah (near Giant Bt Indah).

I just stayed at this airBnB next to Legoland, 10 min drive from Bukit Indah. Paid a little more over X'mas.

Most of the Bukit Indah apartment (Whole condo) is usually more than 70 which doesnt really make sense for me as the hotels there are around 50-70 sing (Granada/V-5 etc)

Agree. Airbnb still need to add cleaning fee & pay admin fee = hotels offer better value. Don bother abt airbnb in JB.

Yup, airbnb is useful for staying in expensive cities, like San Francisco, or New York, but a hotel in JB would probably be a little more expensive or around the same price.

If couple book hotel is cheaper. Family book airbnb is cheaper. 2 bedrooms condo with swimming pool costs S$60 onwards in Bt Indah.

Most airbnb units are managed by property/rental agents acting on behalf of the owners. Same goes to Japan, Korea and so on.


My experience for airbnb in JB is so so only. Booked a family sized 3-bedroom unit at KSL, short vacation with extended family, so quite worth it, plus location is good. Gave me parking pass. The furnishing and amenities are very very basic. The unit itself is good, spacious, view, etc. But the amenities like bed, bedsheet, pillow, blanket, shower, heater, towels, soaps, tv, are below par.

I think it is worth it to get it only at Mendini area if you are visiting legoland.

With more properties coming up very soon around the area, anyone who wish to get an airbnb apartment will be spoil of choices.

These are usually own by investor who wants to make the most profits. So they used the cheapest furniture they can find. Don’t be surprised if there are discarded furniture.

Yah. Agree. So the owner have to out do each other, else no 2nd visit.

I like a particular unit at tebrau city. So much so I stay there three times. Very family oriented. All furnishings, kitchen ware TOP notch.
