We do not publish in-house reviews. What we publish are numbered cases from apartments we actually operate, one owner video testimonial, and links to the external review platforms where the comments never pass through us.
Each case below compares the same apartment in two worlds: a standard 12-month lease, and holiday-home operation run by Medini Homes. The short-let amounts are owner net after commission, not gross platform revenue.
The commission deducted in each case is detailed on the Pricing page. For a range on your own property, use the revenue calculator.

Read this before comparing
These four apartments are real properties from our portfolio, not simulations. The "annual lease" amount is the Bayut market reference rent for the same property type in the same building or area. The "short-let" amount is owner net after management commission, over a rolling 12 months. Your figure depends on your property.
