Question 1

What is SenangStay?

Accepted Answer

SenangStay is a comprehensive homestay management platform built specifically for Malaysian property owners and travelers. It helps owners manage bookings, automate surcharges based on school holidays and public holidays, generate AI-powered property listings, track finances, and access a marketplace of local service providers like cleaners and repairmen.

Question 2

Who is SenangStay for?

Accepted Answer

SenangStay serves three groups: homestay owners who want to professionally manage their short-term rental properties; travelers looking to discover and book authentic Malaysian homestay experiences; and service providers (cleaners, repairmen, maintenance workers) who want to connect with homestay owners needing their services.

Question 3

Is SenangStay available across all Malaysian states?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SenangStay supports all Malaysian states and includes state-specific school holiday calendars. Owners can configure their property location, and the platform automatically calculates surcharges based on the relevant state's school holiday schedule.

Question 4

How do I get started as a homestay owner?

Accepted Answer

Contact us through the platform to request a trial account. Once approved, you can log in to the Owner Portal, create your homestay profile, set up room types with pricing, configure school holiday surcharges, and publish your listing.

Question 5

How does the booking management system work?

Accepted Answer

Owners manage all bookings through a calendar-based dashboard. Each booking captures guest details, room type, check-in and check-out dates, and payment status. The system supports manual bookings, online bookings from your public listing, and synced bookings from external platforms like Airbnb via iCal.

Question 6

How are school holiday surcharges calculated?

Accepted Answer

SenangStay automatically detects Malaysian school holidays and public holidays for the relevant state. When a booking overlaps with a holiday period, the system applies the surcharge rate you configure — either a percentage or flat fee.

Question 7

Can I sync with Airbnb, Booking.com, or Google Calendar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SenangStay supports iCal import and export, which is compatible with Airbnb, Booking.com, and most external booking platforms. Google Calendar sync is also available — bookings can be pushed directly to your personal Google Calendar.

Question 8

What is the service provider marketplace?

Accepted Answer

The service provider marketplace connects homestay owners with local cleaners, repairmen, and maintenance workers. Owners can browse verified providers by category and state, book a service, and pay through the platform. Providers get a professional profile, manage their own bookings, and receive earnings via the platform's payout system.

Question 9

How do I register as a service provider?

Visit stay.synaptix-solutions.com/register-provider and complete the registration form. Once submitted, an admin will review and verify your profile. After verification, your profile becomes visible to homestay owners searching for services in your area.
