Apartment & Condo Homestay in Malaysia
66 apartment and condo homestays across Malaysia, ranked by cleanliness, host responsiveness, facilities, and location. See what to check before you book.
What this category covers
An apartment or condo homestay is a privately let unit inside a residential building, rented out short-term instead of a hotel room. In Malaysia this spans everything from a one-bedroom unit near KLCC or Bukit Bintang, to a family-sized suite in Penang's George Town, a highlands unit in Genting, or a beach-facing block in Kota Kinabalu. You get a full kitchen, a living area, and access to whatever the building offers: pool, gym, covered parking, security gate. It suits families, longer stays, and anyone who wants more space than a hotel room for the same money. We track 66 of these listings across the country.
What to look for before you book
- Building facilities that actually work: a pool photo means nothing if it's been drained for repairs. Recent reviews mentioning the pool, gym, or lift condition are more reliable than the listing photos.
- Access and security: card-access lobbies, visitor registration, and CCTV matter more in condo stays than in a standalone house, especially for late check-ins.
- Parking: confirm whether a bay is included or whether you're paying for visitor parking at the building rate.
- Host responsiveness: condo units are usually managed remotely, so how fast a host answers about lockouts, aircon issues, or early check-in tells you a lot about the stay itself.
- True location: "KLCC area" can mean a 20-minute walk or a 20-minute drive. Check the actual address or building name before booking.
How our ranking works
Our scores weigh cleanliness and upkeep, how accurately the listing matches the unit you actually get, host responsiveness, value against nightly rate, and the quality of the building's facilities and access. We don't take payment to rank a listing higher. For the full breakdown of how each score is built, see our methodology. If you want the shortlist rather than the full directory, our best apartment homestays in Malaysia guide ranks the top performers in this category.

Common questions about apartment & condo homestay
- How much does an apartment or condo homestay cost per night in Malaysia?
- Expect roughly RM100-180 a night for a basic one-bedroom unit outside city centres, RM180-350 for a well-located KL, Penang, or JB condo with a pool and gym, and RM350 upward for larger units or prime views like KLCC or the beachfront. Prices climb during school holidays, festive periods, and major events.
- How far ahead should I book a condo homestay?
- For popular buildings in KL, Penang, or Genting, book 2-4 weeks ahead for a normal weekend and 1-2 months ahead for school holidays or festive periods like Chinese New Year and Hari Raya, when good units sell out fast.
- What should I actually expect on arrival?
- Most condo homestays use self check-in with a smart lock or key box rather than a front-desk handover, so confirm the exact process and parking access before you travel. Basics like towels, a starter pack of toiletries, and a working kitchen are standard; daily housekeeping usually isn't, so ask if you're staying more than a few nights.
- How can I judge the quality of a listing before booking?
- Read recent reviews rather than the overall score alone, and look specifically for mentions of cleanliness on arrival, whether the unit matched the photos, and how the host handled any problems. A unit with consistently good recent reviews beats one with a high score built on old ones.
