Frequently asked questions
Everything guests usually ask before booking direct.
Why book direct instead of through Airbnb?
They’re exactly the same units, run by the same Superhost — but booking direct means you pay our best available rate without platform service fees added on top, and you talk straight to us on WhatsApp before, during and after your stay.
How do I know this is legit?
StayBetter is run by the same Superhost profile you see on Airbnb — 4.94★ across 279 reviews. Payment is processed securely online through our booking system, every reservation is confirmed in writing, and you can WhatsApp Drew directly at any time.
What is the cancellation policy?
Flexible: cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your scheduled check-in.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Exact times are shown on each property’s booking page. Need an early check-in or late check-out? Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll do our best to arrange it.
Is parking included?
Most stays include free parking — ARC Austin Hills, Centra Residences and Botanika include two dedicated spaces each, and Austin Perdana is a landed home with its own private parking. Details are on each listing’s booking page.
How many people can each stay fit?
From 7 guests at ARC Austin Hills up to 13 at the Austin Perdana landed house. Every listing shows its exact bed and bathroom count — or tell us your group size on WhatsApp and we’ll match you to the right one.
Are pets allowed?
Austin Perdana, our landed house, is pet-friendly. The high-rise condos generally can’t take pets due to building rules — message us on WhatsApp if you’re unsure.
Where exactly are the stays located?
All five are in prime Johor Bahru areas: Mount Austin (near IKEA, Toppen and AEON), Bandar Dato Onn, and Tebrau near Mid Valley Southkey. Each property card has a “Map” link showing the exact area.
