The Ho Chi Minh City market
Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 skyline, food scene and growing tourism make it Vietnam's biggest short-term-rental market, with a large condo base serving international visitors. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on a high volume of bookings. A direct-booking website helps HCMC hosts stand out and keep more of every stay.
Short-term-rental rules
Vietnam regulates short-term rentals through business-registration and tax rules, with enforcement increasing. Requirements change, so always verify the current local rules before listing.
