The Manila market
Manila's Makati and BGC business districts, along with the wider metro's condo stock, support a large short-term-rental market serving corporate and leisure travellers. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on a busy listing base. A direct-booking website helps Manila hosts capture repeat guests and keep more of every stay.
Short-term-rental rules
Manila and other metro cities apply business-permit and zoning rules for short-term rentals, and many condos restrict short stays. Requirements vary, so always verify the current local rules before listing.
