Pioneering Malaysia's Short-Term Rental Revolution

COBNB stands at the forefront of Malaysia's burgeoning short-term rental sector, offering a comprehensive suite of services that cater to property owners and travelers alike. From Kuala Lumpur's city centre to the scenic outskirts, COBNB's presence is felt as they manage properties, facilitate co-living experiences, and even provide renovation services.

As Malaysia gradually opens its doors to the global home-sharing phenomenon, COBNB is strategically positioned to harness the potential of this sector, which is projected to reach a staggering US$1.010 billion in 2023. Their services not only offer property owners an avenue for income generation but also promise travelers authentic, immersive, and personalised holiday experiences. We speak with Bernard Lim, as we explore the intricacies of the short-term rental industry, COBNB's growth trajectory, and the future of home-sharing in Malaysia.
