About our data: Figures drawn from actual booking data across Royale Stays managed properties in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, Business Bay and Mag City.
Guests expect a spotless, fully working apartment on every stay. Royale Stays handles maintenance and inspections as part of full management, so issues get caught and fixed before they affect a booking.
In short
Maintenance, repairs and regular inspections are included in Royale Stays’ management fee, from 15%, alongside pricing, guest communication and setup.
Routine inspections
We inspect managed properties on a regular schedule, separate from Dubai’s own DTCM holiday home inspection requirements, to check appliances, furnishings and general condition between guest stays. For the DTCM’s own inspection requirements, see our DTCM inspection checklist.
Repairs and maintenance
When something breaks during a guest stay, our maintenance team responds directly, typically the same day, without needing the owner involved. Recurring issues are flagged in the monthly performance report so they get addressed properly rather than patched repeatedly.
Housekeeping between stays
Every property receives a full clean and linen change between guests, to hotel-standard turnaround times. For the general cleaning and maintenance standards guests expect, see our Airbnb cleaning and maintenance guide.
What this protects
Consistent maintenance and inspection work protects the two things that drive repeat bookings and higher nightly rates: guest reviews and Superhost status. It also protects the property itself from the wear that comes with frequent guest turnover.
Conclusion
Regular maintenance and inspections keep a property earning at its best, without the owner having to manage any of it directly. To find out what your property could earn under full management, Submit Property and get started today.
