About the data
AirDNA tracks the daily performance of more than 10 million short-term rental listings on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com across 120,000+ markets worldwide. The 36 market pagesfor Malaysia on this site are a free, monthly-refreshed slice of that dataset: for every market, the trailing-twelve-month active listing count, annual revenue per listing, occupancy rate, average daily rate (ADR), RevPAR and AirDNA's Market Score, plus supply mix and the largest property managers.
Listing, calendar and booking activity is collected directly from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com and supplemented by 1M+ partner properties connected through property management systems, channel managers and direct host integrations. The same home listed on several channels is counted once.

How often AirDNA data is updated →AirDNA's Market Score grades each market from 40 to 100 on short-term rental potential, benchmarked against other short-term rental markets in the same country with at least 15 active listings. It combines five subscores, each computed from observed market data:

AirDNA publishes a free data page for 36 markets across 9 regions in Malaysia. A market is typically a city, town or resort area; in larger metros the AirDNA app breaks markets down further into submarkets and neighborhoods. Search for a region or market above, or browse the region directory on this page.
By active listings, the largest short-term rental markets in Malaysia AirDNA tracks are Johor Bahru, Johor (7,715 listings), George Town, Pulau Pinang (4,308 listings), and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah (3,686 listings). The 12 largest markets are listed on this page with their occupancy rate, average daily rate and annual revenue per listing.
Among the 12 largest markets in Malaysia, Subang Jaya, Selangor runs the highest occupancy at 54%, followed by George Town, Pulau Pinang (52%) and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah (47%). Smaller resort and urban markets often run higher than the biggest cities: every region page on this site names its highest-occupancy market, and every market page reports its own trailing-twelve-month occupancy rate.
Search for the city or market above. Its market page reports the trailing-twelve-month occupancy rate alongside active listings, average daily rate, RevPAR and annual revenue, with a month-by-month seasonality view. For occupancy by ZIP code, submarket or neighborhood, the AirDNA app breaks each market down further.
It depends on the market. Across the 12 largest markets in Malaysia, trailing-twelve-month occupancy currently ranges from 32% in Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu to 54% in Subang Jaya, Selangor. A "good" rate is one at or above the market's own average at a competitive daily rate, so compare a listing to its market page rather than to a national figure, and look at RevPAR (occupancy × ADR), which captures both sides of the trade-off.
AirDNA collects listing, calendar and booking activity directly from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, supplemented by more than 1 million partner properties connected through property management systems, channel managers and direct host integrations.
