Indonesia's local OTA for daily, monthly & yearly rentals.
Livuma is built specifically for the Indonesian rental market — long-term leases, IDR payments, verified guests, and legally binding contracts. Lower fees than international OTAs, and full iCal calendar sync with Airbnb, Booking.com, and more.
Three steps to start hosting
Onboard in a single sitting. No paperwork, no in-person meetings.
Register your account
Sign up with email, Google, or Apple. Add your name, phone (used for WhatsApp notifications), and create a password.
Activate as a host
Choose individual or company, add your tax details (NPWP), bank account, and verify your identity. Required only once.
Create your listings
Upload photos, describe the property, set daily/monthly/yearly prices, and define your minimum stay. You're live.
Sync your calendar with Airbnb, Booking.com & more
Already listing on Airbnb, Booking.com or Agoda? Connect your calendars both ways — a booking on one platform blocks the dates on the others, so you never get double-booked.
Paste your Airbnb, Booking.com or Agoda calendar (iCal) link into your Livuma listing — bookings there block your dates here
Copy your Livuma iCal link from the listing's calendar settings into those platforms — Livuma bookings block your dates there
Done — your calendars refresh automatically, every few hours
Works with any OTA that supports iCal, including:
Three rate types. One listing.
Set any combination of daily, monthly, or yearly rates — and a minimum stay that protects your calendar.
Daily
- Single upfront payment
- Ideal for vacation guests
- Set a minimum night count
Monthly
- Deposit + recurring rent
- Open-ended after minimum stay
- Auto-invoiced each month
Yearly
- Deposit + balance, paid upfront
- Discounted long-term rate
- Maximum income stability
Lower fees. Better fit for Indonesia.
International OTAs are built for short-term holiday stays. Livuma is designed from the ground up for how Indonesian properties actually work — long-term leases, local payments, and verified guests.

From booking to payout, step by step
Every booking follows the same steps, and you're notified by email and WhatsApp at each one. You can chat with the guest inside the booking at any time.
Guest books and pays Guest
The guest picks dates and secures the booking up front — card reservation or bank transfer — before you even see it. With a viewing, a small deposit secures it. Every booking that reaches you is backed by money.
You approve within 24 hours Host
Approve or decline. If you don't answer in time, the booking expires and the guest automatically gets everything back — no penalty, no awkward conversation.
Optional viewing Optional
For monthly and yearly stays, the guest can ask to see the place first — only a deposit is secured. After you approve, you arrange the viewing in the booking chat; the booking is confirmed when the guest pays the rest.
Guest verifies their ID Guest
The guest verifies a government ID (KTP or passport) with a face check. This is required before the rental agreement is issued — you only host verified people.
Rental agreement Livuma
A binding rental agreement is generated from your listing terms and the guest's details. Both of you receive a signed copy.
Guest checks in Guest
On move-in day the guest confirms check-in in the app. If they forget, Livuma reminds them and checks them in automatically a day later.
Payout to your bank Host
24 hours after check-in, your payout is sent to your bank account automatically, minus the platform fee. For monthly stays, every rent payment is paid out the same way.
You get paid after check-in.
No hidden charges. A single, transparent platform fee is deducted from each payout — nothing more. The guest pays the price you advertise.
Example — monthly rental at IDR 5,000,000:

Frequently asked questions
Is Livuma only for Bali properties?
No. Livuma is available for properties across all of Indonesia. We started in Bali but support listings in Jakarta, Lombok, Yogyakarta, and any other Indonesian region.
How is Livuma different from Airbnb or Booking.com?
Livuma is built specifically for the Indonesian market. We support monthly and yearly rentals natively, generate Indonesian-law rental contracts automatically, and process all payments in IDR without currency conversion. Our platform fee is also significantly lower than most international OTAs.
Does Livuma support calendar synchronization with other OTAs?
Yes. Livuma uses standard iCal links. Export your listing's iCal URL from your listing settings and paste it into Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda, Traveloka, or any other platform that supports iCal import. Bookings made on those platforms automatically block your Livuma availability.
What commission does Livuma charge hosts?
Livuma charges a single platform fee, deducted from each host payout. The guest always pays the exact price you set — no fees are added on top for guests. See the payout example on this page for a concrete illustration.
Can hotels and guesthouses use Livuma?
Yes. Livuma supports individual property owners, real estate companies, and hospitality businesses managing multiple units. You can create and manage multiple listings from a single host account, each with independent pricing and availability settings.
Are guests required to verify their identity?
Yes. Every guest completes identity verification — a government ID (KTP or passport) plus a face match — before the rental agreement is issued. You never host an anonymous guest on Livuma.
