Our standards

Why Expat Stays is different from generic rental platforms.

We don't list. We manage.

The fundamental difference is this: we don't list other people's properties. Every property on Expat Stays is owned or directly managed by us. This means we control quality from start to finish.

No surprise conditions. No photos that don't match reality. No hosts who overpromise and underdeliver. Just consistent, reliable accommodation.

Pre-listing inspection

Every property is personally inspected before we take it on. We check utilities, cleanliness standards, neighborhood safety, and overall condition. If it doesn't meet our standards, we don't list it.

Ongoing Quality Checks

We maintain properties between guests. Regular cleaning, repairs, and upgrades are our responsibility. We don't wait for complaints. We prevent them.

Consistent Standards

All our properties follow the same quality baseline. Reliable Wi-Fi, clean linens, working appliances, and well-maintained facilities. This isn't negotiable.

Direct Support

Issues happen. When they do, you reach us directly. No middlemen, no outsourced support teams. Real people who know the property and can solve problems immediately.

What we check

Location & Accessibility

Proximity to main roads, markets, and essential services. Safe neighborhood with reliable transport access.

Utilities & Infrastructure

Stable electricity supply, backup generators, water pressure, gas availability, and high-speed internet.

Cleanliness & Maintenance

Professional cleaning between stays, well-maintained appliances, fresh linens, and functional furniture.

Safety & Security

Secure building entry, working locks, fire safety measures, and neighborhood security presence.

Amenities & Comfort

Air conditioning, heating, kitchen equipment, comfortable bedding, and appropriate furnishings.

Management Responsibility

When something goes wrong at a property, it's our problem to fix. We don't outsource blame or responsibility. This accountability is why we only manage properties we can personally oversee.

We'd rather have fewer properties that meet our standards than many that don't. Quality over scale. Always.

Why this matters

Most overseas Pakistanis visiting the country face a choice: stay with family (and lose privacy), book a hotel (expensive and impersonal), or risk an Airbnb (inconsistent quality).

Expat Stays exists to be the fourth option. Home-like comfort, hotel-like reliability, and pricing that makes sense for extended stays. We're not competing on novelty or the cheapest price. We're competing on trust.
