LandWise Stay · for villa owners
Show the whole villa.
Not just the best angles.
We come to the property, capture all of it — the rooms, the layout, the grounds — and build something a guest can walk through before they book. You keep the booking channels you already use.
We are onboarding a small number of villas across Koh Phangan.
A guest books on what they can see.
A normal listing shows a set of chosen photographs and a list of facts. Everything between those photographs, the guest imagines — and what they imagine is where the questions and the disappointments come from.
What a listing usually shows
- A set of selected photographs
- Bedroom and bathroom counts
- An amenity list
- A pin on a map
What LandWise adds to it
- The property and its grounds, from outside
- Every room, in position, room to room
- A measured floor plan
- How the villa actually sits on its land
What your villa becomes
This is what we would build for you.
Shades of Blue, captured by LandWise. Press play and move through it the way a guest would — the grounds, every room, the floor plan, how it sits on its land.
Its rates and dates are placeholders until its owner confirms them, so read it as the presentation rather than as a listing. We do not manage this villa and make no claim about how it performs.
Shades of Blue, Srithanu.
A villa on Koh Phangan we captured ourselves. This is what the presentation looks like — the building, every room, the plan and the grounds. It is here as proof of the standard, nothing more: we do not manage it and we make no claim about how it performs.
What happens, in four steps.
We come and capture it
Photography, the exterior and grounds from the air, every room scanned in position, and a measured floor plan. Usually half a day on site, and you do not need to be there.
We build it
The villa becomes something a guest can move through from wherever they are — room to room, the layout, the grounds, how it sits on its land. We do that at our cost.
You see it first
You review the villa before anyone else does and tell us what to change — the name, the description, the rooms, the rates, the amenities. Nothing goes live until you are happy with it.
We publish it, and enquiries reach you
The villa appears on LandWise Stay and in our marketing. A guest explores it, then enquires — and your existing booking process carries on exactly as it does now.
Founding villas
We are opening with a small number of villas, and they are not paying to be here.
LandWise is new on the island and we would rather prove it than describe it. For the founding villas we cover the work.

- 10% — and only on bookings we bring you
You take the guest’s payment as you do now. You pay LandWise nothing unless we send you a booking, and nothing at all on bookings that come through your own channels. We agree the terms with you in writing before the villa goes live, and they are recorded for that villa.
Keep your existing booking process.
Airbnb, Booking.com, your own site, WhatsApp, a manager who handles it all — none of that changes. LandWise is another way for a guest to find the villa and understand it properly before they get in touch.
Already on Airbnb or Booking.com?
Both give you a private calendar link. Share yours and we read it, so a guest is never offered dates you have already sold.
We only ever read it. We do not change anything in your account and we never take a booking on your behalf. It is a periodic read rather than instant sync, so treat it as a guard against obvious clashes — you stay the one who confirms a booking.
What an owner actually gets.
Better-informed enquiries
A guest who has already walked the villa knows the layout, the rooms and the outdoor space before they message you. There is less to explain and less to correct.
Fewer surprises on arrival
The whole property is visible in advance — including the parts a photograph set usually leaves out. What a guest booked is what they walk into.
Presented as a place, not a gallery
Every villa on LandWise Stay is one we have physically been inside. The presentation is the property itself rather than a selection of angles.
A local team
LandWise is on Koh Phangan. We come to the villa ourselves, and the person who answers your message is the person who handles it.
We come to the villa.
Every villa on LandWise Stay is one we have physically captured. Nothing here is generated, nothing is assembled from photographs an owner sent us, and nothing is a guess about a place we have not stood in. If we have not been there, it does not become a LandWise Stay villa.
That is also the constraint on how fast we can grow, and why we are onboarding a small number of villas rather than listing everything on the island.
Tell us about the villa.
Four things are enough to start: your name, a way to reply, the villa’s name and roughly where it is. We will come back to you about the rest.
Based on Koh Phangan.
If it is easier to ask a question than fill in a form, message us. It is the same people either way.
Questions owners ask.
Does this replace Airbnb or Booking.com?
No. LandWise Stay is another way for guests to find and understand the villa. Keep every channel you use now — most owners will, and we have built for that rather than against it.
Do I keep control of my bookings?
Yes. You take the guest’s payment as you do now, and the booking is between you and the guest. We introduce them and step out of the money.
How does availability work?
Airbnb and Booking.com both give you a private calendar link. If you share yours, we read it so a guest is never offered dates you have already sold. We only read — we never change anything in your account, and we never take a booking on your behalf. It is a periodic read, not instant sync, so treat it as a guard against obvious clashes rather than a live feed.
What does LandWise charge?
For founding villas the capture, the build, the listing and the hosting are free. LandWise takes 10% of bookings we bring you, and nothing on bookings you get anywhere else. The rate is agreed with you in writing before the villa goes live and is recorded per villa.
How long does the capture take?
Usually half a day on site. The villa should be clean and guest-ready, with the interior, exterior and grounds accessible — the walkthrough shows what is there on the day.
Do I need to be at the villa?
No. Someone needs to let us in and the property needs to be ready, but you do not have to be there yourself.
Can I review the listing before it goes live?
Yes, and that step is not optional on our side. You see the finished villa first and correct anything about it — the details are yours. What you cannot change is the capture itself: it shows the property as it is, which is the whole reason a guest trusts it.
What happens when a guest enquires?
It reaches you or whoever handles bookings for the villa, with the dates and the guest’s details, and you carry on from there.
