About RumaStay

Our Story

RumaStay was born from a simple idea: to connect travelers with authentic local experiences while helping Malaysian homeowners earn extra income from their properties.

Founded in 2024, we started with a vision to create a platform that celebrates Malaysia's diverse culture, beautiful landscapes, and warm hospitality. Our mission is to make travel more personal, meaningful, and accessible for everyone.
