About SettlyWay
Finding a room in KL shouldn't mean trusting "5 minutes to LRT" and finding out it's a 25-minute walk. SettlyWay shows you where a place really is, how long your trip to work or campus takes at rush hour, and what it really costs each month, before you message anyone.
"Hi, I'm Baihaki. I was born in Malaysia and I'm a software engineer. I built SettlyWay because renting here was frustrating: scrolling Facebook Marketplace, Mudah and group after group, messaging landlords who never replied, and travelling to rooms that were nowhere near the LRT the ad promised. I wanted one place that tells you the truth before you go."
BaihakiWhy we built it
Most rental listings in Malaysia are posts in Facebook groups or ads with a rough area name. You can't tell how far the room is from your office, whether there's a train nearby, or how much you'll spend on petrol and Grab. So you message ten landlords, travel to five viewings, and still guess. SettlyWay puts every place on a map with your commute worked out, so the shortlist is right before you go.
How we keep it honest
- Listings are free for landlords, and renters never pay. We earn only when a landlord chooses to boost a listing or take a plan, never a cut of your rent.
- Agents are checked against the official LPPEH register before they get a "Verified agent" badge.
- Old listings pause themselves after 30 days unless the landlord confirms the place is still available.
- Renters rate landlords after contacting them: did the landlord reply, was the place as described. Places that don't match get checked.
- Copied photos are flagged automatically, and every report is reviewed by a person.
- Your privacy is protected: a landlord's number only goes to logged-in renters, and an exact address only after you contact them.
