Short-term rental management in India

We are Hexuvium, a short-term rental management company founded in Brussels in 2015. We manage homes on Airbnb, Booking.com and similar platforms on behalf of their owners, and we are now bringing that experience to India. Here is, plainly, where it makes sense and how we work.
Where it pays, and where it is harder
Not every Indian city behaves the same way. Market data from AirROI for 2026 shows that listings in Goa's leisure localities, such as Assagao, earn several times more per listing over a year than listings in Bengaluru or Hyderabad. The reason is simple: Goa sells holidays, with high nightly rates in season, whereas large tech cities sell practical stays to people travelling for work, at more modest prices.
- The metros (Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai): steady weekday demand from professionals, relocations and medical visits; lower rates, longer stays.
- Hill stations and heritage towns (Himachal, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Rajasthan): pronounced seasons, guests who pay for character and views, and access issues during the monsoon.
None of this guarantees a result for a particular property. Location, condition, photographs, pricing and reviews make the difference, and a well-run flat in a city can outperform a neglected villa by the sea.
How we work with owners
- creating and optimising your listings on the platforms;
- pricing that follows seasons, events and demand;
- coordination of cleaning, linen and small maintenance;
- regular reporting on bookings, revenue and issues.
