THINKING of travelling, but not sure where to stay? Airbnb’s recently redesigned Categories has 56 new categories that organises homes by style, location, or proximity to a travel activity, making it easier than ever to search through and explore millions of unique homes. 

Here are the seven top most wishlisted unique Airbnb stays in Malaysia, a taste of what’s out there. 

Wacky Weekend Getaway

This converted bus parked right by the Universiti Malaya campus is featured in Airbnb’s OMG! Category, which features the most amazing and jaw-dropping homes on the platform. For those interested in campers, but not necessarily driving one.

Tiny Home, Big Holiday 

There is something about tiny homes that excites the childhood imagination, so unsurprisingly they are some of Airbnb’s top options, such as an award-winning treehouse overlooking a gorgeous valley or staying in an aesthetic glasshouse in a lush forest.

Camping in Style

For those interested in escaping the business of city life, the camp category has plenty of options in terms of forest cabins and tents. A global Airbnb favorite is this Seredah forest fantasy, for adventurers seeking a reprieve.
