Who it’s for
This service is ideal for owners who need to furnish a property or are looking for specific design elements. It's a niche offering focused on furnishing, not on managing bookings or operations.
Our take
Minoan's primary appeal is its free furnishing service, which claims significant savings through trade discounts and showroom commissions. It doesn't require a property management system, making it accessible. The service is specifically for procurement and furnishing, not for operational aspects of short-term rentals.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Minoan lists Free (trade discounts + Showroom commission), while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.

Questions to put to Minoan
- “Is Free (trade discounts + Showroom commission) per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
