Common Questions

Malta Short-Let FAQ

Do I need an MTA licence to list my property on Airbnb in Malta?

Yes. Since 2016, the Malta Tourism Authority requires all short-let properties to hold a Holiday Furnished Premises Licence. Operating without one carries fines from €2,500. Eleva manages the full application process for every property under our management.

How much does Airbnb management cost in Malta?

Eleva charges 30% of net OTA revenue (after platform fees). No setup fee, no hidden charges, no lock-in. This covers all guest management, cleaning coordination, MTA compliance, dynamic pricing, and monthly reporting.

How long does the MTA licence take to obtain?

Typically 4–8 weeks once all documentation is submitted. Eleva handles the full process — structural compliance check, fire safety documentation, furnishings audit, and submission to MTA, tracking progress throughout.

Can I still use my property for personal stays?

Absolutely. You can block off any dates you want for personal use through the owner portal. We'll adjust pricing and availability around your stays. Most owners block 4–6 weeks per year without significant impact on annual income.

Is Airbnb more profitable than long-term rental in Malta?

For most well-located Malta properties, yes — typically 30–70% more. A Sliema 2-bed earning €900–1,100/month on a long-term lease will typically net €1,600–2,100/month under Eleva management. The gap is widest in Valletta, Sliema, and St. Julian's.

What happens if a guest damages my property?

All bookings include Airbnb AirCover (up to $3M in damage protection) plus our property inspection protocol after each checkout. For items not covered by platforms, we carry a management liability policy. Our vetting process and security deposit requirements filter most risk.
