Malta certainly punches above its weight as a vacation destination. This tiny island, with a population of around half a million, has consistently drawn tourists to this part of the Mediterranean. Owning a vacation rental here could be a smart move.
If you are in that fortunate position, your next step will be listing your rental. But which vacation rental platforms are the best for your marketing efforts? We've put together this list of the most popular options.
Airbnb
Airbnb is probably one of the most famous vacation booking platforms. On Airbnb, you can access millions of potential guests worldwide, but you'll also be advertising your property with many others in Msida.
One of AirBNB's plus points is that it offers flexible listings for all types of rentals, making it suitable for many people in the vacation industry.
VRBO
VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner) is part of the Expedia brand but has its own well-established online presence. It's a simple option for property owners who want to rent their home directly as a vacation property.
It's one of the top rental websites in Msida. It's also popular with tourists who need to find larger properties accommodating high guest numbers, so it could be appealing in Malta for larger groups on vacation.
Booking.Com
Booking.com is more famous as a hotel listing platform but surprisingly popular for private rentals.
What's helpful for landlords is getting your rental featured alongside prestigious hotels in the area, giving potential guests vacation ideas they may not have considered before.
The platform offers lots of traffic and simplifies the booking process.
TripAdvisor Rentals
As part of the massive TripAdvisor, the travel review brand is a growing feature for property listings.
This fits well with TripAdvisor because vacation rentals can combine existing reviews, guest availability, and bookings in one place, making property management more straightforward for landlords.
Plus, TripAdvisor is one of the most trusted brands in the travel industry and an excellent place to build a strong reputation for your vacation rental.
Expedia
Expedia is traditionally a hotel and flight platform, competing in a similar field to Booking.com. Nevertheless, like Booking.com, Expedia has expanded its offering to private rentals.
With this platform, you can offer guests the convenience of booking your property and their flights all in one place. That could make you more visible to a wider potential pool of guests who rely on this trusted and well-known brand.

You don't have to choose a big brand name to list your property. Some landlords prefer to list it with a private property management company, and there are several advantages.
First, it's often combined with other marketing support, like advertising. Second, you aren't competing with hundreds or thousands of other properties.
