Shortlet

A shortlet is a flat rented out for days or weeks rather than months, the general term behind an Airbnb listing, a Booking.com listing, or any other platform doing the same thing under its own brand.

Why the word matters beyond one platform

Malta's short-let rules, and most cleaning services, are built around the shortlet as a category rather than around any single booking platform. A flat listed on two or three platforms at once is still one shortlet with one calendar to manage, which is exactly what a calendarsync is built to handle regardless of where the booking came from.

Running more than one

Once a host has two or three shortlets, the operational problem stops being any single clean and becomes making sure none of them collide on the calendar. A busy day on one flat is manageable on its own; the same day arriving on two flats at once without a system in place is where things start to slip.

Conclusion

A shortlet is the general category behind every platform-specific listing, and the cleaning problem it creates is the same regardless of brand. See how managing several properties works with one connected calendar.
