What are short-term rentals and how are they defined
The Greek Ministry of Finance in its recent law amendment defines a property rental as short-term if the duration of the lease is shorter than 60 days. Up until this new (December 2023) definition, the law was defining short-term rentals as those that have a duration under one year.
For most property owners, these rentals are defined as leashing property through digital platforms that are known as the “sharing economy”.
The most famous platform is Airbnb.
It started from the idea of sharing the living room couch with travelers and transformed into a pioneering idea that changed the travel and hospitality landscape.
Already the phrase “I am turning my home into Airbnb” is synonymous to short-term rentals.
After a few years, travel platforms, such as OTAs (Online Travel Agents) like Booking.com, VRBO (used to be called HomeAway) that was acquired by Expedia but also Expedia themselves launched vacation rental listings on their platforms.
Booking.com and Expedia were hotel based systems and to a great extent they still are. The support they provide to partners is very high level compared to Airbnb host support services.
Extranets or the systems that properties can use to create or manage their profiles or their properties on Booking and Expedia have functionality that is clearly hotel-oriented.
These are the 4 most popular short-term rental platforms worldwide. There are thousands of others such as smaller or more specialized like Agoda andTripAdvisor.
Why they are so popular?
A large portion of travelers look for a different type of property for exploring a travel destination. They want a different hospitality experience than a hotel provides.
Hotels are very popular accommodations and provide multiple comforts and conveniences compared to a city apartment. The main reason has to do with experiencing the destination like the permanent residents.
Even though hotels offer substantial benefits to travelers, such as breakfast, buffet dinner, etc. often at lower prices per night, these travelers prefer an apartment and personal interaction with the host.
Apart from the above, a family with very young children will chose a property with a self-sustained kitchen, without the need to ask hotel staff to warm some milk for them during the night.
