Accommodation Scams in Valletta

Fake Holiday Apartment Listings

Fraudulent short-term rental listings for Valletta and Sliema advertise apartments at competitive prices on third-party sites and Facebook groups, collect deposits or full payment, and then prove to be non-existent properties or already-booked by the real owner. Malta's popularity as a digital nomad and short-stay destination has made it a target for these advance-fee accommodation frauds.
