Hala turned my second flat into income that funds my masters degree.
List the home you already own. Hala does the channel sync, the chat routing, and the payouts. Your job is the welcome.
Every confirmed booking includes Host Protection — coverage for guest-caused damage and incidental theft, up to the policy cap.
Register, verify the paperwork the Ministry already requires, set your nightly rate. Most hosts go from sign-up to first booking in under a week.
Pick a property type and a city. We'll estimate your monthly take-home, after our under-5% platform fee, based on observed nightly rates in the catalogue.
Photos, amenities, capacity, house rules — the things a guest needs to decide.
Nightly rate, minimum stay, cancellation policy, instant-book on/off. Change anytime.
Hala publishes to direct browsers and pushes your iCal to Airbnb, Booking and VRBO.
Confirm cleaning, check-in instructions, keys. Hala notifies you the moment a booking confirms.
Guest messages from WhatsApp, Telegram, web chat, email — all in one thread per guest.
Weekly batched payouts to your mada-supported IBAN. ZATCA-compliant invoice issued automatically.
Your job is the welcome. Ours is everything else.
Every confirmed booking on Hala includes the Host Protection programme — coverage for guest-caused damage and incidental theft inside the unit during the stay. Pay nothing extra; it's bundled with the platform fee.
Read the full policyDamage caused by the guest to the unit, its furniture, or its fittings — bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living spaces.
Theft of items inside the unit, committed by the guest or someone they invited during the stay.
Compensation cap per claim. Up to 6 claims per host per calendar year.
File within 48 hours of the guest's checkout. Photos / video / receipts required.
Hala isn't a government substitute. We're the gatekeeper that makes sure every host on the platform actually holds the licences the Saudi regulator already requires — and that every listing is operating inside the law.
Saudi National ID, Iqama, or passport. Validated against the issuing authority's format rules.
Private Hospitality Facility licence (individuals) or Accommodation Management licence (operators with 8+ units). 8-digit number starting with 50.
Required for business hosts. 10-digit MoC Unified Number starting with 7. Validated against expiry.
Proof of right to operate — either a MoJ title deed (صك) or a REGA Ejar contract permitting sublet.
Required once turnover crosses the ZATCA threshold. We attach your VAT number to every invoice we issue on your behalf.
Saudi IBAN at a mada-network bank. Validated against the IBAN check-digit standard and bank code list.
What this means: We don't issue licences. We don't transmit data to the Ministry on your behalf. We don't act as your tax agent. We verify that what you give us matches what the regulator requires — and we refuse to let a listing go live if it doesn't. Future integrations with Absher, Nafath, MoT eServices, and ZATCA Fatoora are on the roadmap to make this verification real-time, but the stance won't change: you are the licensee, we are the gatekeeper.
A short-term-rental booking platform built in Saudi Arabia, for the Saudi (and broader Gulf) market. We sit between guests and hosts: guests discover and book stays, hosts manage listings and accept payments.
Anyone with a valid MoT licence and a right-to-operate document (title deed or sublet-permitting Ejar contract). Both Saudi nationals and resident foreigners. Business hosts also need a current Commercial Registration.
A property that's ready, furnished, in good condition. Real photos that reflect the space. A valid MoT licence. A mada-supported Saudi IBAN. That's the minimum.
Both, as long as the property is licensed for short-stay use. Mixed-use buildings may need a No Objection Letter from the building owner — we'll ask if needed.
Yes — if your rental agreement explicitly permits subletting (REGA Ejar long-form supports this). Upload the contract during KYC and we verify the clause.
Under 5% of each confirmed booking. No listing fee, no monthly minimum, no exit penalty. Cancelled bookings are refunded in full, including our fee.
Apartments, studios, villas, chalets, istrahas, farms, and camps. The KYC checklist adapts to the type — a farm needs proof of agricultural-licence permission for hospitality use, a camp needs a tourism camping permit.
Guests pay by card or mada at booking. Hala holds the funds until the guest checks in. Confirmed-and-completed bookings from the prior week are batched on Monday and clear to your IBAN within one business day. Long stays can be paid in instalments.
If your documents are in order, most hosts are verified within 24 hours. Anything that needs clarification bounces back to you with a specific reason — we don't sit on applications.
You set the cancellation policy per listing (flexible / moderate / strict / non-refundable). When a guest cancels, the policy is enforced automatically — we issue any refund owed via the original payment method and reverse the platform fee.
Sign-up is free. KYC takes a day. The first booking pays for itself in fees you didn't pay an OTA.
