Tourist accommodation in Oman — the Ministry licence, and its number on every listing

In Oman, no one may run tourist accommodation without a licence from the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, and the Ministry has warned hosts who advertise unlicensed villas and flats online. A new Executive Regulation of the Tourism Law took effect on 17 April 2026, with a 60-day deadline for the Ministry to decide on applications. Licensed places must show their licence number at the property and on their websites and social media listings. Mekavo Stay keeps your licence number on the place, so your booking page shows it.

Mekavo is software, not a regulator. Licences come from the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism under the Tourism Law and its 2026 Executive Regulation. Check with the Ministry whether your villa or flat can be licensed before you advertise it.

Why is it free?

💼

Paid for by our other software

Mekavo earns from the tools other businesses pay for. Stay is free for hosts — every feature, every place, your whole team. If that ever changes, we will tell you well ahead of time.

💷

Never a cut of your booking

Guests pay you directly — cash, bank transfer or the payment apps people use where you are. Mekavo takes nothing.

🤝

Your guests stay yours

Your page, your guests' phone numbers, your reviews on your own Google listing. Nothing is hidden behind a platform.

How it works

1

Add your place

Photos, rooms, price a night, house times. Choose whether guests see the street, or only the area until you accept them.

2

Link your calendars

Paste your Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo calendar link once. A night booked anywhere is closed everywhere.

3

Share your page

Switch your booking page on and send the link. Guests ask to book in their own language — no account needed.

4

Answer in a tap

Accept on your phone and send your answer on WhatsApp — already written in the guest's language — then the arrival info.

☀️ Your day on one screen

Open Today and see who arrives, who leaves, who is staying and which place to clean — across every place you have.

📅 Bookings without double bookings

Keep the sites you already use. Mekavo reads their calendars and shares yours, so every night is in one place.

🗝️ Guests who feel looked after

Everything a guest needs, in their language, on the WhatsApp or Telegram they already use.

💳 Your money, your rules

Write down what was agreed and what was paid, and let guests pay online straight to you.

✅ Proof your place is real

Guests worry a place is not what the photos show. Each proof carries its date; the on-the-spot check and the filming fade after a year unless you renew them.

Questions hosts ask

Is Mekavo Stay really free?

Yes. Every feature, every place and as many people on your team as you need, with no commission on your bookings. Mekavo is paid for by its other software. If that ever changes, we will tell you well ahead of time.

Do I have to leave Airbnb or Booking.com?

No. Link their calendars and a night booked there is closed on your page, and the other way round. Many hosts keep them and take direct bookings with no commission on the side.

Who do my guests pay — me or Mekavo?

You. In cash, by bank transfer, or online through your own payment account where one works in your country. Mekavo never holds your guests' money.

Can my cleaner use it without seeing my guests' details?

Yes. Invite them as a cleaner: they see the places and the times to clean, and their checklist — never guests' phone numbers, bookings or money.

Will my home address be public?

Only if you choose. By default guests see the town and area; the full address is sent to a guest once you accept them.

Does Mekavo register my guests with the authorities or pay my taxes?

No. Where your country requires a guest report or a registration number, Stay reminds you and keeps the record, but you file it yourself, on the official service.

Do I need a licence to let my villa to tourists?

Yes. Tourist accommodation needs a Ministry of Heritage and Tourism licence, and the Ministry has warned unlicensed hosts who advertise online.

Where must my licence number appear?

At the property and on your websites and social media listings. Add it to the place in Mekavo and your booking page shows it.

How long does the Ministry take?

Under the 2026 Executive Regulation, the Ministry has 60 days to decide on a licence application.
