Spain: Guest Registration ("Hospederias")
If you host guests in Spain (especially short-term / tourist rentals), you may be required to register guest details with the police/authorities via a "Hospederias" system.
Exact requirements and portals can vary. Amanda helps you track whether this likely applies and what information you need.
What is "Hospederias" guest registration?
"Guest registration" is the process of collecting required guest identity details and reporting them to the relevant authority within required timeframes.
It's commonly associated with:
- Tourist rentals
- Hotels / hostels
- Short-stay accommodation providers
When does it apply?
It typically applies when:
- You provide paid accommodation to guests, and
- The property is located in Spain, and
- The accommodation type is covered by the applicable rules.
Amanda uses your property location, property use, and rental registration facts to determine whether to surface this obligation.
What information is typically required (high level)
Hosts may need to collect details such as:
- Guest full name
- Identity document type and number
- Nationality
- Date of birth
- Stay dates (arrival/departure)
- Number of guests
Amanda does not "register guests for you" (unless you integrate an external service). It helps you know what applies and what's missing.
What Amanda needs from you
To decide whether to show this obligation, Amanda typically needs:
Property & rental context
- Spain property confirmed (location + jurisdiction)
- Property use marked as short-term/tourist rental (if applicable)
- Any relevant rental registration / NRA facts
Your setup
- Whether you personally host or use a property manager / channel manager
- Whether you already have a hospederias account/registration (if applicable)
If key facts are missing, the obligation may show as needs info.
Where to enter details in Amanda
Go to the section:
- Identity → Spain → Hospederias (this is where the editing UI currently lives)
Even if the obligation is grouped under Rental, the required inputs are collected under Identity for convenience.
Practical checklist
- Confirm the property is marked as a short-term/tourist rental (if applicable)
- Add the rental registration number (if you have one)
- Record whether you already have hospederias access
- If you use a manager/channel manager, record who handles guest reporting
Next steps
If Amanda flags this as triggered:
- Complete any missing fields Amanda points to
- Verify the exact procedure for your jurisdiction/portal
- Consider a channel manager integration if you want automation
