How do I become a host in Barcelona?

1. Get your HUTB licence. Barcelona requires a tourist-use licence (Habitatge d'Ús Turístic) registered with the Generalitat de Catalunya. Your number must appear on every listing.

2. Register with the tourism board. List your property in the official register. It builds trust with guests and it's the law. We give every host step-by-step instructions.

3. Set up your channels and your own website. Airbnb and Booking.com for reach; your own direct-booking site for margin, with 0% commission on direct bookings.

4. Automate the day-to-day. One calendar, automated guest messages, digital check-in that handles Spain's traveller-registration requirements.
