Overview

• Spain’s housing ministry has formally notified platforms including Airbnb, Booking and Rentalia to take down adverts tied to revoked registration codes.
• Airbnb said fewer than 10% of the flagged adverts are on its site and it will delist them once requests are received.
• The registry processed 336,497 applications in 2025, of which 264,998 were for tourist use and 53,786 of those (20.3%) were revoked.
• Andalucía accounts for 16,740 revocations, followed by Canarias (8,698), Catalunya (7,729) and Comunitat Valenciana (7,499), with Sevilla (2,289), Marbella (1,802) and Barcelona (1,564) leading by city.
• Revocations apply to listings that failed legal requirements or had uncorrected data since registration became mandatory on July 1, while regional authorities in Andalucía and Madrid contest the move and experts caution many homes may not shift to long‑term leases.
