According to the current regulations of the Ministry of the Interior for the registration of travelers in tourist accommodations (Royal Decree 933/2021), it is mandatory that each check-in be associated with a contract containing 3 basic pieces of information.

Below, we explain in detail what each field means so you can complete it correctly:

🔹 Reference

This field is used to uniquely identify your booking. It can be completed in different ways:

  • The accommodation may have provided you with a specific reference or booking locator number.

  • Otherwise, you may enter the ID card or passport number of the main guest.

🔹 Contract or Booking Date

Here you should indicate either the date the booking was made or the check-in date at the accommodation.

🔹 Payment Type

This field refers to the payment method used for your stay. In the dropdown menu, you can select from several options:

  • Cash

  • Credit card

  • Payment platform (for bookings made through Airbnb, Booking, etc.)

  • Bank transfer

  • Other
