Host guide

Barcelona Airbnb registration under HUT rules

Updated: September 2026

Airbnb hosts in Barcelona need a valid HUT, municipal compliance, and Mossos guest reporting. This guide covers operational readiness only.

Airbnb registration field

Enter your HUT in the registration or license field Airbnb shows for Spain. Use the same HUT on Booking and other channels. If Airbnb still mentions NRUA in help articles, rely on your Catalan HUT after STS 620/2026.

Before you list

Prepare responsible declaration, urban planning, and energy certificate if required. Track dossier prepared date in Host Registry before applying for HUT.

Listing display checklist

After HUT is active, confirm the number appears in the listing UI and in guest communications where required. Toggle displayed on listings in Host Registry.

Host Registry workflow

Use the Barcelona playbook, save HUT, mark channels, export guest data for Mossos manual entry, and keep SES credentials disabled for Catalonia properties.
