Does Estadia file the reserva de hospedaje as well as the parte de viajeros?
Yes. Royal Decree 933/2021 asks for two separate filings: the reserva de hospedaje, which covers the booking itself and is due within 24 hours of the booking being confirmed, and the parte de viajeros, the per-guest report due within 24 hours of check-in. Estadia handles both. It shows you each one separately when it is due, with its own deadline: the reserva de hospedaje as soon as the booking comes in, the parte de viajeros once the guests have arrived. You click Send and Estadia sends it in your own name. You never have to open the SES.Hospedajes portal.
How does Estadia submit to SES.Hospedajes?
Through the official SES.Hospedajes connection for software (what the Ministry calls the "servicio web"), run by the State Secretariat for Security ("Secretaría de Estado de Seguridad"), using your agency's own SES registration. Every filing is saved with SES's reply and the date and time, so you have a complete history of what was sent.
Which booking sources do you read from?
Any platform that gives you a calendar link (iCal): Airbnb, Booking.com, and many regional agencies. Estadia pulls every new booking from those calendars, so the only reservations you ever type in by hand are direct bookings that don't come through a booking platform.
What happens if a guest hasn't shared their ID yet?
Estadia sends the online check-in form to the lead guest in English, Spanish, French or German, on your own domain. As the 24-hour deadline gets closer, Estadia highlights any booking still missing details. Open it and you see exactly what needs attention.
What happens when a booking is cancelled?
When a booking falls through after you've filed it, Estadia sends the official cancellation to SES (the anulación) in your own name, without you leaving Estadia. The booking and the guests are cancelled from the same screen, each with a single click, and the cancellation reference is saved next to the original filing. No logging into the SES portal at 23:00.
Do I still need to keep a registration log ("libro registro")?
Every filing (the booking and the guests) is saved with its SES.Hospedajes reference code, the date and time, and a downloadable copy. In practice this removes the need for a separate paper registration log: the information you'd otherwise write there is already captured and exportable from Estadia.
Is my guest data kept separate from other customers'?
Yes. Your guest data is strictly isolated from every other customer's, and the sensitive fields (DNI, passport, address) are stored encrypted. Only your account can unlock them, and everything is hosted in the EU.
How does setup work?
We set up your first property in a 30-minute call, connect your booking calendars, and send your first filing to SES together, live. You use it for two weeks before any invoice. If it's not a fit, we cancel you for free and your data stays yours.
Can I add more languages to the check-in form?
Yes, on request. The guest form comes in English, Spanish, French and German as standard. If you regularly host guests in another language, tell us when we get you started and we'll add it.
Can I start with SES only and add the rest later?
Yes. Most people start with SES, because that is what takes the fine off your mind. When you want cleaning, team or marketing, you add them to any plan. We talk about the price of each on the 30-minute call.
Do my cleaners need an account?
No. They do not create an account or install anything. You note who is cleaning each changeover from your computer and tell them the way you always do, by WhatsApp or a call. Estadia does not message them.
Does Estadia send the marketing emails?
No. Estadia sends no emails at all. The guest says at check-in whether they want your offers, we keep what they agreed to, and you take the list. You write to them yourself, with whatever email tool you already use.
