Renting out your vacation home in the Canary Islands can be one of the best investments you make—but only if done right. Many property owners jump into short-term rentals excited by the idea of passive income and high demand from tourists, but they quickly find themselves overwhelmed, misinformed or even facing serious legal issues.

At Pambnb, we’ve helped countless owners recover from bad setups, regulatory fines, and guest complaints. So today, we’re sharing the most common mistakes we see—and exactly how to avoid them.

❌ Mistake #1: Renting Without a Tourist License

This is by far the most serious and the most common mistake. Many owners start renting out their properties on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com without realizing that, in the Canary Islands, a tourist license is legally required. Without it, you risk fines that can reach up to €125,000.

They assume listing on Airbnb makes them "legal."

They underestimate the consequences of non-compliance.

Work with a management agency like Pambnb that will handle the entire licensing process for you—from the Prior Consultation with the Town Hall to submitting the Responsible Declaration.

Make sure your property meets the equipment requirements outlined in Decree 113/2015.

understand the risks of renting your property without a license.

❌ Mistake #2: Not Understanding IGIC and Tax Responsibilities

Spain has a complex tax system—and the Canary Islands have their own version of VAT: IGIC (7%). In addition, rental income is subject to IRPF (Personal Income Tax) and registration under IAE 685.

If you're a non-resident, your income may be taxed at 19% or 24%, depending on your country of residence.

You may be eligible for REPEP (a simplified tax regime for small landlords), but only if your earnings are under €30,000.

Consult a local tax expert or let Pambnb manage your legal and tax compliance. We will help you right now – contact us 

Track all income and deductible expenses correctly.

Stay informed about declaration deadlines.

❌ Mistake #3: Poor Property Preparation

Think that simply furnishing your apartment and uploading a few photos is enough? Think again. In a competitive market like Tenerife, guests expect high standards.

A poorly prepared property can result in negative reviews, reduced bookings, and ultimately lost revenue. First impressions matter—and guests often decide whether to book based on your photos and listing quality alone. Once they arrive, the experience must meet or exceed expectations.

Use a professional photographer (included in Pambnb’s full management service)

Follow the official checklist of required items in Decree 113/2015

Go beyond the basics to create a memorable guest experience

Managing a rental sounds easy… until it isn’t.

What starts as a simple side project can quickly spiral into a full-time job. Between coordinating last-minute cleanings, responding to guest messages at all hours, handling double bookings or cancellations, adjusting pricing to stay competitive, dealing with maintenance emergencies, and keeping up with legal filings, the pressure can become overwhelming.

Every task requires attention to detail, fast reaction times, and a deep understanding of guest expectations and market trends. And when you're managing from a distance or juggling another job, the stress can double.

Delegate the day-to-day to a professional management agency like Pambnb

Benefit from our tech tools, dynamic pricing, and local support

Many owners burn out trying to do it all alone, often realizing too late that they’ve traded financial freedom for constant anxiety.

❌ Mistake #5: Failing to Optimize Listings

Listing your property is just the beginning. The difference between a booked calendar and an empty one often lies in the details of your listing.

Let Pambnb handle your listing optimization: titles, photos, pricing, and guest communication

Use tools like dynamic pricing and automated responses

Owning a vacation rental in the Canary Islands is a great opportunity — but only when managed strategically. These common mistakes are easy to fall into, but with the right partner, they’re also easy to avoid.

Alquilar tu vivienda vacacional en las Islas Canarias puede ser una de las mejores inversiones que hagas — pero solo si lo haces bien. Muchos propietarios se lanzan al alquiler a corto plazo entusiasmados por la idea de generar ingresos pasivos y aprovechar la alta demanda de turistas, pero rápidamente se sienten desbordados, mal informados o incluso enfrentan problemas legales serios.

En Pambnb, hemos ayudado a numerosos propietarios a recuperarse de malas gestiones, sanciones administrativas y quejas de huéspedes. Así que hoy, compartimos los errores más comunes que vemos — y exactamente cómo evitarlos.

❌ Error #1: Alquilar sin licencia turística

Este es, con diferencia, el error más grave y también el más común. Muchos propietarios empiezan a alquilar sus viviendas en plataformas como Airbnb y Booking.com sin saber que, en las Islas Canarias, es obligatorio contar con una licencia turística. Sin ella, te expones a multas que pueden llegar hasta los 125.000 €.

Los propietarios desconocen la normativa local.

Suponen que con anunciarse en Airbnb ya están “legalizados”.

Subestiman las consecuencias del incumplimiento.

Trabaja con una agencia de gestión como Pambnb, que se encargará de todo el proceso para obtener tu licencia: desde la Consulta Previa en el Ayuntamiento hasta la presentación de la Declaración Responsable.

Asegúrate de que tu vivienda cumpla con los requisitos de equipamiento establecidos en el Decreto 113/2015.

¿Quieres conocer todos los riesgos? Te los explicamos en 

este artículo sobre los riesgos de alquilar sin licencia

❌ Error #2: No entender el IGIC y tus obligaciones fiscales

España tiene un sistema fiscal complejo — y las Islas Canarias cuentan con su propia versión del IVA: el IGIC (7%). Además, los ingresos por alquiler vacacional están sujetos al IRPF (Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Físicas) y deben registrarse bajo el epígrafe IAE 685.

Si no eres residente, tus ingresos pueden tributar al 19% o 24%, según tu país de residencia.

Puedes acogerte al REPEP (un régimen fiscal simplificado para pequeños arrendadores), pero solo si tus ingresos son inferiores a 125.000 €.

Consulta con un experto fiscal local o deja que Pambnb gestione tu cumplimiento legal y fiscal. Podemos ayudarte desde ya —

Registra correctamente todos los ingresos y gastos deducibles.

Mantente informado sobre los plazos de presentación.

❌ Error #3: Mala preparación de la propiedad

¿Crees que solo con amueblar tu apartamento y subir algunas fotos es suficiente? Piénsalo de nuevo. En un mercado competitivo como Tenerife, los huéspedes esperan estándares altos.

Una propiedad mal preparada puede traducirse en reseñas negativas, menos reservas y, en última instancia, pérdida de ingresos.

La primera impresión cuenta — y muchos huéspedes deciden si reservar solo con ver las fotos y la calidad del anuncio. Una vez que llegan, la experiencia debe cumplir —o incluso superar— sus expectativas.

Instrucciones poco claras para los huéspedes

Contrata a un fotógrafo profesional (incluido en el servicio de gestión integral de Pambnb)

Sigue la lista oficial de equipamiento obligatorio establecida en el Decreto 113/2015

Va más allá de lo básico para crear una experiencia memorable

Gestionar un alquiler vacacional suena fácil… hasta que deja de serlo.

Lo que comienza como un proyecto secundario sencillo puede convertirse rápidamente en un trabajo a tiempo completo. Entre coordinar limpiezas de última hora, responder mensajes de huéspedes a cualquier hora, gestionar cancelaciones o reservas dobles, ajustar precios para seguir siendo competitivo, atender emergencias de mantenimiento y cumplir con las obligaciones legales, la presión puede volverse abrumadora.

Cada tarea exige atención al detalle, tiempos de respuesta rápidos y un conocimiento profundo de las expectativas del huésped y de las tendencias del mercado. Y si gestionas a distancia o compaginas esto con otro trabajo, el estrés se multiplica.

Es un trabajo a tiempo completo si se hace bien

Las expectativas de los huéspedes son más altas que nunca

Delega el día a día en una agencia de gestión profesional como Pambnb

Enfócate en la estrategia, no en la operación

Aprovecha nuestras herramientas tecnológicas, precios dinámicos y soporte local

Muchos propietarios se agotan intentando hacerlo todo por su cuenta y, a menudo, se dan cuenta demasiado tarde de que han cambiado su libertad financiera por una ansiedad constante.

Publicar tu propiedad es solo el primer paso. La diferencia entre tener el calendario lleno o vacío muchas veces está en los detalles del anuncio.

Falta de sincronización de calendarios entre plataformas

Deja que Pambnb se encargue de optimizar tu anuncio: títulos, fotos, precios y comunicación con los huéspedes

Usa herramientas como precios dinámicos y respuestas automáticas

Tener una vivienda vacacional en las Islas Canarias es una gran oportunidad — pero solo si se gestiona de forma estratégica.

Estos errores comunes son fáciles de cometer, pero con el socio adecuado, también son fáciles de evitar.

Throughout this guide, you'll chart a course from the initial local authority enquiry right up to the drafting of the responsible declaration of commencement of holiday rental activity. Concerned about meeting the minimum equipment requirements or unsure how to register your property with the Inland Revenue under the IAE 685 heading? Don’t worry, we'll cover it in detail!

We'll also delve into the intriguing world of non-hotel tourist accommodations, learn about the importance of reporting data to the police department, and review the legal and tax obligations that all owners must fulfil.

If you've heard horror stories about the risks of renting without a tourist license, we'll equip you with the necessary details to protect your investment and peace of mind. Worried about making common mistakes in this process? We'll provide you with a list of the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them. And, of course, we'll discuss the value of having professional assistance to guide you through this process, ensuring that your path to vacation rental is as smooth as an Atlantic breeze wafting through the Canary Islands.

So, dive into this article and discover how you can transform the process of obtaining a vacation rental licence in the Canary Islands from an overwhelming challenge into a well-navigated journey.

While this process might seem complicated, you don't have to go it alone. If you're not comfortable or don't have the time to manage all these details, speaking with a consultant can be a great help. At Pambnb, we can accompany you on this journey and ensure that everything is done correctly. This way, you can focus on what truly matters: offering your guests an unforgettable experience at your property.

According to Article 10 of Decree 113/2015, there are legal minimum equipment requirements that your property must meet. Here, we present a clear and concise list of these requirements, divided by areas of your property, to make it easier for you to ensure everything is in order.

Non-deformable hangers of a uniform style.

Double or single beds of the minimum stipulated dimensions.

Sufficient bedding and linens per guest: mattress protector, sheets or similar, blanket, pillow, bed cover.

If the booking is for more than a week, another set of bedding per guest will be provided for each week or fraction thereof.

Sufficient towel rails, hangers or hooks.

System to prevent water from escaping the bathtub or shower tray.

If the stay is longer than a week, another set of towels per guest will be provided for each week or fraction thereof.

Dishes, cutlery and glassware appropriate to the capacity of the guests.

Sufficient cookware and linens for the handling and consumption of food.

With these elements in place, you'll be well-prepared to meet the minimum equipment requirements for your property. Now, let's move on to the next step: Registering your property with the Inland Revenue known as the “Agencia Tributaria Canaria“ under the IAE 685 heading.

Although the preceding list outlines the basic equipment requirements that you must comply with under Article 10 of Decree 113/2015, don't simply stick to the basics. Think about kitting out your holiday rental property with extra amenities to provide enhanced comfort for your guests and inject some unique personality into your rental. Incorporating elements that surpass your guests' expectations can significantly improve their experience and set your property apart from the competition. For ideas on how to do this, check 

Preliminary Activity Consultation with the Council 

The first crucial step towards obtaining a licence for your holiday rental in the Canary Islands is to carry out a Preliminary Activity Consultation with the Council, known as the "Consulta Previa de Inicio de Actividad". For a fee around €100, this consultation allows you to check with your local council whether your intended holiday rental activity is permissible in your specific property.

Depending on the council, the consultation can be conducted digitally, with a digital certificate and card payment. To carry it out, you need to fill in a form detailing the activity you will undertake. Along with this form, you must present a document proving your right to use the house for this activity. This document could be the property deed or a rental contract.

Additionally, you'll need to provide photographs of the property's exterior (mainly the entrance) and interior. A picture of the cadastral map showing the exact location of the house is also required. You can take a photo of the map and add an arrow to point out your property.

The response time for this consultation is generally swift, though it can take up to 30 days. It's crucial to remember that the Preliminary Activity Consultation is a key step in the licensing process. Without it, you can'tproceed with the other necessary steps to legalise your holiday rental.

Registering with the Tax Office: IAE 685 Category

The next step in your holiday rental procedures is to register with the Tax Office, known in Spanish as the “Agencia Tributaria Canaria”, under the IAE 685 Category for Business Activities: Extra-Hotel Tourist Accommodation.

To register, you'll need to fill in form number 400, which can be done online with your digital certificate. This process is approved instantly, making the procedure much more manageable.

It's essential to note that the holiday rental activity is subject to the Canary Islands General Indirect Tax (IGIC). Depending on your total income, you may be able to register on the Small Business Owners Register (REPEP), which can provide certain tax benefits. If you're ready to proceed,

If you're not comfortable handling these procedures yourself, speaking with an advisor is highly recommended.

the tax paid on holiday homes in the Canary Islands

As per Royal Decree 933/2021 of 26 October, all individuals or entities conducting extra-hotel tourist accommodation activities are required to provide certain information to authorities.

It's vital to remember that data communication to police departments should be communicated within the first 24 hours after their arrival. This registration is carried out through the SES.HOSPEDAJESplatform, enabled by the Ministry of the Interior.

You can register on this platform with your digital certificate through the 

, keep in mind that the website is in Spanish.

In addition to being a legal requirement, this also provides added security. If issues arise with your guests, it will be much easier to handle the situation if you've already shared their data with the authorities.

Responsible Declaration of Commencement of Holiday Rental Activity 

Once you have completed the previous steps, you're ready for the final official procedure: the Responsible Declaration of Commencement of Holiday Rental Activity, known in Spanish as the "DeclaraciónResponsable de Inicio de la Actividad de Vivienda Vacacional". This is a relatively straightforward process that will only take a few minutes of your time.

The Responsible Declaration is an assertion on your part that you comply with all regulations and legal obligations associated with holiday rental. It's crucial to understand that the authorities do not verify the veracity of your declaration at the time of its submission, so it's your responsibility to ensure that all the information provided is accurate and complete.

Once you have submitted this declaration, you will receive a document with your licence number, and you are legally authorised to begin operating your holiday rental. If you're ready to proceed,

Common Mistakes in the Holiday Rental Licensing Process and How to Avoid Them

When initiating the management of a holiday rental, it's easy to fall into legal and bureaucratic pitfalls. A common mistake is not fully understanding the legal requirements, or even worse, incorrectly declaring in the Responsible Declaration. It's crucial to understand that the state does not verify the truthfulness of your declaration at the time of submission, meaning it is your responsibility to ensure that all the information provided is accurate and complete. Following the submission of the declaration, the license is granted, but if any non-compliance is discovered in the future during a control, the consequences can be severe. 

Another common error is underestimating the time it takes to obtain the license. Many owners, eager to start renting, begin to do so during the licensing process, before receiving official approval. This is a serious mistake that can result in significant penalties. Here is a 

 on the risks of renting without the license.

Moreover, failing to meet certain home requirements, such as maintaining a proper record of travellers, can be a reason for fines. For instance, not having a record of travellers could result in a fine ranging from 601 to 30,000 euros.

At Pambnb, we can assist you with the licensing process. We work with professionals who are specialised in these matters and can help you navigate these complicated legal processes. They'll help you avoid costly errors and ensure a smooth holiday rental experience. Don't let legal obstacles prevent you from enjoying the benefits of your holiday property.
