• Mention what's unique — the architecture, the garden, the views from the master bedroom
• Include nearby landmarks (beach, golf, marina) with distances

Bedroom configuration
Tell guests exactly what beds are in each room
Configure each bedroom individually. Guests search by bed type — a "King en-suite" performs significantly better than "double". Be accurate: misrepresenting bedroom config is the #1 cause of guest complaints.
Amenities
Select everything your property offers
Tick every amenity that applies — even obvious ones. Guests filter by amenities and your listing won't appear in results if an amenity isn't ticked. Airbnb and Booking.com pull this data directly to populate their listings.

House rules
Shown clearly to guests before they book. Specific rules reduce disputes and protect your deposit.
RC includes all house rules in the rental agreement guests sign during online check-in. Under Spanish law (Junta de Andalucía regulations), you must display house rules at the property. If a guest breaks a rule, having it documented here protects your right to make a deposit deduction.

Photos
Upload 10–20 professional photos. High quality photos are the single biggest factor in booking rate.
Order matters: Photo 1 = cover image shown in search results. RC's top-performing listings follow this order: 1. Pool + exterior 2. Living room 3. Master bedroom 4. Kitchen 5. Views 6. Additional bedrooms 7. Bathrooms 8. Outdoor dining 9. Details & features.
Photo tips from RC's top-performing listings:
• Shoot during golden hour (7–9am or 6–8pm) for pool and exterior shots
• Always include: exterior, pool, living room, kitchen, each bedroom, bathrooms, views, outdoor dining
• Horizontal (landscape) orientation only — portrait photos are cropped awkwardly
• Minimum 2000px wide · well-lit · no people or personal belongings visible
• Shoot during golden hour (7–9am or 6–8pm) for pool and exterior shots
• Always include: exterior, pool, living room, kitchen, each bedroom, bathrooms, views, outdoor dining

Upload at least 10 photos. Drag to reorder — first is your cover. RC may request professional photography before publishing.
Property video
A walkthrough video dramatically increases booking rate. Upload to YouTube and paste the link here.
A 2-minute walkthrough video is the most effective way to convert enquiries into bookings. Guests who watch a video are 4× more likely to book. Upload to YouTube (free) and paste the link here — it embeds directly in your listing.
Film: exterior approach → pool → living/dining → kitchen → master bedroom → views. Keep it under 3 minutes.
Tourism registration
Required by Spanish law to list and rent your property. RC cannot publish your listing without a valid NRUA/VFT number.
⚠️ This is a legal requirement. Short-term tourist rentals in Andalucía must be registered with the Junta de Andalucía. Fines for unlicensed rentals start at €2,000 and can reach €150,000.
Found on your Junta de Andalucía registration certificate. Format: VFT/MA/12345 (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos / Málaga / number)
Don't have one yet? Contact us — RC can refer you to a local gestor who handles the registration for €150–300. The process takes 2–4 weeks. You can list in draft mode while you wait, but your listing won't go live until we have the number.
📁 Upload VFT/NRUA certificate · PDF or JPG
Owner / manager details
Legal information for the tenancy agreement and authority reporting
NIE for EU/non-EU residents · NIF for Spanish nationals · Passport number acceptable if no NIE yet
