ACCESS, USERNAME AND PASSWORD
How do I enter my Owners’ Control Panel?
Make sure that you enter the right username/e-mail with which you registered and the Rentalia password. Then click on " Enter".
I do not remember my username and password
You can enter your e-mail at the following link. You will receive an e-mail that will guide you through the password recovery process so that you can continue using your user account.
Can I change my password or my e-mail address?
In the Owners’ section, log in with your current username and password. In the top right-hand corner you will see your username, click on this and you will see a link with the text "Edit profile". You can edit your password or any other personal details (these details will not be published: they are for the sole use of contact between the Rentalia.com staff and you).
I see a message in red which says that my username already exists. How is that possible given that I have never registered?
It is possible that you are entering a very common username, like "Antonio" or "Mary", which another person probably has already used. Try using another username or a combination of letters and numbers (example: "mary258") until the system allows you to register.
HOW TO REGISTER AS AN OWNER

PROMOTIONS AND PRICES
How do I pay for a promotion?
- By direct debit. We require the 20 digits of your bank account.
- By Visa or Mastercard. We require the 16 digits of your card, as well as the expiry date.
- Bank transfer. You need to deposit the amount for the promotion in our Bankinter account 0128 0061 19 0500001276, Account holder Rentalia Holidays S.L. or Banesto 0030 1030 01 0297751273, Account holder Rentalia Holidays S.L. We then require that you send us proof of payment by fax: 91 420 14 33 or e-mail to comercial@rentalia.com.
Whichever of these three forms of payment you use, you need to add 18% VAT (if applicable) and we require your details to send you the invoice:
· Name and surname of the person or company on the invoice
· Address
· NIF/CIF (tax code)
· Postcode
· Town/city
· Province
· Country
How do I renew my promotion?
Five days before the expiry date of your promotion, you will receive an e-mail from Rentalia telling you how to renew it.
You can also enter your Owners’ Control Panel and click on the link "Online Contracting " for the advertisement you wish to renew.
Finally, you can call us on 902 570 082 or send us an e-mail to comercial@rentalia.com giving:
- the reference number of the accommodation you wish to renew,
- the type of promotion,
- the duration
- how you wish to make the payment (direct debit, card or bank transfer).
Can I upgrade my current promotion?
Yes. In your Owners’ Control Panel you will see a link with the text "Upgrade to Premium " or "Upgrade to Platinum " (depending on each particular case). We will deduct the amount that you have not yet used in your current promotion for your upgrade.
Can I substitute an accommodation in my advertisement for another?
Yes, but to do so you have to create a new advertisement and we will change the promotion of one advertisement for the other. This service has a cost, please do not hesitate to contact us about your particular case.
I would like to advertise an accommodation which is different to the one I had/have. Can I take advantage of the one month's free trial?
Sorry, the free month trial is only for new advertisers and one single advertisement.
Are there any discounts for several advertisements?
Yes. In Rentalia you can take advantage of discounts from the second advertisement you publish. If you have more than 15 accommodations, you can contract one of our professional packs and advertise all of them as cheaply as possible.
Can I place several accommodations in one single advertisement?
Yes, but they must be in the same building or on the same piece of land or estate. If there is a large group of travellers who wish to rent your accommodation then it is preferable that these be in the same building. If not, they may find it uncomfortable and misunderstandings or negative reviews may arise.
When it comes to creating an advert or adding a new accommodation, you must be clear about your information on the number of accommodations advertised and the capacity of each one to avoid these misunderstandings.
Can I receive an invoice for the service?
Yes. In your Owners’ Control Panel, you can access your invoice in .pdf format by clicking on the link " See Invoice". You will also receive it by e-mail.
EDITING DETAILS
How can I make changes to my accommodation file?
From the Owners’ Control Panel, using your username and password, you can see that each advertisement has a series of links on the right hand side: "Modify or add photos", "Update availability" and "Modify prices". These links will help you to perform the most frequent modifications quickly.
To change other details such as: contact, characteristics, distances, texts, etc. you can click on "More modifications".
How long does it take to publish the modifications?
Some modifications will be subjected to a review by our Contents team and will normally not be automatically published in the advertisement. We will advise you by e-mail when these modifications have been published. They are normally published in less than one working day.
Can I have more than one price table in my advertisement?
Yes, we advise you to inform travellers in your advertisement of the prices for different capacities. Send us an e-mail to info@rentalia.com with the different price tables you wish to publish in your advertisement and we will add them for you.
How many photos can I publish in my advertisement?
In Rentalia, there is no limit to the number of photos in each advertisement, you can have as many as you wish :). The only thing we ask you to do is to have a minimum of two indoor photos, which show that your accommodation is furnished and ready to be rented at any time.
I have problems uploading the photographs to my advertisement
Please check that the photograph format is correct (we only accept the following formats: .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp or .tiff ), or that the photograph files are not too large.
For large photographs, we recommend that you send them by e-mail. You will find an e-mail address with the format image-xxxxx@rentalia.com, and by sending photos to this address, they will be automatically uploaded to your advertisement. Later you will be able to provide a heading, activate or deactivate them, etc.
Should I update my calendar even if I do not have any new bookings?
Yes. Travellers do not trust calendars that have not been updated, therefore, in Rentalia any calendar that has not been updated for 30 days is deactivated and no longer appears in the advertisement.
Rentalia will send you an e-mail when your calendar is about to be deactivated. With just a couple of clicks, you can update your calendar even though you do not have any new bookings. If you do not do so, then your calendar will be deactivated and your advertisement will no longer appear in the search by dates made by travellers.
OWNER SERVICES
Statistics: How can I see my statistics ?
Enter the Owners’ Panel with your username and password. On the right of your accommodation photograph, in the column "Your advertisement ", you will see the link "See statistics". Here you can view the number of visits to your advertisement in the last 30 days and the accumulated visits in the last few months.
Languages: Can I publish my advertisement in other languages?
Your advertisement is published in the 7 Rentalia languages with the characteristics, distances and prices you have indicated.
In order to have an advertisement with greater clarity and more success among foreign customers, we would like to offer you the translation service at cost price. You can now translate the description of your house into each language for only 15 euros + plus VAT per language (up to 150 words). This way you will receive more bookings from foreign customers in the languages you have chosen. Send us your texts to info@rentalia.com and, in less than 15 days, the translations will be published in your advertisement.
Furthermore, if you are fluent in any of the languages in which travellers can surf Rentalia, you can translate the description yourself.
How do I activate the SMS alert system?
With this service, which is exclusive for Premium and Platinum, you will receive an SMS every time you are contacted by a traveller. You can activate this by entering your advertisement and clicking on “ More Modifications” and then on "Basic Details", activating the checkbox and entering the mobile number on which you wish to receive the SMS.
How can I publish an offer in my advertisement?
Publishing an offer is the best way to highlight your advertisement and attract the attention of travellers. To do so, you simply log in with your e-mail and password in your Owners’ Control Panel and click on the link "Publish your offer" in your advertisement. There, you only need to indicate the prices with the discount and how long you would like this offer to be published.
If you have any doubts, we can solve them for you by entering our blog (in Spanish).
LEGAL TERMS
Examples of contracts for safe transactions.
As you know, Rentalia offers an advertising service with information on holiday homes, where there is direct contact between the traveller and the owner. Therefore, the responsibility of the transaction resides exclusively between the traveller and the owner.
To help you, we have published a small summary on how to carry out these rentals and we can offer you examples of regulation documents and short lease contracts to guarantee a satisfactory transaction for both parties.
OTHER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do users contact me?
Rentalia is not an intermediary between the owners and users. Your advertisement will show the contact telephone numbers which you have asked to appear. Also, a user can fill in a contact form to send you a request in the form of an e-mail.
I have received an e-mail from a traveller but with an address which is user-xxxxx@rentalia.com, how do I answer ?
It is as simple as clicking on "Responder" or "Reply" :) and the e-mail that you send to an address of the type user-xxxxx@rentalia.com in fact goes directly to the traveller’s own e-mail address, and you can also send attachments with your reply. It is important that you answer from the address with which you registered in Rentalia. If you are going to answer from a different address then you can add this as an authorised address in the section "Basic Details" in your advertisement.
These types of e-mail addresses are used to calculate your answer rate and speed, but in no way impede the contact with the traveller.
What does my position in the search results depend on?
When a Rentalia user does a search for an accommodation, with any kind of characteristic (capacity, proximity to the beach, with a swimming pool...), the first accommodations shown are those that coincide exactly with the request. Within these, the order is as follows:
- the first promotions to appear are the Platinum Promotions
- these are followed by the Premium Promotions
- and then the Classic Promotions
Within the Promotions of the same range, there are two primary factors: the language of the description and the seniority date. The first implies that having your accommodation in several languages means that you will appear in a better position in the listings for these languages. The seniority date refers to the date that you contracted the promotion. Rentalia awards the fidelity of our owners, and therefore those homes that have been advertised longer will appear in better positions. If you preserve your seniority you will maintain your position in the search results.
Why doesn't my advertisement appear with a photo in the search results?
The large photo in the search results is a characteristic that only appears with Platinum and Premium advertisements.
If your advertisement is a Classic promotion, you have the possibility of having a small photograph but only if you are among the first 10 positions in the search results.
If you would like your advertisement to be highlighted with a large photograph then why not upgrade your promotion to Platinum or Premium.
What seniority benefits are there?
In a search result in which 2 holiday homes have the same promotion and description in the given language, the accommodation with the longest seniority will appear in front. Therefore, the longer you advertise your accommodation in Rentalia, the better position this will have.
How can I improve my advertisement and have greater visibility?
Each case is different and our colleagues in the Commercial Department will be more than willing to assist you. Write to them at comercial@rentalia.com and they will be able to advise you on how to improve the visibility of your advertisement.
Moreover, we always advise our owners to review the contents of their advertisements: update the descriptions, add price tables for different capacities, upload current photos, etc. This advice, published in our blog, will help you (in Spanish).
How can I verify my address?
If we have not sent you an alpha numerical code to the postal address of your accommodation, then please request it personally. To do so, enter the Owners’ Control Panel with your e-mail and password, click on the link "Not verified - ask for code" and click on "Accept" in the box that appears.
If we have already sent you this code and you would like to verify the address, log in with your e-mail and password at your Owners’ Control Panel then click on "Verify address". A box will open where you must enter the alpha numerical code you have received by post at the address of your accommodation. Once you have entered this and clicked on "Accept" your address will be verified and your advertisement will have the message "Verified by address".
If the system does not accept the alpha numerical code, please contact us at info@rentalia.com so that we can solve the situation.
How can my accommodation appear in the "Beach location"?
In Rentalia, any accommodation that is less than 15 km from a beach can appear in the "beach location" section. If this applies to you, you can mark the "beach location" box either when you register the accommodation or in subsequent modifications.
How can my accommodation appear in the "Skiing location"?
In order to help the traveller, Rentalia can only show those accommodations that are close to a ski resort in the "ski location" results. We understand "close to a ski resort" as being an accommodation that is less than 30 minutes away by car. We use Google Maps to calculate this distance.
If your accommodation complies with this condition, you can mark the "ski location" box either when you register or in later modifications.
CAMPAIGN: INVITE OTHER OWNERS-CONDITIONS
What does the " Invite other owners" campaign consist of?
- If you are an owner in Rentalia and have or have had an advertisement published in Rentalia, you can invite other owners to advertise their accommodations with us and get a 20 euros discount.
- If the invited owner has never advertised with Rentalia before and contracts a promotion in Rentalia using the promotional code of your invitation, you will receive a 20 euros discount.
- Discounts are accummable, so you can invite as many owners as you wish. If the amount of the discount exceeds the price of the promotion when you renew, the balance will go towards the next renewal.
- That is how Rentalia rewards your recommendations and your fidelity. Also, the owner you have invited will get another 20 euros discount.
- Visit the campaign invitation page with your username and password and send us your invitations.
- The invited owners can only use one single promotional code with the 20 euros discount. As an invited owner, the discount expires one year after they have received the invitation. Once they become owners with an advertisement published in Rentalia they will be able to invite others.
How do I invite other owners?
- If you have or have had an advertisement published in Rentalia, you can invite other owners advertise their accommodations with us and get a 20 euros discount.
- Visit the campaign invitation page with your username and password and send your invitations.
- If an invited owner has never had an advertisement published in Rentalia and contracts a promotion, you will get a 20 euros discount.
How will I know that my invited owners have accepted the invitation?
When your invited owner uses the promotional code from your invitation, you will receive an email notifying you that you can take advantage of the 20 euros discount coupon in your next renewal.
How long have I got to use the discount?
If you have several discounts, you can apply these whenever you renew your promotion. If the amount from the discounts exceeds the price of the promotion when you renew, then the balance will go towards the future renewals.
Can I apply the discount to any promotion?
The discount coupons for this promotion are applicable to any Rentalia promotion (see Rentalia promotions).
All discount coupons must be used with direct debit or credit card payments (Visa or Mastercard).
'NOT VERIFIED - BE CAREFUL' WARNING
Why does the "not verified - be careful" warning notice appear in my accommodation?
All accommodations for new owners in Rentalia appear with this warning by default, at least for the first 12 months in which they are published.
What is the purpose of the "not verified - be careful" warning notice?
This warning serves to protect users against possible fraud. Most of these cases are with new accommodations that have not been published for very long in Rentalia.
How can I remove the "not verified - be careful" warning notice from my advertisement?
To remove this warning and therefore increase the traveller’s trust in your advertisement, you can choose any of the following options:
a) Request a code which we send by post. You will receive a letter from Rentalia in the letterbox of your holiday home with an alpha numerical code. You can then log in with your username and password at your Owners’ Control Panel and enter the code you have received by clicking on the link "Verify address". We can therefore prove that you have access to the accommodation you are advertising.
b) You can contract a professional photo shoot for €100 plus VAT (only available for accommodations in Spain, Italy or Andorra). The photographer will confirm the existence of the accommodation and we will show a sign which says "Photos taken by Rentalia" on the accommodation file. The photographer will give you the original photos without any watermark.
Once you comply with one of these conditions, we will remove the "not verified – be careful" warning. However, after you have been advertised with Rentalia for 12 months, the warning will be automatically removed.

What does my position in the search results depend on?
When a Rentalia user does a search for an accommodation, with any kind of characteristic (capacity, proximity to the beach, with a swimming pool...), the first accommodations shown are those that coincide exactly with the request. Within these, the order is as follows:
- the first promotions to appear are the Platinum Promotions
- these are followed by the Premium Promotions
- and then the Classic Promotions
Within the Promotions of the same range, there are two primary factors: the language of the description and the seniority date. The first implies that having your accommodation in several languages means that you will appear in a better position in the listings for these languages. The seniority date refers to the date that you contracted the promotion. Rentalia awards the fidelity of our owners, and therefore those homes that have been advertised longer will appear in better positions. If you preserve your seniority you will maintain your position in the search results.
Why doesn't my advertisement appear with a photo in the search results?
The large photo in the search results is a characteristic that only appears with Platinum and Premium advertisements.
If your advertisement is a Classic promotion, you have the possibility of having a small photograph but only if you are among the first 10 positions in the search results.
If you would like your advertisement to be highlighted with a large photograph then why not upgrade your promotion to Platinum or Premium.
What seniority benefits are there?
In a search result in which 2 holiday homes have the same promotion and description in the given language, the accommodation with the longest seniority will appear in front. Therefore, the longer you advertise your accommodation in Rentalia, the better position this will have.
How can I improve my advertisement and have greater visibility?
Each case is different and our colleagues in the Commercial Department will be more than willing to assist you. Write to them at comercial@rentalia.com and they will be able to advise you on how to improve the visibility of your advertisement.
Moreover, we always advise our owners to review the contents of their advertisements: update the descriptions, add price tables for different capacities, upload current photos, etc. This advice, published in our blog, will help you (in Spanish).
How can I verify my address?
If we have not sent you an alpha numerical code to the postal address of your accommodation, then please request it personally. To do so, enter the Owners’ Control Panel with your e-mail and password, click on the link "Not verified - ask for code" and click on "Accept" in the box that appears.
If we have already sent you this code and you would like to verify the address, log in with your e-mail and password at your Owners’ Control Panel then click on "Verify address". A box will open where you must enter the alpha numerical code you have received by post at the address of your accommodation. Once you have entered this and clicked on "Accept" your address will be verified and your advertisement will have the message "Verified by address".
If the system does not accept the alpha numerical code, please contact us at info@rentalia.com so that we can solve the situation.
How can my accommodation appear in the "Beach location"? In Rentalia, any accommodation that is less than 15 km from a beach can appear in the "beach location" section. If this applies to you, you can mark the "beach location" box either when you register the accommodation or in subsequent modifications.
How can my accommodation appear in the "Skiing location"? In order to help the traveller, Rentalia can only show those accommodations that are close to a ski resort in the "ski location" results. We understand "close to a ski resort" as being an accommodation that is less than 30 minutes away by car. We use Google Maps to calculate this distance.
If your accommodation complies with this condition, you can mark the "ski location" box either when you register or in later modifications.
CAMPAIGN: INVITE OTHER OWNERS-CONDITIONS
- If you are an owner in Rentalia and have or have had an advertisement published in Rentalia, you can invite other owners to advertise their accommodations with us and get a 20 euros discount.
- If the invited owner has never advertised with Rentalia before and contracts a promotion in Rentalia using the promotional code of your invitation, you will receive a 20 euros discount.
- Discounts are accummable, so you can invite as many owners as you wish. If the amount of the discount exceeds the price of the promotion when you renew, the balance will go towards the next renewal.
- That is how Rentalia rewards your recommendations and your fidelity. Also, the owner you have invited will get another 20 euros discount.
- Visit the campaign invitation page with your username and password and send us your invitations.
- The invited owners can only use one single promotional code with the 20 euros discount. As an invited owner, the discount expires one year after they have received the invitation. Once they become owners with an advertisement published in Rentalia they will be able to invite others.
How do I invite other owners?
- If you have or have had an advertisement published in Rentalia, you can invite other owners advertise their accommodations with us and get a 20 euros discount.
- Visit the campaign invitation page with your username and password and send your invitations.
- If an invited owner has never had an advertisement published in Rentalia and contracts a promotion, you will get a 20 euros discount.
How will I know that my invited owners have accepted the invitation?
When your invited owner uses the promotional code from your invitation, you will receive an email notifying you that you can take advantage of the 20 euros discount coupon in your next renewal.
How long have I got to use the discount?
If you have several discounts, you can apply these whenever you renew your promotion. If the amount from the discounts exceeds the price of the promotion when you renew, then the balance will go towards the future renewals.
Can I apply the discount to any promotion?
The discount coupons for this promotion are applicable to any Rentalia promotion (see Rentalia promotions).
All discount coupons must be used with direct debit or credit card payments (Visa or Mastercard).
'NOT VERIFIED - BE CAREFUL' WARNING
All accommodations for new owners in Rentalia appear with this warning by default, at least for the first 12 months in which they are published.
What is the purpose of the "not verified - be careful" warning notice?
This warning serves to protect users against possible fraud. Most of these cases are with new accommodations that have not been published for very long in Rentalia.
How can I remove the "not verified - be careful" warning notice from my advertisement?
To remove this warning and therefore increase the traveller’s trust in your advertisement, you can choose any of the following options:
a) Request a code which we send by post. You will receive a letter from Rentalia in the letterbox of your holiday home with an alpha numerical code. You can then log in with your username and password at your Owners’ Control Panel and enter the code you have received by clicking on the link "Verify address". We can therefore prove that you have access to the accommodation you are advertising.
b) You can contract a professional photo shoot for €100 plus VAT (only available for accommodations in Spain, Italy or Andorra). The photographer will confirm the existence of the accommodation and we will show a sign which says "Photos taken by Rentalia" on the accommodation file. The photographer will give you the original photos without any watermark.
Once you comply with one of these conditions, we will remove the "not verified – be careful" warning. However, after you have been advertised with Rentalia for 12 months, the warning will be automatically removed.
