What is SES Hospedajes?
SES Hospedajes is the Spanish Ministry of the Interior platform through which tourist accommodations report their guests’ data. Here is what it is, who it affects, and how to comply effortlessly.
What is SES Hospedajes?
SES Hospedajes is the digital platform of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior through which accommodation establishments report guest data to the authorities.
It is part of the SES system (Sistema de Entrada de Viajeros) and replaces older reporting systems such as Webpol and Hospederías. It became fully operational at the end of 2024.
The goal is to centralise and digitise traveller registration, which until now was handled with paper forms or scattered systems.

What data to submit and within what deadline
For each guest you must report a broad set of data: identification (name, surnames, document type and number), date of birth, nationality, sex, contact and residence details, plus information on the reservation, dates, and payment.
Minors’ data, including those under 14, must also be registered, indicating their relationship to the responsible adult.
The report must be made within a maximum of 24 hours from the guest’s arrival (check-in).
How to comply with SES Hospedajes effortlessly
Doing this filing manually, guest by guest, consumes hours and invites errors. BookCheckin automates the whole process end to end.
The guest completes online check-in before arrival: they scan their document, review their data, and sign. BookCheckin validates the information and files it with SES Hospedajes — or the relevant regional system — within the legal deadline, and keeps the receipt.

Generate an XML file with the 21 mandatory fields per guest and the soporteDocumento field, or fill in the data manually in the form. Each grouped submission is called a lote.

Confirm the batch submission
Validate the lote contents and confirm it. The system processes the records and rejects any with incomplete or malformed data, so you can fix them before the 24-hour mark.
