How it works
Tourists book accommodations on Granada platforms or third-party sites only to arrive and find the property non-existent or vastly different from listings. Hosts in the Albaicín and around Plaza Nueva frequently demand additional "cleaning fees," "booking errors," or "damage deposits" not disclosed upfront. Payment goes directly to fraudulent accounts with no recourse.
