Based on what is being advertised on property websites, almost a third of rented accommodation is for rooms.

On one site there are some 2,500 ads for rent; around 800 of these are for rooms. In Palma there are 1,474 places for rent, 539 of which are rooms.

The lowest price for a room is 240 euros per month. The highest price is 1,700 euros for a room on C. Monseñor Palmer in Palma.

Some are just being advertised seasonally, so they don't represent long-term rental possibilities, but most are long term, with prices averaging 500 euros per month, which is what would be paid for a whole flat in much of Spain.

On prices, unofficial data from the Idealista website show that the average rental price in the Balearics increased by 9.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with October to December 2023. This is well above the 2.2% annual increase which is the reference index price for rental contracts as published by the National Statistics Institute.

JackyWell, we have a big problem then. There's 380,000 hotel rooms in Mallorca. Full of foreigners. According to some here, they all arrive on rubber boats in the middle of the night. Good job we all have the sense to go to Turkey now.

Room Rental´s are very common in places where there are large number´s of people without proper or any documentation or don´t have any Legal status little or no income are not integrated into the society in any way it´s been like that for thousands of year´s and it's not going to ever change .
