Only twelve out of 1,300: Island council downplays accusations of illegal holiday rentals

Answer

Are the holiday rental figures in Mallorca based on all properties or just a sample?

The figures discussed by the island council were based on a review of listings, not on every holiday accommodation in Mallorca. That means the numbers should be read as a snapshot rather than a full island-wide count. Sample checks can show trends, but they do not capture the whole market.
