Boost Your Bookings with Discounts and Short Stays

Why offer discounts and short stays?

Discounts and flexible stay options are practical ways to lift visibility, reach more guests, and fill calendar gaps. Discounts help you attract guests during low-demand periods without reducing your base price. Short stays appeal to short-break travellers and weekenders, helping lift occupancy—especially in shoulder and low seasons.

Attract more guests with discounts

• First 3 bookings discount — automatically applied to the first 3 bookings of a new property.
• Mobile Discount — to attract guests booking from mobile devices.
• Loyalty Discount — a fixed 10% discount for frequent travellers (only available for properties with minimum 3 reviews in both Holidu and Booking.com with an average score of 7.5 or higher).
• Early Bird Discount — for guests who book in advance. You choose the lead time.
• Last-Minute Discount — to fill availability with short-notice bookings.
• Weekly Discount — rewards longer stays of 7 nights or more.
• Discount for your direct booking website — offer guests a small discount when they book directly with you. They pay less, and you keep more.

Smart ways to fill your calendar

• Fill short gaps between reservations — fills calendar gaps with short stays at the price uplift you set.
• Accept short stays for full-stay pay — allows bookings for fewer nights than your standard minimum while keeping your earnings intact.
• Lower your minimum stay for last-minute dates — automatically reduces the minimum stay requirement as the check-in date approaches.

How to configure your settings

Log in to your Holidu Host Account and go to Configuration → Discounts. Select Configure, adjust your parameters according to your property's needs, and click Activate to save your changes. You set the percentages, windows, and minimums. Holidu's pricing recommendations are based on local market data, so you can match each setting to demand in your area.

By combining the right discounts with flexible stay options, you make your property more competitive year-round, lift occupancy, and reach a wider range of guests.
