Managing your listing on Holidu is straightforward and gives you full control over your property's information. Whether you're updating prices, changing amenities, or modifying booking policies, you can make most changes directly from your account. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about updating and editing your listing.

Where to Update Your Listing

You can update your listing information in two convenient ways:

  • Directly on the Holidu website
  • Via the Holidu Host app

Both options provide the same functionality, so choose whichever is most convenient for you.

What You Can Update Independently

Most of your listing information can be edited by you at any time. Here's a detailed breakdown of what you can manage:

Pricing and Rates

You have complete control over your property's pricing structure. You can adjust:

  • Nightly rates and weekend prices
  • Minimum stay requirements
  • Check-in and check-out day preferences
  • Availability calendar
  • Guest discounts to encourage longer stays or repeat bookings
  • Additional charges including cleaning fees, tourism fees, security deposits, and extra guest charges per night

Regularly reviewing and adjusting your pricing before peak seasons and low seasons can help maximize your bookings and revenue.

General Property Information

Update your property's core details:

  • Property Type: Change your property classification as needed
  • Guest Capacity: Modify the number of guests your property can accommodate according to your local licensing requirements
  • Check-in and Check-out Times: Customize these hours to reflect when you or a representative will be available to welcome guests or provide lockbox access, free of charge
  • Advance Notice: Set the minimum booking notice required from guests, ranging from same-day bookings to up to 3 days in advance

Amenities

Keep your amenities list current by adding or removing services offered at your property. Common amenities include:

  • WiFi
  • Swimming pool
  • Bed linens and towels
  • Pet-friendly accommodations
  • Kitchen appliances and tools

Important note: For an amenity to be marked as available, it must be offered at all times and at no additional cost. If you offer a service conditionally or for an extra fee, mention it in your property description instead.

Sleeping Arrangements

Modify your property's bedroom and bed configuration:

  • Update the number of bedrooms available
  • Change the number and types of beds in each room

When configuring bedrooms, always consider your local regulations, including requirements for enclosed rooms, windows, and minimum room dimensions.

Arrival Information

Update check-in details and specify who is responsible for greeting guests. Remember to notify any guests with existing bookings about significant changes to arrival procedures.

Cancellation Policies

You can adjust your cancellation policy for new bookings. Keep in mind that policy changes only apply to future reservations, not to bookings that have already been confirmed.

Collaborators

Add team members or property managers to help manage your listing by granting them account access.

Calendar Synchronization

If your property is listed on multiple booking platforms, sync your calendars to prevent double bookings and maintain accurate availability across all channels.

Contact Information

Update your contact details whenever they change. If your contact information matches the person handling check-in, update the "Guest Arrival Information" section as well. Notify guests with existing reservations about any significant contact changes.

Property Description

Whenever you update services or details in your listing, refresh your property description to match. A current, accurate description is essential for attracting guests and setting proper expectations. You can edit your description at any time and should generate new descriptions when major changes occur. For detailed guidance on writing compelling descriptions, refer to our dedicated article on generating your property description.

Photo Management

You now have full self-service control over your property's photo gallery. You can manage both your own photos and professional photography images taken by Holidu. Keep your visual presentation fresh and appealing to potential guests.

What Requires Holidu Assistance

Some listing elements require our support team's help to modify:

  • Location and Address: If you need to change your property's location or address, contact our team through the in-app Assistant for assistance

Important Considerations

  • Changes to descriptions, amenities, and photos are typically visible to guests immediately or after a brief review period
  • Significant updates like pricing or policy changes may impact your search ranking and guest experience, so make changes strategically
  • Always preview your listing from a guest's perspective to ensure all information is accurate and appealing
  • Reach out to our support team if you encounter any locked fields or need assistance with location changes

Best Practices for Listing Management

To maximize bookings and maintain high guest satisfaction:

  • Keep your calendar, photos, amenities, and contact information current and accurate
  • Use detailed, accurate property and room descriptions to set clear expectations for potential guests
  • Review your pricing structure, cancellation policies, and additional charges regularly, especially before seasonal changes
  • Update your amenities list whenever you add new services or facilities to your property
  • Maintain a fresh photo gallery to showcase your property in its best light
