Yes, many vacation rentals welcome pets, so you can often bring your furry companions along. Whether you book through Holidu, Booking.com, or Airbnb, you can filter for pet-friendly stays and check the property details before you book.

How Do I Find Pet-Friendly Stays?

Each platform has its own way of filtering for pet-friendly accommodation. Follow the steps for the platform you are using.

Booking.com

There are two easy ways to find pet-friendly stays on Booking.com:

During the booking process

• When you select your destination, dates, and number of guests, choose "Travelling with pets?" from the guest selection drop-down menu.
• Select this option to see only accommodations that allow pets.

Using the search filters

• If you did not select "Travelling with pets?" earlier, you can still apply the "Pets allowed" filter.
• Check this box under the "Facilities" section of the filter options on the left-hand side of the search results.

Airbnb

There are two simple ways to find pet-friendly listings on Airbnb:

During the booking process

• When you select your destination, dates, and number of guests, add the number of pets travelling with you in the guest selection drop-down menu.
• Once selected, your search results will automatically include accommodations that allow pets.

Using the search filters

• If you did not enter the number of pets earlier, click "Filters" in the top right corner of the search page.
• In the pop-up window, check the box for "Allows pets" under the "Booking options" section.
• If you added pets during the booking process, this filter will already be applied.

Holidu

You can filter your search results in just a few clicks:

During the booking process

• Start by selecting your destination, travel dates, and number of guests.
• Once the search results appear, refine your search by applying filters.

Using the pet-friendly filter

• On the left side of the search results page, look for the "Popular filters" or "Amenities" section.
• Check the box for "Pets allowed".
• Your search results will then display only accommodations that welcome pets.

What Pet Rules and Fees Should I Check Before I Book?

Each listing clearly states whether pets are allowed, along with any specific rules. Some hosts may have restrictions on the number, size, or type of pets, and additional fees may apply. Always review the listing before you book:

• On Booking.com, review the description and the property information.
• On Airbnb, review the description and the house rules under "Things to know".
• On Holidu, review the description of each accommodation for details on house rules, extra pet fees, and the number, size, or type of pets allowed.

Some properties require you to add your pet during the booking process. On Holidu, review the Extra Services section on the checkout page, below your personal details. If you did not add your pet to your booking, contact the host to let them know there is a pet travelling with you.

Do I Need to Tell the Host About My Pet?

Yes. If you did not add your pet to your booking, contact the host as soon as possible to inform them that a pet will be staying with you. On Holidu, please also add your pet's information in the check-in form.
