Can I change the property name or ownership information in my property ad?

Yes, you can update your property name in your Holidu listing, but ownership information follows specific rules depending on which channel your property appears on. This guide explains what you can change and how it works across different booking platforms.

Changing your property name

You can modify your property name directly in your Holidu listing settings. This change will be reflected across all channels where your property is distributed, including partner platforms like Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo.

To update your property name:

1. Log in to your Holidu host account
2. Navigate to your property listing settings
3. Find the property name field
4. Edit the name to your preferred choice
5. Save your changes

Understanding host name display across channels

Host names are displayed differently depending on which platform guests are using to book your property. It is important to understand these differences for technical and contractual reasons.

Host name on partner channels

When your property is published on partner channels such as Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo, Holidu appears as the host name on those listings. Your personal name cannot be customized on these external channels.

This setup ensures that:

• Guests can book through trusted partner channels with a recognizable name
• The connection between Holidu and external channels remains compliant with their rules
• Your property reaches a wider audience while Holidu manages the technical administration

Where your name appears as host

There are two specific places where your personal name will display as the host instead of Holidu:

1. On the Holidu channel: Your name appears as the Host, while Holidu is listed as the Manager
2. On your Direct Booking Website: Your name is visible in the "Your Host" section at the top of the page, where you can also add a short bio to build trust with guests

Personalizing your Direct Booking Website

If you want to showcase more information about yourself as a host, you can customize your Direct Booking Website. This is where guests booking directly with you will see your name and personal details prominently displayed.

Key takeaways

• You can change your property name in Holidu, and it updates across all channels
• Host names on partner channels (Booking.com, Airbnb, Vrbo) cannot be customized and will display as Holidu for compliance and trust reasons
• Your personal name as host appears on Holidu's own channel and your Direct Booking Website
• Use your Direct Booking Website to build a personal connection with guests through your host bio
