Generating Your Property Description

Writing a strong property description is key to attracting more bookings. With Holidu's Description Generator, you don't need to worry about writing from scratch. The tool helps you create clear, professional, and optimized content in just a few clicks. Here's how it works.

How to Get Started

Follow these steps to generate your property description:

  1. Log in to the Holidu Homes website or app and access your property.
  2. In the left sidebar, under Configuration, click on Description. Note: This option will only appear once you've completed the Amenities section.
  3. Ensure that the Amenities section is complete and accurate. The Description Generator uses this information to build your text, so it's essential that all relevant features and services are selected.
  4. In the Description Generator, you can:
    • Let the tool create a description automatically
    • Select "Provide your own text" to submit your own version. Our system will adapt this input to meet platform requirements.

    • Accept and use the suggested description
    • Regenerate a new version
    • Leave feedback for further refinement

If You Manage a Multi-Unit Property

If you own a property with multiple units, follow this two-step process:

  1. Go to Global configuration > Global description and generate the main text for the entire property.
  2. Then, go to each individual unit via Units > Unit title & description, and generate their respective descriptions one by one.

This approach ensures that guests understand the overall property features while each unit's specific characteristics are clearly highlighted.

Making Edits to the Description

If you'd like to change the generated text:

  1. Click Edit at the bottom right of the description.
  2. Modify the content as needed — you can correct typos, update amenities, or include more specific details.
  3. Choose whether to apply your edits to:
    • Only the current language
    • All translated versions (recommended for important updates like check-in times, pool availability, or parking)

Updating an Existing Description

If your property already has a description and you want to update it:

  1. Go to your property page.
  2. Update the Amenities section with any new or changed services and features.
  3. Navigate to the Description section.
  4. Add or adjust any relevant details in the available fields.
  5. Click Generate to create a new description.
  6. Compare it to the current one and click Use new description if you'd like to replace it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I just use my own text?

Holidu generates descriptions that are fully optimized for visibility, structure, and accuracy across booking platforms. This allows us to:

  • Ensure translations into eight languages
  • Follow the formatting and content guidelines required by distribution channels
  • Enhance the discoverability of your listing

However, you can still submit your own version in the "Provide your own text" section. Our tool will adjust it to meet platform standards.

Can I personalize the description?

Yes. The section Additional essential details for guests lets you include information specific to your property, such as house rules, check-in instructions, pet policies, or tips about the local area. This content is integrated into your final description.

What if the text is incorrect?

You can edit or regenerate the description at any time. Just make sure that the Amenities section is up-to-date, as this is the foundation for the text generation. If you need to make significant changes, consider regenerating the description after updating your amenities, or make manual edits to fine-tune the content.
