How do I update or edit my listing's information?

As a host on Holidu, you have the ability to update and edit most of your listing details independently through your Holidu account on the website or in the Holidu Host app. This guide explains which information you can modify and best practices for keeping your listing current and attractive to guests.

Pricing information you can update

Managing your pricing is one of the most important aspects of your listing. You can independently adjust:

• Seasons and pricing: Set your nightly rates and weekend prices, including minimum stay requirements, check-in and check-out day preferences, and availability calendar.
• Guest discounts: Create and manage discount offers to attract more bookings during slower periods.
• Additional charges: Update cleaning fees, tourism fees, security deposits, and charges for extra guests per night as needed.

General property information you can edit

Keep your property details accurate and up to date with these editable fields:

• Property details: Change your property type and the number of guests it can accommodate, in line with your local regulations and license.
• Check-in and check-out times: Customize your property's check-in and check-out hours. These are the times when you guarantee someone will be present, or a lockbox will be available, to welcome guests free of charge.
• Advance notice: Set the minimum amount of time guests must book in advance. Options range from "Same day by 3 p.m." to "Up to 3 days before" check-in.

Amenities you can add or modify

Update the amenities available at your property to help guests find exactly what they need. You can add or remove amenities including Wi-Fi, pool access, bed linens, towels, pet accommodations, appliances, and more.

When marking an amenity as available, it must be offered at all times during a guest's stay. You can add a cost for certain amenities where the field allows it; otherwise, the amenity is offered free to guests. For costs that depend on individual requests, mention them in your property description without stating exact amounts, as distribution channels do not permit this.

Sleeping arrangements and bedrooms

You can modify the number of bedrooms and beds available at your property. When configuring bedrooms, please consider local regulations regarding requirements for enclosed rooms, windows, and minimum area requirements.

Arrival information and check-in details

Update who is responsible for check-in at your property. Please notify any guests with existing bookings about these changes to ensure a smooth arrival experience.

Cancellation policies

You can adjust your cancellation policy for new bookings at any time. Important note: Changes apply only to future bookings, not to bookings that have already been made.

Adding collaborators to manage your listing

Add a collaborator to help you manage your listing by giving them access to your Holidu account. This is useful if you have a property manager or assistant helping with day-to-day operations.

Calendar synchronization with other booking channels

If your property is listed on another booking channel, you can sync your calendars through iCal to prevent double bookings and keep all platforms up to date with your availability.

Contact information updates

You can update your contact details at any time. If you change your contact information and the person listed handles check-in, you must also update the "Guest arrival information" section. Always let any guests with existing bookings know about contact changes to avoid confusion.

Updating your property description

Whenever you update a service or detail at your property, update your description to match. You can generate a new description and adjust it to reflect the latest changes. This keeps your listing accurate and appealing to potential guests. For step-by-step guidance, see Generating your property description.

Managing your property photos

You have self-service control of your property photo gallery, including both your own photos and those taken by Holidu's professional photographers. You can upload, delete, reorder, and manage all images in your gallery. For detailed instructions, see How to manage your photos.

Editing your property address

You can update your property address if needed. Whether you have moved or need to correct an address detail, follow the steps in How to edit your address.

Important considerations when updating your listing

• Changes to descriptions, amenities, and photos are visible to guests after review or immediately, depending on the specific field.
• Some major updates such as prices or policies may impact your search ranking or overall guest experience.
• You now have complete self-service control of your property photos, including images from Holidu's professional photography service.
• Always check the guest-facing preview to confirm all information is accurate before publishing changes.

Best practices for maintaining your listing

To maximize bookings and provide an excellent guest experience, follow these recommendations:

• Keep your calendar, photos, amenities, and contact details up to date.
• Use detailed and accurate property and room descriptions to set the right expectations for guests.
• Review your pricing, policies, and charges regularly, especially before high and low seasons.
• Update your listing whenever you add new amenities or make improvements to your property.

At Holidu, we build local market knowledge into our pricing recommendations and tools, but you stay in complete control of your prices, your calendar, and all the details that make your listing unique.
