Discounts and short stays help you attract guests during quiet periods, fill gaps in your calendar, and reach more travelers without lowering your base price. Holidu's discount tools are found under Configuration → Discounts in your Host dashboard.
Why offer discounts and short stays?
- Discounts attract guests during low-demand periods and help fill open dates.
- Short stays appeal to weekenders and short-break travelers, which can lift occupancy in shoulder and low seasons.
Which discounts can you offer?
- First 3 bookings discount: applied automatically to the first 3 bookings of a new property.
- Mobile discount: attracts guests booking from mobile devices.
- Loyalty discount (only available for property with minimum 3 reviews in both portal of Holidu and Booking.com with an average score of 7.5 or higher). Discount percentage is 10% by default.
- Early bird discount: rewards guests who book in advance, based on a lead time you choose.
- Last-minute discount: fills availability with short-notice bookings.
- Weekly discount: rewards stays of 7 nights or more.
- Direct booking website discount: lets guests pay less when they book directly through your website or embedded booking module.
Which short stay options can you use?
- Fill short gaps between reservations with short stays at a price uplift you set.
- Accept short stays for full-stay pay, keeping your earnings intact.
- Lower your minimum stay for last-minute dates, which reduces the requirement as check-in approaches.
How do you set up discounts and flexible stays?
You set the percentages, windows, and minimum stays for each option. Holidu's pricing recommendations are based on local market data, so you can match each setting to demand in your area. Your local team is also available to advise you.
