Boost Your Bookings with Discounts and Short Stays

Why offer discounts and short stays?

Discounts and flexible stay options are practical ways to lift visibility, reach more guests, and fill calendar gaps without reducing your base price. Short stays appeal to short-break travellers and weekenders, helping you increase occupancy during shoulder and low seasons.

How to configure your discounts and flexible stays

Access your discount settings in your Holidu Host dashboard under Configuration → Discounts. You set the percentages, windows, and minimums based on your property's needs. Holidu's pricing recommendations are based on local market data, helping you match each setting to demand in your area.

By combining the right discounts with flexible stay options, you make your property more competitive year-round and reach a wider range of guests.
