How do I update or edit my listing's information?
You can update most of your listing details yourself, directly from your Holidu account on the website or in the Holidu Host app. This guide explains what information you can modify independently to keep your listing accurate and attractive to potential guests.
Information you can edit independently
Pricing
Manage all aspects of your pricing strategy to maximize your earnings:
- Seasons and pricing: Set your nightly and weekend prices, including minimum stay requirements, check-in and check-out day preferences, and availability calendar.
- Guest discounts: Create discount offers to encourage longer stays or early bookings.
- Additional charges: Update cleaning fees, tourism fees, security deposits, and extra guest charges per night.
General information
Update key details about your property:
- Property details: Change your property type and the number of guests it can accommodate, in line with your local licensing requirements.
- 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. You can choose from options ranging from "Same day by 3 p.m." to "Up to 3 days before" check-in.
Amenities
Add or update the amenities at your property to highlight what you offer. Available amenities include Wi-Fi, pool, bed linens, towels, pet access, appliances, and more. To mark an amenity as available, it must be offered at all times. You can add a cost 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 exact amounts, as distribution channels do not allow pricing details in amenity fields.
Sleeping arrangements
Bedrooms: Modify the number of bedrooms and beds available at your property. When configuring bedrooms, please consider local regulations, such as requirements for an enclosed room, the presence of a window, and a defined minimum area.
Arrival information
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. Changes apply only to future bookings, not to reservations that have already been made. This allows you to adapt your policy based on market conditions or seasonal changes.
Collaborators
Add a collaborator to help you manage your listing by giving them access to your account. This is useful if you have a property manager or assistant handling day-to-day operations.
Calendar synchronization
If your property is listed on another booking channel, sync your calendars to prevent double bookings. This ensures your availability is accurate across all platforms where you list your property.
Contact information
Update your contact details as needed. If you change your contact information and it matches the person handling check-in, also update the "Guest arrival information" section. Let any guests with existing bookings know about the change to ensure they can reach you if needed.
Description
Whenever you update a service or detail, update your property description to match. Generate a new description and adjust it to reflect the latest changes—this keeps your listing accurate and appealing to guests. You can edit your description at any time. For step-by-step guidance, see Generating your property description.
Photo management
You can manage your photo gallery yourself, including both your own photos and those taken by Holidu's professional photographers. See How to manage your photos.
Address
You can update your property address if needed. Whether you have relocated or need to correct your listing location, this information can be modified independently. For detailed instructions on how to make this change, see How to edit your address.
Important considerations
- Changes to descriptions, amenities, and photos are visible to guests after review or immediately, depending on the field type.
- Some major updates, such as prices or policies, may impact your search ranking or guest experience.
- Photo management now gives hosts self-service control of their property photos, including images from Holidu's professional photography.
- Always check the guest-facing preview to confirm that your information is accurate and displays correctly.
Best practices for maintaining your listing
- Keep your calendar, photos, amenities, and contact details up to date to support more bookings and deliver a better guest experience.
- Use detailed, accurate property and room descriptions to set the right expectations for incoming guests.
- Review your pricing, policies, and additional charges regularly, especially before high and low seasons.
- Test your listing preview to ensure all information appears correctly to potential guests.
Holidu's pricing recommendations and product features are built on local market knowledge—but you stay in control of your prices, your calendar, and the details that make your listing unique. Regular updates help ensure your listing remains competitive and attractive on the Holidu platform.
