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 year-round, especially during shoulder and low seasons.

Attract more guests with discounts

• First 3 bookings discount — automatically applied to the first 3 bookings of a new property.
• Mobile Discount — attract guests booking from mobile devices.
• Loyalty Discount — 10% discount by default (only available for properties with minimum 3 reviews in both Holidu and Booking.com portals with an average score of 7.5 or higher).
• Early Bird Discount — reward guests who book in advance by setting your preferred lead time.
• Last-Minute Discount — fill availability with short-notice bookings.
• Weekly Discount — reward longer stays of 7 nights or more.
• Discount for your direct booking website — offer guests a discount when they book directly on your website; they pay less, and you keep more.

Smart ways to fill your calendar

• Fill short gaps between reservations — fill calendar gaps with short stays at your chosen price uplift.
• Accept short stays for full-stay pay — allow bookings for fewer nights than your standard minimum while keeping your earnings intact.
• Lower your minimum stay for last-minute dates — automatically reduce minimum stay requirements as check-in dates approach.

How to configure your discounts and flexible stays

Log in to your Holidu Host Account and go to 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. Your local team is also available to advise.

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