Can I change the property name or ownership information in my property ad?

Yes, you can update your property name and certain ownership details in your property ad. However, there are important distinctions depending on where your property is listed. This guide explains what you can change and how host information appears across different channels.

How to change your property name

You can modify your property name directly in your listing settings on Holidu. Your property name is a key detail that helps guests find and identify your accommodation, so keeping it accurate and appealing is important.

To update your property name:

1. Log in to your Holidu host account
2. Navigate to your property listing
3. Access the listing settings or edit property details section
4. Update the property name field
5. Save your changes

Understanding host information across different channels

When your property is published on Holidu, it is also distributed across our partner channels, such as Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo. It's important to understand how host information appears on these different platforms.

Host name on partner channels

For technical and contractual reasons, the host name shown on partner channels cannot be customized. Holidu appears as the host on those ads. This setup ensures that:

• Guests can book through trusted partner channels with a recognizable name attached
• The connection between Holidu and external channels remains compliant with channel rules
• Your property reaches a wider audience while Holidu manages the channel-side administration

Where your name does appear as the host

Your personal name appears as the host in two specific situations:

1. On the Holidu channel: Your name appears as the Host, while Holidu is listed as the Manager
2. On your Direct Booking Website: Your name is visible in the "Your Host" section at the top of the page. You can also add a short bio here to build trust with guests

Personalizing your host profile on your Direct Booking Website

If you want to add more information about yourself or customize how you appear to guests, you can personalize your host profile on your Direct Booking Website. This is a great opportunity to build trust and create a personal connection with potential guests.
