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

Yes, you can update your property name and ownership information in your Holidu listing. However, there are important distinctions about how this information appears across different channels where your property is published.

How property name and host information appears across channels

When your property is published on Holidu, it is automatically distributed across our partner channels such as Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo. Due to technical and contractual reasons, the host name shown on these partner channels cannot be customized. This means Holidu appears as the host on those ads to ensure:

  • 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 we manage the channel-side administration for you

Where your name and property information will appear

Your personal name and custom property information are visible in two specific locations:

1. On the Holidu channel

Your name appears as the Host, while Holidu is listed as the Manager. This allows guests booking directly through Holidu to see your identity and connect with you as the property owner.

2. On your Direct Booking Website

Your name is visible in the "Your Host" section at the top of your property page. You can personalize this section further by adding a short bio to build trust with guests and showcase your hospitality experience. Learn how to create and customize your Direct Booking Website by visiting our detailed guide: How to create and customize your Direct Booking Website.

Why these restrictions exist

The limitation on customizing host information across partner channels protects both you and your guests. Partner platforms have their own verification and trust systems. By having Holidu listed as the host on these channels, we ensure consistent brand recognition and maintain compliance with each platform's requirements, while your direct relationship with guests remains strong on your own Holidu listing and website.

Key takeaway

You have full control over how your property and personal information appear on Holidu's own channel and your Direct Booking Website. For maximum visibility and to build guest trust, we recommend completing your host profile with a compelling bio and high-quality property details on these primary booking channels.
