How can I update my pricing & seasons?

Managing your property's pricing and seasonal rates is essential for maximizing your rental income on Holidu. This guide will walk you through the process of updating your pricing and setting up different rates for various seasons throughout the year.

Understanding Pricing and Seasons

Pricing and seasons allow you to adjust your nightly rates based on demand and availability. You can set different prices for peak seasons, off-seasons, and special periods to optimize your earnings and manage bookings effectively on Holidu.

2. Navigate to your property settings or pricing section
3. Select the property you wish to update
4. Choose the pricing management option
5. Enter your desired nightly rate
6. Apply the changes by saving your updates

Your new pricing will be reflected on your Holidu listing immediately after you save the changes. This ensures potential guests see your current rates when browsing available properties.

Common Pricing Questions

When do pricing changes take effect? Your pricing updates are applied immediately after you save them on Holidu, affecting all new bookings from that point forward.

Can I set different prices for weekends and weekdays? Seasonal pricing allows you to group rates by defined time periods. You can create separate seasons for weekends if your platform supports this feature.

How far in advance should I set my seasonal pricing? It is recommended to set your seasonal pricing at least two to three months in advance to give potential guests visibility and to allow you time to adjust rates based on booking patterns.

What if I want to offer a special rate for a specific date? You can create a new season for the specific dates you wish to apply special pricing, even if it is just for a few days during holidays or local events.
