How do I update or edit my listing's information?

As a Holidu host, you have the flexibility to update most of your listing details independently, directly from your account on the Holidu website or through the Holidu Host app. This guide walks you through the information you can modify and best practices for keeping your listing accurate and appealing to guests.

Pricing information you can update

You have full control over your property's pricing structure. Update these details anytime to reflect market conditions, seasons, or your availability:

• Seasons and pricing: Set your nightly and weekend rates, including minimum stay requirements, preferred check-in and check-out days, and seasonal availability adjustments.
• Guest discounts: Create discount offers to attract bookings for longer stays or specific periods.
• Additional charges: Manage cleaning fees, tourism taxes, security deposits, and per-guest charges for extra visitors.

General property information you can update

Keep your core property details current to ensure guests know exactly what to expect:

• Property type and guest capacity: Update your property classification and maximum number of guests, ensuring compliance with local regulations and licensing requirements.
• Check-in and check-out times: Customize your property's check-in and check-out hours. These times indicate when you or a designated representative will be available, or when lockbox access will be provided, to welcome guests at no extra charge.
• Advance booking notice: Set how far in advance guests must book, with options ranging from same-day bookings (by 3 p.m.) to up to 3 days before check-in.

Amenities you can update

Update your amenity list regularly to reflect what your property offers. Available amenities include Wi-Fi, pools, bed linens, towels, pet policies, kitchen appliances, and more. Keep in mind:

• Amenities marked as available must be offered at all times during guest stays.
• You can add costs for certain amenities where the system allows.
• For amenities with variable costs depending on guest requests, mention them in your property description without specifying exact prices, as distribution channels have restrictions on pricing details.

Sleeping arrangements you can update

Bedrooms and beds: You can modify the number of bedrooms and beds available at your property. When configuring sleeping arrangements, ensure compliance with local regulations, such as requirements for enclosed rooms, windows, and minimum room sizes.

Arrival and check-in details you can update

Check-in responsibility: Update who will be responsible for checking guests in—whether that's you, a property manager, or another authorized person. Important: notify any guests with existing bookings about these changes well in advance.

Cancellation policies you can update

You can adjust your cancellation policy for new bookings at any time. Note that policy changes apply only to future reservations, not to bookings already confirmed.

Collaborators you can add

Need help managing your listing? Add a collaborator to your account and grant them access to assist with day-to-day management tasks.

Calendar synchronization you can update

If your property is listed on other booking platforms, sync your calendars through iCal integration. This prevents double bookings and ensures your availability is accurate across all channels.

Contact information you can update

Update your contact details whenever necessary. If the contact person changes and they also handle guest check-ins, make sure to update the "Guest arrival information" section as well. Always notify guests with existing bookings about contact information changes.

Property description you can update

Whenever you update a service, amenity, or property detail, refresh your description to match. You can generate a new description and customize it to reflect your latest changes. A current, accurate description keeps your listing appealing and sets the right expectations for guests. For step-by-step guidance, see Generating your property description.

Photos you can update

You have full control over your photo gallery, including both photos you've uploaded and professional images taken by Holidu's photography team. Manage, add, remove, or reorder photos anytime to showcase your property in the best light. For detailed instructions, see How to manage your photos.

Address you can update

You can update your property address if needed. For step-by-step instructions, see How to edit your address.

Important considerations when updating your listing

• Changes to descriptions, amenities, and photos typically become visible to guests after a brief review period or immediately, depending on the field type.
• Major updates—such as pricing adjustments or policy changes—may impact your search ranking and guest experience, so plan these strategically.
• Self-service photo management gives you flexibility and control over your property's visual presentation.
• Always preview how your listing appears to guests after making updates to confirm accuracy and presentation.

Best practices for updating your listing

To maximize bookings and deliver an excellent guest experience, follow these recommendations:

• Keep your calendar, photos, amenities, and contact information current at all times.
• Write detailed, accurate descriptions for your property and individual rooms to set appropriate expectations.
• Review your pricing, policies, and additional charges regularly, especially before peak and low seasons.
• Use Holidu's pricing insights and recommendations as a guide, while maintaining control over your rates and listing details.
• Update amenities promptly if you add new features or services to your property.

By keeping your listing information accurate and up to date, you create a trustworthy presence on Holidu, increase your visibility to potential guests, and set the foundation for positive booking experiences.
