Discounts and short stays help you increase visibility, reach more guests, and fill gaps in your calendar. You can set them up in your Holidu Host Account under Configuration → Discounts.

Why offer discounts and short stays?

• Discounts attract guests during low-demand periods or fill calendar gaps without lowering your base price.
• Short stays appeal to weekenders and short-break travellers, helping lift occupancy in shoulder and low seasons.

Which discounts can I offer?

Under Attract more guests with discounts, you can choose from:

• First 3 bookings discount: applied automatically to the first 3 bookings of a new property.
• Mobile discount: attracts guests booking from mobile devices.
• Loyalty discount: only available for properties with a minimum of 3 reviews on both Holidu and Booking.com, with an average score of 7.5 or higher. The discount percentage is 10% by default.
• Early Bird discount: rewards guests who book in advance. You choose the lead time.
• Last-Minute discount: fills availability with short-notice bookings.
• Weekly discount: rewards stays of 7 nights or more.
• Direct booking website discount: offers guests a small discount when they book directly with you, through your own website or the booking module on your site.

Early Bird and Last-Minute discounts adjust automatically based on the booking date relative to your settings.

How can I fill my calendar with short stays?

Under Smart ways to fill your calendar, you can choose from:

• Fill short gaps between reservations: fills calendar gaps with short stays at the price uplift you set.
• Accept short stays for full-stay pay: allows bookings for fewer nights than your standard minimum while keeping your earnings intact.
• Lower your minimum stay for last-minute dates: automatically reduces the minimum stay requirement as the check-in date approaches.

You set the percentages, time windows, and minimums. Holidu's pricing recommendations are based on local market data, so you can match each setting to demand in your area. Your local team is also available to advise you.
