You can update most of your listing details yourself, from your Holidu account on the website or in the Holidu Host app. This includes pricing, discounts, property information, capacity and rooms, amenities, additional charges, arrival and departure details, calendar sync, descriptions, photos, and your property address. Some changes are visible to guests right away, while others need a review first.

Information you can update independently

Pricing

  • Seasons and pricing: Set your nightly and weekend prices, minimum stay requirements, check-in and check-out days, and availability.

Discounts

  • Guest discounts: Configure the discounts you want to offer to guests.

General information

  • Property details: Update the property name, type, surface area, floor, and rating.
  • Capacity and rooms: Change your property type, guest capacity, rooms, and bed setup. You make these changes together in this section.
    • Your declared guest capacity cannot exceed what your configured beds can sleep. For example, one king-size bed sleeps 2, and two bunk beds sleep 4.
    • If a property already exceeds this limit, its General info tab shows "Issue with the capacity," and the listing cannot be published until you fix it. Properties that are already live stay live.
    • If no beds are configured yet, you will see "Required info" instead of an error.
    • When you configure bedrooms, check local regulations. These may include requirements for an enclosed room, the presence of a window, and a minimum area.
  • Legal requirements: Update your licence number and cadastral number.

Amenities

  • Add or update the amenities at your property, such as Wi-Fi, a pool, bed linens, towels, pet access, and appliances.
  • An amenity can only be marked as available if it is offered to guests at all times.
  • Where the field allows it, you can add a cost. If not, the amenity is offered free of charge.
  • For costs that depend on the request, mention them in your property description. Do not include the exact amount, because distribution channels do not allow it.

Additional charges and protection

  • Add any extra fees you want to apply, such as a cleaning fee, deposit, extra guest fee, city tax, linen, or towels.

Arrival and departure information

  • Check-in and check-out times: Set the hours when your property is available for check-in and check-out. During these times, someone will be present or a lockbox will be available to welcome guests at no cost.
  • Advance notice: Set the minimum time guests must book before check-in. You can choose anything from same day up to 3 days before check-in.
    • If you choose same day, you also set the latest time guests can book for arrival that day. The default is 15:00. You can set it as late as one hour before your check-in window ends, rounded down to the full hour. For example, if check-in runs until 23:00, bookings can be made until 22:00.
    • To change this, go to Configuration, then Arrival and departure, then Advance notice, then Same day.
    • On Vrbo, same-day bookings always close at 12:00 local time.
  • Check-in methods: Choose how guests will check in.
  • Check-in details: Update who is responsible for check-in, your check-in method, and arrival instructions. If you change these details, notify any guests who already have bookings.
  • Check-in contact details: Add the name, phone number, and email address of the person responsible for check-in.

Collaborators

  • Add a collaborator to help you manage your listing by giving them access to your account.

iCal and calendar sync

  • If your property is listed on another booking channel, sync your calendars to prevent double bookings.

Title and description

  • Whenever you update a service or detail, update your description to match. Generate a new description that reflects the latest changes. This keeps your listing accurate and appealing to guests.
  • You can edit your description at any time. For step-by-step instructions, see Generating your property description.

Photos

  • You can manage your photo gallery yourself. This includes photos you uploaded and photos taken by Holidu's professional photographers. For instructions, see How to manage your photos.

Address

  • You can update your property address if it changes or was entered incorrectly. For instructions, see How to edit your address.

Important considerations

  • Changes to descriptions, amenities, and photos become visible to guests either after review or immediately, depending on the field.
  • Major updates, such as prices or policies, may affect your search ranking or the guest experience.
  • Always check the guest-facing preview to confirm that your information is accurate.

Best practices

  • Keep your calendar, photos, amenities, and contact details up to date. This helps you attract more bookings and gives guests a better experience.
  • Write detailed, accurate property and room descriptions so guests know what to expect.
  • Review your pricing, policies, and charges regularly, especially before high and low seasons.
