Discounts and short stays help you reach more guests, fill gaps in your calendar, and stay competitive year-round.

Why should I offer discounts and short stays?

Discounts attract guests during low-demand periods without lowering your base price. Short stays appeal to weekenders and short-break travellers, which can lift occupancy in shoulder and low seasons.

Which discounts can I offer?

• 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: a fixed 10% by default for frequent travellers. It is only available for properties with at least 3 reviews on both Holidu and Booking.com, with an average score of 7.5 or higher.
• 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 discount: offers a small discount to guests who book through your own website or the booking module embedded on it.

Early bird and last-minute discounts adjust automatically based on the booking date relative to your settings.

How can short stays fill my calendar?

• Fill short gaps between reservations: accept short stays at a price uplift you set.
• Accept short stays for full-stay pay: allow bookings up to 2 nights below your standard minimum stay (up to 3 nights if your minimum is 6 nights or more), 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.
