Can I change the host name or ownership information shown in my property ad?

Not on partner channels. When your property is published on Holidu, it is also distributed to partner channels such as Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo. For technical and contractual reasons, the host name shown on these channels cannot be customized, so Holidu appears as the host on those ads. You can still control how your name appears on Holidu and on your Direct Booking Website.

Why does Holidu appear as the host?

This setup helps in three ways:

  • Guests can book through trusted partner channels with a recognizable name attached.
  • The connection between Holidu and external channels stays compliant with channel rules.
  • Your property reaches a wider audience, while Holidu manages the channel-side admin for you.

When will my name appear as the host?

There are two cases where your name is shown instead of Holidu's:

  • On the Holidu channel: your name appears as the Host, and Holidu is listed as the Manager.
  • On your Direct Booking Website ("My Website"): your name is visible in the "Your Host" section at the top of the page. You can also add a short bio there to build trust with guests.

How do I personalize my host profile?
