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

Managing your listing on Holidu is straightforward. You can update most of your property details independently, directly from your Holidu account on the website or through the Holidu Host app. This guide explains what information you can edit and how to keep your listing accurate and appealing to guests.

Information you can update independently

Pricing

Take full control of your property's pricing strategy by updating your nightly and weekend rates whenever you need. You can also set minimum stay requirements, adjust check-in and check-out days, and manage your availability calendar to match your preferences and local demand.

Discounts

Create and configure discount offers to attract more guests. Whether you want to offer early-booking discounts, long-stay reductions, or seasonal promotions, you can manage all your discount settings from your account.

General information

Keep your property details current by updating the following:

  • Property details: property name, type, surface area, floor level, and rating
  • Capacity and rooms: guest capacity, number of rooms, and bed configuration. Keep in mind that your declared guest capacity cannot exceed the total sleeping capacity of your configured beds (for example, one king-size bed sleeps 2 guests, while two bunk beds sleep 4). If your property currently exceeds this limit, you'll see an "Issue with the capacity" message and cannot publish your listing until it's corrected. Properties already live will remain live. If you haven't configured beds yet, you'll see a "Required info" notice. When setting up bedrooms, consider local regulations regarding enclosed rooms, windows, and minimum room sizes.
  • Legal requirements: licence number and cadastral number

Amenities

Update the amenities available at your property to help guests understand what to expect. You can add or remove amenities such as Wi-Fi, pool access, bed linens, towels, pet-friendly policies, and kitchen appliances. When marking an amenity as available, it must be offered at all times to guests. You can add a cost for certain amenities where the field allows it; otherwise, the amenity is offered free. For costs that vary depending on guest requests, mention them in your property description without specifying an exact amount, as distribution channels have restrictions on pricing details.

Additional charges and protection

Add or update any extra fees you want to apply to bookings, including:

  • Cleaning fee
  • Security deposit
  • Extra guest fee
  • City tax
  • Linen fees
  • Towel fees

Arrival and departure information

Customize your check-in and check-out experience by updating the following details:

  • Check-in and check-out times: set the hours when you or a representative will be available to welcome guests, or when a lockbox will be accessible. These times represent when guests can check in or check out free of charge.
  • Advance notice: specify the minimum amount of time guests must book in advance. Choose from options ranging from "Same day by 3 p.m." to "Up to 3 days before" check-in.
  • Check-in methods: select how guests will access your property
  • Check-in details: update who is responsible for check-in, your preferred check-in method, and arrival instructions. If you make changes to these details, please notify any guests with existing bookings.
  • Check-in contact details: provide the name, phone number, and email address of the person responsible for check-in

Collaborators

Expand your property management team by adding collaborators to help you manage your listing. Collaborators can be given access to specific aspects of your account to assist with day-to-day operations.

Calendar synchronization

If your property is listed on other booking channels, sync your calendars with Holidu to prevent double bookings and keep your availability accurate across all platforms.

Title and description

Whenever you update a service or detail at your property, update your description to match. Generate a new description and adjust it to reflect the latest changes. This keeps your listing accurate and helps attract the right guests. You can edit your description at any time. For step-by-step guidance, visit Generating your property description.

Photo management

Manage your photo gallery yourself, including both your own photos and those taken by Holidu's professional photographers. You have full control over which images appear on your listing. For detailed instructions, see How to manage your photos.

Address

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

Important considerations

  • Changes to descriptions, amenities, and photos are typically visible to guests after review or immediately, depending on the specific field you're updating.
  • Some major updates, such as changes to prices or policies, may impact your search ranking or the overall guest experience.
  • Photo management now gives hosts complete self-service control over property photos, including images from Holidu's professional photography service.
  • Always check the guest-facing preview to confirm that all information is accurate and displays correctly.

Best practices for maintaining your listing

  • Keep your calendar, photos, amenities, and contact details up to date to support more bookings and provide a better guest experience.
  • Use detailed and accurate property and room descriptions to set the right expectations and help guests decide if your property is right for them.
  • Review your pricing, policies, and charges regularly, especially before high and low seasons, to remain competitive and profitable.
  • Respond promptly to any changes in local regulations that might affect your listing information.

Holidu's pricing recommendations and product features are built on local market knowledge, but you stay in control of your prices, your calendar, and the details that make your listing unique. By keeping your listing information current and accurate, you'll attract more qualified guests and achieve better booking rates.
