You can pause bookings on Holidu without deleting your account or removing your property. The simplest option is to block your calendar for the dates you need. Your property, settings, and reviews stay safe, so you can start accepting bookings again whenever you are ready.

Pause Bookings by Blocking Your Calendar

Blocking your calendar is the most flexible way to stop accepting bookings for specific dates. It works well if you:

  • Are taking a short break
  • Need time for repairs or upgrades
  • Expect to reopen soon
  • Want your property to stay visible and ready for later

Blocked dates prevent guests from booking, while your property stays active on all channels.

Unpublish Your Property

If you do not want your property to appear on Holidu or partner channels for a while, you can unpublish it. This hides your property everywhere, but keeps your details intact so you can republish it at any time. Only the host can unpublish a property.

How to Unpublish a Property

  1. Log in to your Holidu Host account.
  2. Go to Properties and choose the property.
  3. Scroll to Advanced Settings.
  4. Click Unpublish and confirm.

Once unpublished, your property will stop receiving new bookings. Your details, booking history, and settings remain in your account.

What Happens to Your Information

Whether you block your calendar or unpublish your property, you can still:

  • Log in and access your Holidu account
  • Review your booking and payment history
  • View and edit your property details
  • Reactivate your property whenever you choose

Some booking data must be kept for legal and operational reasons, such as invoices, complaints, and upcoming stays. This is why your account stays accessible even when your property is unavailable.

Requesting Permanent Deletion of Your Data

If you are sure you no longer want to use Holidu, you can request permanent deletion of your personal data.

How to request deletion: You need to use the Holidu Assistant.

Important: Once your data is deleted, your account, properties, messages, and booking history cannot be recovered.

If you only want to pause hosting, blocking your calendar is the better choice.

Keep Your Dashboard Organized With Filters

To see only your active properties, use the filter at the top of your property list and select Published properties. This keeps your dashboard easy to navigate, especially if you manage seasonal or temporarily inactive properties.

The filter only changes what you see. It does not affect how your property appears on channels.
