Your Direct Booking Website lets you accept direct bookings under your own brand, with calendar sync, secure payments, and guest data managed from your Holidu account. This guide walks you through creating your website in the setup wizard and customizing its homepage, properties, host section, and design.

How do I access my Direct Booking Website setup?

You can reach your Direct Booking Website setup from two places in your Holidu Host account, and both lead to the same configuration. Only primary account holders can access it, not secondary collaborators.

• Go to Direct Bookings, then select My website & widget in the left-hand navigation menu.
• Or go to Properties, select your property, open Distribution Channels, and click My booking website. Then click Activate channel if the channel is not yet active, or My booking website configuration if it already is.

Step-by-Step: Creating Your Booking Website

Follow these steps to create and publish your Holidu-hosted direct booking website. The setup wizard appears the first time you open the Direct Booking Website section.

1. Activate your Direct Booking Website channel. Log in to your Holidu Host account, select Configuration in the left menu, scroll down to Distribution Channels, and find My Booking Website. Click Activate channel and follow the onboarding prompts. Review and accept the terms and conditions.

   

2. Select your website languages. Choose up to 8 supported languages for your website. Then set your default language, which is the language shown to visitors first.

   

3. Enter your website name and domain address. Type a domain name and a website name. If you already own a domain, the instructions will guide you through connecting it to keep your branding consistent.

   

4. Choose your properties and their order. If you manage more than one property, select which ones to display on your website and arrange them in the order you prefer.

5. Click Finish to publish your website. Your website is now live, and your personalized URL can be copied and shared right away.

   

How is my website address built?

Your website address has two parts: a name you choose and an ending you pick from a list. Most hosts use their property name, for example "myproperty", combined with an ending such as holiduhost.com or a country-specific option. This gives you a link like myproperty.holiduhost.com, which your guests will use to find and book with you.

Choosing an ending that matches your guests' country can make your website feel more familiar and trustworthy. You can update your address at any time under Settings in the Booking Website tool. Keep in mind that the old address stops working once you change it, so update any links you have already shared, such as booking confirmations, welcome guides, and social
