Turn your holiday home listing into a bookable website in 10 minutes

Yes. You can activate exclusive discounts (5%, 10% or 15%) that only apply to bookings made via your Host Website or widget. This makes direct bookings more attractive for guests and helps you increase your share of repeat bookings. Discounts stack with most other promotions except the “new listing” promotion, and you can turn them on or off anytime in your Holidu account.

Not at all. Your website is created automatically from your Holidu listing, using the photos, details, and prices you've already added. A short setup flow helps you choose layout, colors, and a welcome message. Add an "About" section and upload a header image if you like. The site goes live in minutes and can be updated any time. If you already have a website, you can simply add our booking module instead. Don't worry about making mistakes – you can change everything anytime. Your photos, prices, colors, and text can all be updated in minutes. Nothing is permanent, and if you need help, our local team is just a message away.

Yes. You can connect an existing domain through a clear, step-by-step process in your Holidu account. It involves a few simple settings changes at your domain provider. Need help? Our local team or Help Center can guide you through it. Ownership is verified automatically and we guide you until the connection is complete. If a different site is already attached to your domain, it will be replaced once the records point to your new Host Website. It's a simple way to keep your property's online presence consistent.

Yes. Guests book through an official website backed by Holidu. Payments are processed securely, confirmation emails are sent automatically, and your cancellation and house rules are shown clearly. Guests feel reassured because the booking looks professional, and you avoid the risks of informal bank transfers. If an issue ever arises, Holidu support is available to help both sides. This combination of secure payments, clear communication, and professional presentation makes bookings more trustworthy for everyone.

Your Host Website uses your Holidu account as the central source of truth. When a direct booking is made, your calendar is updated across all connected channels. When availability changes on a channel, your site reflects it. This sync covers 25+ channels including Holidu, Booking.com, Airbnb, Vrbo, FeWo-direkt, and Google Vacation Rentals. The system is designed to prevent double bookings and reduce manual updates. It's a simple way to keep your availability consistent everywhere without spending hours on calendar management.

You can keep it. Simply add the Holidu booking module to your existing site with a small code snippet. Your design and content remain untouched, but you gain secure checkout, calendar sync, and automatic confirmations. Guests book instantly, with no manual confirmation needed. Multi-property search and property pages are also supported. It's the easiest way to turn your current site into a fully functional booking engine without starting from scratch.

Yes. Your website runs on secure hosting with SSL and active monitoring. Payments are processed through a protected checkout, and guest data is encrypted. Updates you make in your Holidu account appear quickly on your live site. Our infrastructure is built for speed, so pages load quickly for guests browsing on mobile or desktop. If your browser shows an older version, simply refresh or open in a different browser to see the latest version instantly.

Your website supports ten languages, including English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Dutch, and Greek. Content from your listing is translated automatically, including interface labels and your custom text. You can set a default language and enable additional ones with a simple toggle. Guests can switch languages at any time, while the booking process stays clear and consistent. This makes it easier to welcome international visitors without having to create multiple versions of your site.

Yes. Choose a layout, color theme, and header image during setup. Add a title, welcome text, and an "About" section with your story and photo. You decide which properties appear on the homepage and in what order. A filter bar for date searches and links to your social media profiles can also be enabled. Design changes can be made at any time, so your site always reflects your brand. It's simple customization without requiring any design or coding skills.

Bookings appear directly in your Holidu dashboard, marked as Holidu direct bookings. You’ll see guest details, payment status, and messages all in one place. We’re working on adding clearer labels to highlight leads and bookings that originated from your Host Website. In the meantime, you can track performance by looking at visits to your website link and the confirmed bookings that follow. Everything is stored in your Holidu account, so you don’t need extra tools.

Your regular guests can still reach you the same way they always have – by phone, WhatsApp, or email. The website simply gives them a faster, clearer way to book when they're ready. They see your calendar, pick their dates, and confirm instantly instead of the usual back-and-forth messages. You can even grant a specific discount for your Host Website. Many hosts find their repeat guests love the convenience while keeping the personal connection. You decide how to handle special arrangements, and you stay in control of your prices and calendar.
