Boost Your Bookings with Discounts and Short Stays

Why offer discounts and short stays?

Discounts help you attract guests during low-demand periods and fill calendar gaps without reducing your base price. Short stays appeal to weekenders and short-break travelers, lifting occupancy especially in shoulder and low seasons.

Attract more guests with discounts

• First 3 bookings discount — automatically applied to your first 3 bookings as a new property
• Mobile Discount — attracts guests booking from mobile devices
• Loyalty Discount — a fixed 10% discount for frequent travelers (only available for properties with minimum 3 reviews on both Holidu and Booking.com with an average score of 7.5 or higher)
• Early Bird Discount — rewards guests who book in advance with a discount you set
• Last-Minute Discount — fills availability with short-notice bookings
• Weekly Discount — rewards longer stays of 7 nights or more
• Discount for direct bookings — offer guests a discount when they book directly through your website or embedded booking module, while keeping more earnings

Smart ways to fill your calendar

• Fill short gaps between reservations — fills calendar gaps with short stays at your chosen price uplift
• Accept short stays for full-stay pay — allows bookings for fewer nights than your standard minimum while keeping earnings intact
• Lower your minimum stay for last-minute dates — automatically reduces minimum stay requirements as check-in approaches

How to configure discounts and flexible stays

Log in to your Holidu Host Account and go to Configuration → Discounts. Select Configure, adjust your parameters according to your property's needs, and click Activate to save your changes. You set the percentages, windows, and minimums based on local market data and your property's demand patterns.

By combining the right discounts with flexible stay options, you make your property more competitive year-round and reach a wider range of guests.
