Can I change the property name or ownership information in my property ad?

Learn how to update your property name and ownership details in your Holidu listing and understand what information appears across different booking channels.

Can I change my property name?

Yes, you can change your property name directly in your Holidu listing at any time. Your property name is fully customizable and will appear on your Holidu channel listing.

To update your property name:

1. Log in to your Holidu host account
2. Navigate to your property listing
3. Go to the listing details or basic information section
4. Edit the property name field
5. Save your changes

Your updated property name will be live on Holidu immediately. However, keep in mind that changes may take time to sync across our partner channels.

How does ownership information appear across different channels?

Your property is distributed across multiple partner channels, including Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo. For technical and contractual reasons, the host name displayed on these partner channels cannot be customized—Holidu appears as the host on these external listings.

This setup ensures that:

• Guests can book with confidence through trusted partner channels with a recognizable name
• All channel requirements and compliance rules are maintained
• Your property reaches a wider audience while we manage the channel administration

Where does my name appear as the host?

Your name appears as the host in two specific locations:

1. On the Holidu channel

On Holidu's own platform, your name is displayed as the Host, while Holidu is listed as the Manager. This gives guests direct visibility of who owns and manages the property.

2. On your Direct Booking Website

On your Direct Booking Website (also called "My Website"), your name appears in the "Your Host" section at the top of the page. You can personalize this section with a short bio to build trust with potential guests and showcase your hospitality style.

Why can't I customize the host name on partner channels?

Partner channels like Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo have their own host name requirements and contractual agreements with Holidu. These restrictions exist to maintain compliance, ensure consistent branding across the platform, and protect both guests and hosts through verified channels.

By having Holidu listed as the host on these channels, we provide an additional layer of trust and accountability for all bookings made through our partners.

What can I do to personalize my listings?

Even though the host name is fixed on partner channels, you have several ways to personalize your property and connect with guests:

• Create an engaging property description that reflects your property's unique character
• Add a professional photo gallery showcasing your best features
• Customize your host bio on your Direct Booking Website
• Set house rules and welcome messages that reflect your hosting style
