How do I update or edit my listing's information?
You can update most of your listing details yourself, directly from your Holidu account on the website or in the Holidu Host app. This guide will walk you through the information you can modify independently to keep your property listing accurate, appealing, and competitive.
Information you can update independently
Pricing
Manage your property's revenue strategy with full control over:
- Nightly and weekend rates
- Minimum stay requirements
- Check-in and check-out day pricing
- Calendar availability
Discounts
Configure discounts to attract guests and encourage longer stays. You can set different discount levels based on booking length or seasonal demand.
General information
Update key details about your property:
- Property details: name, type, surface area, floor level, and rating
- Capacity and rooms: change your property type, guest capacity, rooms, and bed configuration. Your declared guest capacity cannot exceed what your configured beds can sleep (for example, one king-size bed sleeps 2 guests, two bunk beds sleep 4 guests). If your property already exceeds this limit, the General info tab will show "Issue with the capacity" and cannot be published until corrected. Properties already live will remain live. If no beds are configured yet, you will see "Required info" instead of an error. When configuring bedrooms, please consider local regulations, such as requirements for an enclosed room, the presence of a window, and a defined minimum area.
- Legal requirements: licence number and cadastral number
Amenities
Add or update the amenities available at your property, including:
- Wi-Fi and connectivity
- Pool and outdoor facilities
- Bed linens and towels
- Pet access
- Kitchen appliances and equipment
- Additional amenities specific to your property
To mark an amenity as available, it must be offered at all times. You can add a cost where the field allows it; otherwise, the amenity is offered free to guests. For costs that depend on the request, mention them in your property description without the exact amount, as distribution channels do not allow that level of detail.
Additional charges and protection
Add any extra fees you wish to apply, such as:
- Cleaning fee
- Security deposit
- Extra guest fee
- City tax
- Towel charges
Arrival and departure information
Customize your check-in and check-out process:
- Check-in and check-out times: Set the hours when you guarantee someone will be present or a lockbox will be available to welcome guests free of charge
- Advance notice: Set the minimum amount of time guests must book in advance, with options ranging from "Same day by 3 p.m." to "Up to 3 days before" check-in
- Check-in methods: Choose your preferred method for guest arrival
- Check-in details: Update who is responsible for check-in, your check-in method, and arrival instructions. Please notify any guests with existing bookings about these changes
- Check-in contact details: Provide the name, phone number, and email of the person responsible for check-in
Collaborators
Add a collaborator to help you manage your listing by giving them access to your account. This is useful if you have a property manager or team member assisting with daily operations.
Calendar sync (iCal)
If your property is listed on another booking channel, sync your calendars to prevent double bookings. This ensures your availability is accurate across all platforms where your property appears.
Title and description
Your property title and description are crucial for attracting guests. Whenever you update a service or detail at your property, update the description to match. Generate a new description and adjust it to reflect the latest changes. This keeps your listing accurate and appealing to potential guests.
You can edit your description at any time. For step-by-step guidance, see Generating your property description.
Photo management
You can manage your photo gallery yourself, including both your own photos and those taken by Holidu's professional photographers. See How to manage your photos.
Address
You can update your property address if needed. See How to edit your address.
Important considerations
- Changes to descriptions, amenities, and photos are visible to guests after review or immediately, depending on the field
- Some major updates (such as prices or policies) may impact your search ranking or guest experience
- Hosts now have self-service control of property photos, including images from Holidu's professional photography
- Always check the guest-facing preview to confirm the information is accurate before publishing
Best practices for managing your listing
- Keep your calendar, photos, amenities, and contact details up to date to support more bookings and a better guest experience

- Review your pricing, policies, and charges regularly, especially before high and low seasons
- Update your listing whenever significant changes occur at your property, such as new amenities or seasonal closures
- Monitor guest feedback and reviews to identify areas where your listing description may need updating
