  • Note: Each section expands when you click it, revealing content score metrics.

     

Property Profile Details and Profile Photo:

Adding Property profile details and a profile photo allow you to show off more of your company to prospective guests, as well as give them information about when the property was built and renovated.

Note: 'Does the host live onsite' and 'What is the name of the company' are both required fields

Check-in Methods:

Let guests know how they can check into your property after making a reservation by adding Check-in Methods to your listings! This brings peace of mind to guests and can help improve review scores after a reservation is completed. Let them know if there is a check in desk and where it is, if there a smart lock, and several other options!

You can include a primary and secondary check in option which will show to the guest after booking your property. You can choose between a list provided by Booking.com

Property Profile Hotelier Messages:

Property Profile Hotelier Messages allows your guests to know a bit more about your property and its location as well as interesting facts about your company, by giving detailed hotelier messages.

Adding more languages can expand the amount of international travelers that see your property as well.

Area Info:

Use Area info to inform guests regarding various attractions near your rental-markets, stores, events, restaurants, etc! Think of this as a little guide book your guest can access right after booking.

Note: If you are attempting to put a distance value of “.4” miles, you must list it as “0.4”.

Property Directions:

Give confirmed guests directions and best advice on traveling to your property with Property Directions. Is your property near an airport with a shuttle? Add that info here! Is there a best highway route and exit your guests should take? Let your guest know, as well as how far it is.

Add multiple types of transport as well as the airport code for the closest airport to help them with booking flights.
