Boost Your Bookings with Discounts and Short Stays

Why offer discounts and short stays?

Discounts and flexible stay options are practical ways to increase visibility, reach more guests, and fill calendar gaps without reducing your base price. Short stays appeal to short-break travelers and weekenders, helping lift occupancy during 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 — attract guests booking from mobile devices
• Loyalty Discount — 10% discount available for properties with a minimum of 3 reviews on both Holidu and Booking.com with an average score of 7.5 or higher
• Early Bird Discount — reward guests who book in advance by setting your preferred lead time
• Last-Minute Discount — fill availability with short-notice bookings
• Weekly Discount — encourage longer stays of 7 nights or more
• Direct Booking Discount — offer guests a small discount when they book directly through your website, keeping more of your earnings

Smart ways to fill your calendar

• Fill short gaps between reservations — accept short stays at your chosen price uplift to maximize occupancy
• Accept short stays for full-stay pay — allow bookings for fewer nights than your standard minimum while keeping your earnings intact
• Lower your minimum stay for last-minute dates — automatically reduce minimum stay requirements as check-in approaches

How to configure your discounts and flexible stays

Access your discount settings in your Holidu Host dashboard under 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. Holidu's pricing recommendations are based on local market data to help you match each setting to demand in your area.

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