Distribution Channel: HomeToGo – How Does It Work?

What is HomeToGo?

HomeToGo is a leading global vacation rental platform operating in over 25 countries across Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Asia-Pacific. It connects millions of travellers with holiday homes and vacation rentals worldwide. By listing your property on HomeToGo through Holidu, you gain access to a vast audience of international guests searching for their ideal holiday accommodation.

How HomeToGo Integration Works with Holidu

When your property is listed on Holidu, it automatically becomes available on HomeToGo and its partner sites at no additional effort required from you. This seamless integration expands your property's visibility to a global audience without requiring separate management.

Key Features of the Integration:

• Centralized Payment Processing: Holidu manages all guest payments, booking confirmations, modifications, and cancellations for HomeToGo bookings through your main account.
• Unified Payouts and Invoicing: Payouts and invoices for HomeToGo bookings are processed through Holidu, maintaining consistency with your other distribution channels.
• Consistent Cancellation Policies: Your listing follows the main cancellation policy you set in Holidu. Changes automatically apply across all distribution channels, except Booking.com and Airbnb, where you can set specific policies tailored to each platform.

Handling Cancellations on HomeToGo

Cancellations for HomeToGo bookings follow the same booking cancellation process as any other Holidu booking. You manage cancellations directly through your Holidu dashboard, ensuring a streamlined experience.

How to Find Your Property on HomeToGo

To verify that your listing appears correctly on HomeToGo:

1. Visit the HomeToGo website
2. Enter your property's city name in the search bar
3. Navigate to your property's location on the interactive map
4. Ensure you are searching for available booking dates to see your listing displayed

Can I Opt Out of HomeToGo?

While we recommend keeping HomeToGo active to maximize your property's reach and attract more travellers with no additional effort on your part, you have the option to deactivate the channel if you prefer not to list on HomeToGo and its partner sites.

To deactivate HomeToGo, simply access your distribution channel settings in your Holidu account and disable the HomeToGo channel. However, by staying active on HomeToGo, your property reaches more potential guests searching for holiday rentals in your region, which can lead to increased bookings and improved occupancy rates.
