Listings

Completing a listing up to publication — photos, description, amenities, base rate and distribution.

A listing is what travellers see. It belongs to a unit, which itself belongs to a property. One unit can carry several listings — one per stay length or per season, say — and a property groups as many units as you need.

What a listing brings together

  • Photos — the cover photo is the first publication prerequisite.
  • Description and amenities — the text guests read and the list of facilities.
  • Pricing — the base rate, the second publication prerequisite.
  • Distribution — the channels the listing is published to.
  • Translations — the listing in the other languages.

The listing page stacks these blocks one under another, each showing what is missing.

Guides in this section

The pages below follow a listing from content to market: first what the guest reads, then what they pay, finally the platforms where they find you.

  • Listing photos and zones — organize the gallery by zone, choose the cover photo, and know what the other surfaces see of your pictures.
  • Description, amenities and listing score — write the four description sections, tick the amenities, and read the score that follows.
  • Translate and distribute the listing — choose the listing's language, follow and correct its translations one language at a time, then add the listing to an already-connected platform from the Distribution card.
  • Set your rates — base rate, weekend, seasons, length-of-stay discounts, fees and taxes: where each price is set, and the rule that decides the price of a night.
  • Publishing a listing in France — the tourist accommodation registration number, the declaration on honor, what blocks publication and what never does, the nights counter and its cap.
  • Stay restrictions — minimum and maximum nights on arrival, arrival and departure not possible, and Booking.com's own advance-notice booking window.
  • Stop sales — close every free night of a period on all platforms and on direct booking, for as long as needed.
  • Dynamic pricing (PriceLabs) — connect your PriceLabs account, enrol a listing, follow the sync, and what the platform has not switched on yet.
  • Connect your distribution channels — Your platforms, Add a platform: Booking.com and Airbnb today, the rest of the catalog on request, and the Booking.com reports on a reservation.
  • Modulate prices per platform — a channel-specific multiplier or surcharge, with a mandatory preview before saving.
