Facilities basics

• Users choose their properties frequently by the range of facilities! Most filters on the Holidu page are based on facilities
• To update the facilities, you need to PUSH the entire facilities object. Updates for single fields are not possible, otherwise the data will be overwritten.
• If can cannot identify a matching parameter:type in the list you get from here, you have the option to push the raw facility names from your system without mapping to a Holidu facility type. We kindly ask you to communicate this to your technical account manager, in order for us to initiate the mapping on our end.
• Please always push all bed facilities, as it is very important to the guest to know which bed types and sizes we be available in an apartment

In order to increase the performance and avoid disappointments for the users, it is crucial that you push all available facilities. The average amount of facilities per property on Holidu is 13, we strongly recommend not providing less than that.

Facilities, especially the most important ones like POOL, PETS, WIFI, ... are very important to the customers, so please make sure to provide us all the details when it comes to times they are available, extra charges or other parts that may impact the customer experience.
