Validation
A complete listing attracts endless stays!
Validation basics
- In order to put an apartment available for booking, it must be validated by Holidu, by having a complete data, such as description, facilities, bookable dates, photos and many more.
- To ensure that your apartment is available for booking, you can call the
validationendpoint, and the API will return you a list of actions you need to take.
At Holidu, we prioritize the quality of the listings on our platform. To ensure that guests have a seamless and enjoyable experience, we actively validate each apartment to make sure all information, such as availability for booking, is up-to-date and complete.
If for any reason, your apartment becomes inactive, it may be due to missing some of the important information. You can know for sure the reason, by calling the validation API.
