What a good holiday rental website needs
Guests usually reach your website from Booking.com or Google, on a phone, with one question: is it available, and how much is it? If they can't find the answer in a few seconds, they'll go back to the platform.
- Speed on mobile. The site has to open instantly, even on a weak signal at the beach. Photos are in a modern format, and video loads only once it's on screen.
- Booking on the first screen. The calendar and a "from" price are visible without scrolling.
- Rules next to the calendar. Children's prices, tourist tax, minimum stay and pets are shown next to the dates, so guests don't have to ask.
- A reason to book direct. A short strip under the headline: the best price without commission, direct contact with the host, a web-only offer.
- WhatsApp and phone. Always visible, because many guests send a message first.
- Photos and short videos. The pool, the sea and the view from the room, without waiting for them to load.
- Location with distances. How far it is to the beach, the shop, restaurants and the airport.
- Reviews with a source. A rating and a few guest reviews, with a note on where they come from.
- Your guests' languages. Most often English, German and Croatian, and Italian or Slovenian where needed.
