Get to know Google Vacation Rentals

A gateway to direct bookings at no extra cost

Unlike standard OTAs, Google Vacation Rentals facilitates direct bookings by orienting customers toward your company page, meaning you’ll easily bypass the pitfalls of third party bookings. Plus, it’s completely free, with no charges for direct transactions. On top of that, when guests book direct, you’ll get the chance to collect their contact information.

Control over your properties and policies

Google’s new feature has introduced a wide variety of filters that mean you can list precisely what you’ve got to offer—and users can find what they’re looking for. In addition, there are very few restrictions around cancellation policy: you can opt to provide a type (moderate, strict, etc.), a free-text explanation, or not to include it at all. Put simply, what you list is up to you.

Wide distribution

With Google’s extensive search capabilities and reach, your accommodation will be prominently displayed to travelers worldwide who are actively searching for their next booking. And we know that everyone searches on Google, right?

FAQs

About Google Vacation Rentals

Google Maps/Google My Business does not list individual vacation rental information. If you own multiple properties/vacation rentals under your property management company, the individual property locations are not eligible to show via Google My Business or Google map results.

About Hostfully's Property Management Platform

Hostfully products give property managers the tools they need to automate their business, earn more money, and deliver a 5-star guest experience.


The Property Management Platform lets you automate and simplify the complex management tasks of running a vacation rental. With award-winning and industry-leading features such as a channel manager, central calendar, unified inbox, triggers and templates for automated communication, payment processing, analytics & reporting, smart home management, and more, you can run your business with less effort and more success.

Hostfully provides premium channel distribution to over 17 booking platforms and OTAs. We are one of the few companies in the world to hold Preferred Partner Status with the top three booking platforms for vacation rentals: Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. We connect with other listing sites and OTAs through direct API (we don’t rely on a separate manager to sync). This makes Hostfully one of the most stable channel management providers in the industry.

Hostfully’s unique pipeline view gives managers a birds eye view of the business. Easily track incoming leads, unpaid deposits, upcoming check-ins and check-outs, and operations. From the same screen, assign tasks to team members with just a few clicks.

Hostfully offers the most flexibility to use third-party vacation rental software. We have direct integrations with the industry’s leading software providers, giving you the option to pick and choose software that’s right for you. Each business is unique, and so should the software used to run it.

Hostfully invests in and provides world-class customer service. Our 1:1 onboarding sessions limit downtime or disruptions to your operations. Afterwards, we have regular check-ins with our Customer Success Team. And if you’re ever stuck, we offer 200+ help articles and chat or email access to our 24/7 in-house Customer Support Team.

Every new customer of our Property Management Platform receives step-by-step instructions and a dedicated Onboarding Specialist to support you for your first 45 days. After you complete an initial assignment to get you started and attend a group call, your Onboarding Specialist will set up the first of your 1:1 one-hour personalized calls.* During your onboarding, Hostfully will help you set up your properties, configure listing sites and OTAs, show you how to automate processes with templates and triggers, and get started with pricing.

Please note that the set up time to import and list properties on listing sites varies. Some take under 24 hours, while others take up to two weeks or longer. This is outside any software company’s control. However, due to Hostfully’s preferred partner status with Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, we can track your status progress and get faster access if an unforeseen problem happens.

After your 1:1 calls, additional onboarding services can be purchased for $150 per hour.

*All plans include at least 2 x 1:1 calls. See plans for details.
