How to list your first listing?

Adding Your Listing to Stayly

This guide will walk you through the different ways you can add your holiday accommodation to Stayly.

There are three ways to create a listing:

1. Import from another website

2. Add your listing manually

3. Bulk upload multiple listings

Option 1: Import From Another Website

If your caravan is already listed on another platform such as Airbnb, Booking.com, or another holiday letting website, you can import your listing using the existing listing URL.

Step 1: Find your listing link

Copy the URL of your existing listing from the platform where it is currently advertised.

Step 2: Start the import

From your Stayly dashboard:

1. Go to Listings

2. Select All Listings

3. Click Quick Add Listing

4. Select Add by Link

Paste your existing listing URL into the box and start the import.

Stayly will automatically collect the available information, including descriptions, details, and images.

Step 3: Review your imported information

Once the import is complete, carefully check all details.

Although our system is designed to make this process easier, automated imports can occasionally make mistakes. Please check:

• Listing name

• Description

• Guest numbers

• Bedrooms and beds

• Amenities

• Location

• Pricing

• Images

Images

Select the images you want to import.

Important: Some platforms add watermarks to images. Please do not use images containing another platform's watermark. Replace these with your own original photos.

Step 4: Complete your listing setup

After importing, you will be taken through our onboarding process.

Complete any missing information and make sure your location is correct.

For the location:

• Search for your town or holiday park

• Select the closest location

• Adjust the map pin so it accurately shows where your accommodation is located

Once complete, submit your listing for review.

Our system will check your listing for any missing information or potential issues before publishing it live.

Option 2: Add a New Listing Manually

If this is your first time listing on Stayly, or you prefer to create your listing from scratch, you can add it manually.

Select Add Manually and complete each section.

1. Property Details

Property Type

This will automatically be set as Static Caravan.

Listing Name

Choose a unique name that helps guests understand your accommodation.

A good format is:

Property name + feature + location

Example:

Lake View Plot 992 - Family Caravan at Coastal Parks Skegness

Avoid generic names such as:

My Caravan

A memorable listing name helps your property stand out.

2. Holiday Park Details

If your holiday park is already listed on Stayly, search for and select it.

If your park is not currently available, you can add it manually.

You will need:

• Holiday park name

• Park office email address

You can leave this blank, but your listing will not show as a verified park listing.

3. Basic Information

Short Description

Keep this brief and clear.

Example:

Spacious 8 berth caravan, perfect for family holidays near the coast.

Full Description

Use this section to sell your accommodation.

Include:

4. Location

Start typing your town or holiday destination and select the closest option.

Then move the map pin to the exact location of your holiday home.

Amenities help guests filter their search and understand what your accommodation offers.

Examples:

The more complete your listing is, the easier it is for guests to find.

We recommend:

• At least 5 high-quality photos

Good photography significantly improves booking conversion.

Try to include:

• Exterior photos

This is your normal base price.

You can add seasonal pricing later, including different rates for:

Additional settings include:

Cleaning Fee

Add this if you charge guests for cleaning after their stay.

You can also configure:

• Check-in times

These settings help automate your booking management.

8. Policies

Stayly provides templates you can use, or you can add your own policies.

We recommend having at least:

• Booking Terms

• Cancellation Policy

Adding complete policies helps protect both you and your guests.

We recommend completing all available policy sections where possible.

9. Review Your Listing

Option 3: Bulk Upload Listings

Already managing multiple properties on another platform?

If you can export your listings as a CSV file, you can import them into Stayly.

Simply:

1. Export your listings from your current platform

This is ideal for owners or businesses managing multiple caravans.
