We're excited to expand our range of booking channels at Travelnest. HomeToGo is a leading platform dedicated solely to vacation rentals, providing a focused strategy for connecting with guests who value unique lodging options. At Travelnest, we're always trying to help our customers expand their reach and attract new audiences to increase their chances of getting booked.
Why HomeToGo?
We’ve partnered with HomeToGo as it’s not just a leading platform in the vacation rental industry, but also an easy-to-use solution for budget-conscious travellers. HomeToGo lets users compare prices across numerous websites, focusing exclusively on vacation rentals instead of hotels. As a search engine, HomeToGo brings together vacation rentals from various sources, allowing users to explore multiple property listings at once. Their mission is to make incredible homes easily accessible to everyone.
What are the benefits?
Less competition and more bookings
HomeToGo, with the largest selection of vacation rentals worldwide, serves 50 million users monthly. They offer everything from cabins and houses to villas, making the search and booking process easy. Whether your guests seek a luxury villa or a cosy cabin, HomeToGo helps them easily find a property that suits their budget. Unlike platforms like Booking.com or Expedia, HomeToGo focuses solely on vacation rentals, excluding hotels, hostels, or B&Bs. This exclusivity reduces competition, ensuring your property reaches those interested in renting a full property.
As a property owner, partnering with Travelnest boosts your property's visibility on HomeToGo and over 30 other top booking sites via Travelnest. Plus, you can manage all your listings from a single account
The value of Boomer and Gen X guests on HomeToGo
More than 50% of HomeToGo's customers are Boomers and Gen X which offers significant benefits as a property owner. These demographic groups tend to have more disposable income and often seek longer stays, enhancing the potential for higher revenue. Furthermore, they are known for their respectfulness towards properties, which can lead to fewer problems. They also tend to leave more reviews.
How do I sign up?
Signing up for HomeToGo is easy when you create a free account with Travelnest. Just ensure you tick the HomeToGo box when selecting your channels, and we'll build a listing for you on HomeToGo. If you're an existing customer, you've likely been auto-opted into listing on HomeToGo. If you wish to opt-out, you can adjust your channel selection in your account at any time.
How does it work?
Our listing process is identical to that of our existing booking channel partners. First, you fill in your property details. Then, we handle the creation and publication of your HomeToGo listing, as well as any other channels you opt for. We ensure all your property details are added, including photos, amenities, description, and pricing.
We also maintain a single calendar. This tool keeps track of when your property is available and updates automatically across all the channels you list with Travelnest. This prevents double bookings. Additionally, we manage your booking enquiries and guest payments.
