Usually, the activation takes place on the day on which we received your payment of the annual amount. In the following cases, there may be exceptions:

1. We received your payment late in the evening. In this case, we will activate your listing the next day.

Your accommodation will be visible in the search as soon as our system has updated all of the data. This may take up to 1 day.

We recommend that you describe the location and room descriptions in detail (at least 75 words). Explain local sights, gastronomy or leisure opportunities in your description of the location.

In the room description, you should describe each room as detailed as possible. Important information for guests is e.g. the bed dimensions and where to find different beds in the accommodation. If you have special features such as a pool or sauna, please mention them in the "Special features" text box.

The address of your accommodation can be changed only by an employee of Travanto. Therefore, please send us a message with the object number as well as the new address. We will then check the new address.

Last minute deals are a great way to negotiate a short-term rental, close any empty gaps in the calendar or to attract guests, during otherwise weak bookings months, with great deals. Last minute deals can only be set four weeks before the offered travel period. This ensures that it really is a last minute property rental offer. Another requirement is a discount of at least 10%.

Setting up a last-minute offer is a four step process that you can do in your Owner Login area:

1. If you have more than one property, you can select the individual properties in the first step. You will be asked to provide details of the duration of the offer including dates, and then the number of persons permitted. Caution: When you see "time period", this is the period during which the tenant should be able to rent your holiday accommodation. Do not confuse these dates with the display period, ie- the period in which your offer will appear on the page on our site.

2. In the second step, you specify the rental price for your last minute deal. The discount cannot be less than 10%. Furthermore, you can decide whether you want to rent your property for the entire display period for last minute price or whether to allow also several smaller bookings during the period.

3. In the third step, you decide upon the period in which your offer appears on our site. Your offer will then appear on the home page as well as the images and weather page.

4. In the last step, you should check your information again, before submitting your Last Minute Deal offer. The exact cost will be displayed in front of the binding booking listing.

You can choose between the Direct Enquiry, Enquiry Booking and the Online Booking systems.

With the booking request option, the prospective tenant will make a direct booking request to you via phone or email, via your property listing. After receiving the request, you can decide whether you want to rent your property to the interested parties. you communicate and negotiate the terms of payment directly with the prospective guest.

With the Direct Enquiry booking system, you will receive an E-Mail or text message if a potential tenant is interested in renting out your property. If you confirm the enquiry within 24 hours, the booking is made contractually-binding for both parties and confirmation will be received by E-Mail. The booking process is then facilitates for you. If you are busy, and fail to reply to the booking within the 24-hour timeframe, you will have another 24 hours to confirm the booking. In this second period, the booking is only created if the potential tenant confirms that they still want to reside in the holiday property. If you fail to respond or wish to decline the booking, there is no cost charged. We do, however, request a brief rationale so that we can mark on your online availability calendar that the period is unavailable and you will not receive any further requests for that period of time.

With the online booking option, your accommodation can be booked directly online though your property listing. Guests are free to study your availability calendar, and can book your property immediately without having to send a request toyou. Bookings made in this way are binding. When a guest has booked the property successfully, you will receive an email with all the important dates and details. The booking is binding for tenants and landlords.

We must distinguish between the Enquiry Booking and Online Booking.

With Enquiry Booking, we charge an annual fee for every property listing which you have to pay in advance. For exact prices, please refer to our pricing table.

With our Online Booking option, there are no monthly fixed costs. Instead, we take a small rate of commission, only when the property is booked: For each online booking, we will charge 12% on the online booking revenue (including additional costs plus the applicable VAT). You will only pay when you generate revenue yourself.

Online booking enables your property to be booked online on Travanto.com without the prospective tenant having to send a request before. When your property is booked online it is binding for both the tenant and the landlord, and you will shortly after receive a confirmation email with all the important travel information.

Online booking has the following advantages:

- Online booking is built on a commission model. This means that you have no monthly payments but instead you only pay when you receive a booking.

- The bookings are binding.

- Due to direct and binding bookings, you will not spend time answering request.

- You will have no risk of losing tenants to competitors during the request-answer-process.

- Travanto takes over the entire booking process.

To avoid double bookings and keep your availability updated at all times, you can use our free calendar software interface. In this way bookings will automatically be entered in all calendars connected to the central software system. If you have any questions or are interested in using the software please contact us by telephone (+44 (0)33 333 61 029) or by email (schnittstelle@travanto.de).

Enquiry Booking enables the prospective tenant to make an enquiry by either telephone or by using the contact form. Both contact options can be found in your listing under “Contact landlord”. All further communication will be exclusively between you and the tenant.

Enquiry Booking has the following advantages:

- Unlike the Online Booking, which is built on a commission model, you will pay a fixed annual fee. Therefore, the costs are always the same and can be easily planned.

- The more holiday properties you advertise the cheaper it will get per listing.

- You decide yourself to whom you let your property.
