This section explains how to request listing on Google Hotels / Google Vacation Rentals via the Booking Engine.

Additional Fees for Listing on Google Hotels / Google Vacation Rentals

Currently, we are accepting listing requests free of charge during the trial period.
Please note that it may take about two weeks to one month to complete the listing process due to possible errors during the registration process.

There may be additional fees applied in the future, but we will inform you at least one month in advance if that happens.

Due to Google specifications, the property name displayed will use the language corresponding to the property’s location (e.g., Japanese for properties located in Japan).

Property names in other languages will be automatically translated, and the translated name will also be applied within the Booking Engine display.

Please note that automatically translated property names cannot be manually edited.

For example, for properties located in Japan, property names in languages other than Japanese will not be editable.

Pre-Request Checks [Checking Existing Listings]

Before making a request, check if your property is already listed. Here’s how to verify:

For Hotels:

If your property is selected on Google Maps and 'Official Site' is displayed under "All options," then it is already listed, and no request is necessary.

For Vacation Rentals:

Display the property's address on Google Maps, select "Hotels" → "Vacation Rentals," and if the property shows up with 'AirHost Booking Engine,' it is already listed, and no request is necessary.

**A vacation rental property can only appear on the Google Travel page, in the Vacation Rentals category.

However, the booking link for this property cannot be shown on Google Maps. This is because to display a booking link or rate on Google Maps, the property must have a "Check availability" button, which is only available for properties in the Hotel category and not for vacation rentals.

Please note that it's up to Google to decide whether a listing appears on Google Hotel or Vacation Rental.

You cannot choose or change to be on Google Hotel or Vacation Rental.

[Consistency of Property Name Meaning Across Languages]

When setting the property name in multiple languages (e.g., Japanese, English), please ensure that the meaning remains consistent across all languages.

If the meanings differ significantly, it may violate Google policies and could result in suspension of the listing.

Also, make sure that the property name is entered in all supported languages before submitting the listing request.
