Additional Fees for Listing on Google Hotels / 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.
Note:
Listings on Google Hotels / Vacation Rentals are submitted by automatically linking your property information through the Google API. However, how the information is displayed on Google Maps is entirely controlled by Google, and we are unable to specify or modify the display. Similarly, we cannot process requests to link to an existing Google Business Profile.
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.
For more information about the category, you can refer to this article.
