Have you joined Holidu’s Referral Program yet? This program is a great way to boost your income by referring friends to host with Holidu, and what’s more, it’s open to everyone, even if you’re not a holiday rental owner yourself. Even if you don’t rent a holiday home, you can become a Holidu Ambassador. Maximise your earnings by spreading the word about Holidu to your contacts in the holiday rental industry.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Referral Program.
What is the Holidu Referral Program?
The Holidu Referral Program is a great way to boost your earnings. When a host you refer publishes their property on Holidu, you receive a cash referral reward, and your friend receives 50% off their Holidu activation fee. There is no limit to how many referrals you make; the more you refer, the more you earn.
It’s a win-win for all. You earn extra income, and your friend gets a fresh place to advertise their vacation rental.
How to refer friends to Holidu
Holidu has a simple referral platform designed to help make referring friends easier. For existing Holidu Hosts, simply log into your Holidu account, navigate to “More” and “Referral Program”, where you can access your unique referral link, and share it with your friends. Once your friend signs up to Holidu via your link and publishes their property on Holidu, you’ll receive your referral reward.
For non-hosts, you can also take advantage of the Referral Program. Simply sign up to become an Ambassador, and set up your referral account. Access your unique referral link, and share it with your friends. Once your friend signs up to Holidu via your link and publishes their property on Holidu, you’ll receive your referral reward.
Referral Rewards in the Holidu Referral Program
Referral Program rewards start when your friend’s property has been published on Holidu. Best of all, you don’t need to wait for someone to actually rent their holiday apartment — once the listing is up, your reward will be paid directly into your bank account.
The more people who join Holidu from your referral link, the more rewards you can earn. Here are the special bonuses you can receive:
- A minimum of €75 for every property you refer that gets published on Holidu
- €100 extra for three published referrals
- €1000 extra for ten published referrals
There’s no need for you to do anything special to get the bonus — the money will automatically be transferred to the bank account set up in your Holidu account.
In addition to this, your friends benefit too! They get 50% off their activation fee when they join Holidu.

Making the most of the Holidu Referral Program
You might be wondering how you can encourage other holiday home owners to join Holidu. Here are some tried and tested methods that can help the Holidu Referral Program really work for you:
1. Make it personal
We’ve all seen people spamming referral links on various social media platforms — and most of us have learned to ignore them. Keep sharing the same link over and over again, and you may end up blocked. That’s because people don’t respond well to what seems like mass spam.
Instead, focus on the personal side of things. If Holidu has worked well for you, then tell your friends about that. Explain the benefits of using Holidu as a platform. If you’re speaking with someone in person, you could even show them how Holidu works for you. Open up your Holidu account to let them see the simple, user-friendly interface.
2. Discuss the advantages of Holidu
When you’re sharing your referral link, highlight the reasons you love Holidu or the benefits you think your friend would enjoy. Here are some examples:
- With Holidu’s channel manager, you only need one contract with a single account to be present on all top portals.
- No extra costs! A photoshoot is included in a host’s service package.
- Holidu’s synchronised calendar saves time, protects hosts from overbookings and cancellation penalties.
3. Explain how they’ll benefit
Remember, the Referral Program isn’t just about the referral reward — it will also help your friends. When you share your unique referral link via mobile, a prefilled message highlighting their benefits can be shared on WhatsApp, email and social media.
4. Use social media
Not everyone has the social media presence to pull this off, but if you fancy yourself as a bit of an influencer, you can certainly use that to your advantage. Share some stories on your Instagram, Facebook, or other social media about Holidu. Be sure to follow all the tips above — don’t make it look like a sales pitch, or people will be turned off. With some creative, well-planned content, you may find yourself attracting a lot of fresh Holidu Hosts.
Of course, if you’re going to go down this path, it’s important that your social media account is tailored to the right audience. Remember, the Holidu Referral Program is aimed at holiday rental owners, not just travellers.
The Holidu Referral Program helps you earn some extra income whilst bringing new vacation rental hosts to Holidu. Anyone can join and benefit from the referral rewards, hosts or non-hosts. Try it out today and watch your rewards roll in.
