Our tipp: Beside the general description you can describe in detail the categories room, food, sports & entertainement, location and service.

3. Check and complete hotel details

Many potential guests know exactly the criteria of their favorite hotel before they start their research and the booking process. To quickly get the best search results they make usage of the filter functionality on HolidayCheck. If you have not completed all hotel details you might offer the requested service but will not be shown in the search results. So the potential customer has no chance to decide on your hotel.

In case you did not upload any pictures yet or only a few we will also use pictures from former guests to show your hotel. Official pictures often have much better quality than the ones taken by guests with mobile devices.
