Creating a Listing

This guide walks you through every step of creating a new property listing in hejGuide. A listing is your property's profile -- it contains all the information guests need and connects to your calendar, rates, and bookings.

Start a new listing

1. Click Listings in the sidebar.
2. Click the Add Listing button.
3. You'll land on the new-listing page. At the top is a Import from Airbnb shortcut -- the fastest way to set up, since it pulls in your content automatically. To enter details by hand instead, use the three-step wizard below it.

TIP

If your property is already on Airbnb, try the import first -- it saves a lot of typing. See Import from Airbnb.

A note on cost

Adding a listing isn't always free. Before the form opens, hejGuide checks your plan:

• If the listing is included in your plan, the wizard opens straight away.
• If it's a billable extra, you'll see the monthly price and can choose to continue.
• If you've hit your plan's listing limit, you'll be pointed to upgrade or set up billing first.

Step 1: Basic info

• Property name (required) -- A clear, descriptive name. This is how the property appears throughout hejGuide -- on your calendar, in bookings, in reports, and in guest communications. For example: "Seaside Villa with Pool" or "Downtown Studio Apartment".
• Property type -- Pick the type that best matches your place: apartment, house, villa, cabin, cottage, chalet, bungalow, studio, loft, room, bed & breakfast, boat, or other.
• Description -- A short summary of the property. You can flesh this out later on the listing's General tab.
• Address (required) -- Street address, postal code, city, and country. State / province is optional.

TIP

Write your description from the guest's perspective. Focus on what they'll enjoy during their stay, not just a list of features.

Step 2: Accommodation

Set the size and capacity of your property:

• Max guests (required) -- The maximum number of guests the property can accommodate.
• Bedrooms (required) -- The total number of bedrooms.
• Bathrooms (required) -- The total number of bathrooms (half baths allowed, e.g. 1.5).

Step 3: Check-in

Set the arrival and stay basics:

• Check-in time -- The earliest time guests can arrive (defaults to 15:00).
• Check-out time -- When guests must leave (defaults to 11:00).
• Minimum nights -- The shortest stay you'll accept (defaults to 1).

Click Create listing to finish. You'll be taken to the listing detail page, where you can continue adding information:

• Upload photos
• Set the address & map location
• Select amenities
• Add check-in instructions
• Set house rules
• Configure payment settings

WARNING

The wizard collects the essentials. We strongly recommend completing the other tabs -- especially photos, amenities, and pricing -- before you start accepting bookings.

What to do after creating a listing

Once your listing is created and filled in, the next steps are:

1. Set up rates -- Go to Rates & Pricing to define your nightly price, minimum stay, and any seasonal adjustments.
2. Open your calendar -- Visit the Calendar to see your listing's availability and start accepting bookings.
3. Configure emails -- Set up automated emails so guests receive booking confirmations and check-in instructions automatically.
