List and Manage Rental Properties on Booking.com With TIDY

Excellent guest experiences start from the moment your vacation property visitors enter your rental homes. Clean, welcoming environments make visitors feel at home, ensuring they enjoy their stays and spread the word about your properties. However, if your rental properties remain consistently busy, it can be challenging to coordinate reliable cleaners and achieve quick turnarounds for your rental business.

If you manage rental properties and need a solution to rental property cleaning challenges and maintenance requests, this article is for you. We’ll show you how linking vacation rental websites like Booking.com with maintenance and cleaning software from TIDY can streamline property management companies' cleanings while providing exceptional guest experiences.

Let's explore the benefits of integrating your rental properties with TIDY's property management software and simplifying property management — so you can spend more time elevating guest experiences and less time coordinating cleaning systems.

The Synergy of Booking.com + TIDY

Property management firms that list rental properties on Booking.com or other vacation rental platforms such as Airbnb already understand the benefits of these platforms. Offering broad exposure to global audiences, Booking.com can boost the visibility and reach of rental properties among potential guests.

As a busy property manager navigating the ups and downs of the real estate industry, you also know how vital your cleaning industry professionals are to efficient turnovers. When you link Booking.com with TIDY, you get a powerful duo to help streamline rental cleaning and property maintenance.

TIDY combines cleaning software, artificial intelligence (AI), and the human touch to automate cleaning appointments, ensuring efficient turnovers between guest reservations. It also facilitates communication between property managers and cleaning professionals, reduces the risk of no-shows, and centralizes reservation management.
