Latest Update to FlipKey Listings
FlipKey has updated owners’ listing details pages to make them more efficient for travellers searching for rentals with specific criteria.
What’s new?
- Choose from more “languages spoken”
- List of what’s nearby, how guests can get to your rental and if a car is necessary.
- Number of dining seats or lounge chairs available.
- Suitability options including children over 5 and an elevator.
- Streamlined amenities that eliminate traveller confusion (if some are gone they should be end of your property description for you to save or edit.
- A more descriptive location type.
- Description now includes “retired” amenities
- Pool type
- Proper bathroom descriptions
- Bed types. No longer an’other’ option*. Unusual beds like a futon or hammock should be included in the property description.
Changes to some amenities are in order ‘to aid travellers in their property searches and booking decisions so that you’ll spend less time responding to questions and more time accepting reservation requests’.
*The decision to get rid of the “other” option is because it is not a searchable filter in the amenities section and for travellers seeing ‘other” can be misleading or confusing.
