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.

Step 1: Start a new listing

1. Click Listings in the sidebar.
2. Click the Add Listing button in the top right corner.
3. You will be taken to the listing creation form.

Step 2: Fill in basic information

Name

Give your property a clear, descriptive name. This is how it will appear throughout hejGuide -- on your calendar, in bookings, in reports, and in guest communications.

Good examples:

• "Seaside Villa with Pool"
• "Downtown Studio Apartment"
• "Mountain Cabin - 3BR"

Property type

Select the type that best matches your property:

• Apartment
• House
• Villa
• Room
• Cabin
• Cottage
• Bungalow
• Other

The property type helps categorize your listing and is displayed to guests.

Description

Write a detailed description of your property. This is your chance to make a great first impression. Include:

• What makes the property special (location, views, design)
• The general layout (number of rooms, key features)
• Nearby attractions or convenience (beach, restaurants, public transport)
• The experience guests can expect

TIP

Write your description from the guest's perspective. Focus on what they will enjoy during their stay, not just a list of features. A warm, inviting description helps convert inquiries into bookings.

Timezone

Select the timezone where your property is located. This ensures that check-in times, automated emails, and calendar events display correctly for both you and your guests.

Step 3: Set capacity

Define the size and capacity of your property:

• Bedrooms -- The total number of bedrooms.
• Bathrooms -- The total number of bathrooms (including half baths).
• Max guests -- The maximum number of guests the property can accommodate.
• Floor area -- The total floor area of the property (in square meters or square feet).

These details are displayed on your listing and help guests determine if the property suits their needs.

Step 4: Save your listing

Click Save to create the listing. You will be taken to the listing detail page where you can continue adding information:

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

WARNING

A listing needs at least a name and property type to be saved. However, we strongly recommend completing all sections -- especially photos, address, and amenities -- 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.
