Everything You Need to Manage Your Holiday Rental
From direct bookings and cleaning teams to AI guest messaging and social media — Hols gives you every tool in one place.
Direct Bookings
Take direct booking requests through your own listing page and accept or decline each one. Publish or hide listings at any time and share them on social media or WhatsApp.
Revenue Management
Set flexible nightly rates, peak-season pricing, and last-minute deals. Add paid extras — breakfast, parking, site passes — to increase earnings on every stay.
Multi-Calendar & Channel Sync
Manage bookings and block dates from one calendar. Sync instantly with Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo via iCal — no double-bookings, no spreadsheets.
Cleaning Team Management
Invite cleaners by email and manage your entire housekeeping operation in one place. Create task templates with checklists, assign jobs, and track completion — all from your dashboard.
Cleaner Invoicing
Your cleaning team submits invoices directly through the platform. Review line items, mark invoices as paid, and keep a clear record of every payment — no chasing, no paperwork.
AI-Powered Tools
Your AI host assistant drafts replies to guest enquiries for you to review, answers questions about your bookings and writes listing copy — you decide what gets sent.
Social Media Studio
An optional monthly add-on for R129/month through Paystack: create designed social posts with AI, receive reminders and share each post yourself. Billed separately from your host plan; TradeSafe handles bookings only.
Secure TradeSafe Escrow Payments
Guests pay through TradeSafe, South Africa's escrow service. The money is held safely and paid to your bank account 24 hours after check-in. No Hols booking fee.
Multiple Property Types
List Self-Catering, Bed & Breakfast, Guest House, Country House, Game Lodge, Nature Reserve, Caravan & Camping, Backpackers & Hostelling, Hotel or Boutique Hotel accommodation. Whole-property, room, unit, dormitory and site-based pricing are supported.
Guest Registration Forms
Send every guest a branded registration form automatically when you accept a booking. Choose exactly which details to collect per listing, download or print for your 2-year compliance records, and we permanently delete the data after check-out.
Free Host & Restaurant Website
Build your own branded website in minutes, with all your listings, direct booking, gallery, guidebook and house rules. Run a restaurant too? Add a separate restaurant website with menus, opening hours and table bookings — free.
You Choose Who Pays the Card Fee
TradeSafe payment and escrow fees are separate from Hols booking fees. In Earnings, choose whether you, the guest or both pay them when setting up bank details. Guest-paid fees are shown before payment.
Dynamic Pricing Assistant
Get price suggestions for South African school holidays, public holidays and long weekends. Review each suggestion and apply only the ones you want.
Accounting & Earnings
Track income and expenses per property, upload receipts and see your earnings in one place, with an AI finance assistant to answer questions about your figures.
Team Access
Invite co-hosts or staff and choose exactly what each person can see and do. Billing, payouts and team management always stay with you.
Up and Running in Minutes
No lengthy onboarding. No setup fees. Just a few simple steps between you and your first booking.

Payments, Payouts & Refunds
Every booking payment runs through TradeSafe escrow, so guests and hosts are both protected.
Guest Pays Through TradeSafe
The guest pays the full booking amount through TradeSafe. The money is held in escrow — not by Hols and not by you — until the stay begins.
Paid Out After Check-in
TradeSafe releases the funds 24 hours after check-in and pays them into the bank account you registered with TradeSafe.
TradeSafe Fees, No Hols Booking Fee
TradeSafe payment and escrow fees are separate from Hols booking fees. In Earnings, choose whether you, the guest or both pay them when setting up bank details. Guest-paid fees are shown before payment.
Cancellation & Refunds
Choose Flexible, Moderate or Strict per listing. If a booking is cancelled, the refund due under your policy is paid back to the guest from escrow.
