External rental
Share your holiday homes with other organisations
How it works
External rental makes it possible to collaborate with other organisations that also use Bookhus, by sharing holiday homes that already exist. The feature gives users access to more holiday homes while improving overall occupancy.
Instead of leaving homes empty during periods of low demand, you can open selected periods to users from other organisations and create more value from your existing setup.
More choice without extra administration
When you share your homes with other organisations, your users gain access to a larger and more varied selection of holiday homes. This makes it easier to find something that fits their needs, without you having to invest in more properties.
At the same time, your own homes become visible to new users in periods where they would otherwise remain unbooked.
Better occupancy during low demand periods
Many organisations experience lower occupancy outside peak seasons. External rental makes it possible to use these periods better by opening homes to external users when there is available capacity.
This creates a more stable rental flow and reduces wasted capacity, without compromising access for your own users.
Full control over partners and periods
You decide which organisations to collaborate with, which homes can be shared, and during which periods they are available. This allows you to prioritise your own users and only open for external rental when it fits your planning.
Access can be adjusted continuously, so the setup always reflects your current needs.
If you are a holiday fund
A significantly larger catalogue of holiday homes
If you are a holiday fund, external rental gives access to a much larger catalogue of holiday homes. This is because holiday funds can share homes with each other, and all participating funds make their homes available through Bookhus.
This means your users are not limited to choosing between your own holiday homes, but can also choose from a wide selection of homes owned by other holiday funds.
Why the catalogue is larger for holiday funds
Holiday funds operate under specific frameworks for how their holiday homes can be rented out. A fund can make its own homes available to other holiday funds, but not to companies, private individuals, or other types of organisations.
When multiple holiday funds share homes in this way, a shared catalogue is created that is significantly larger than what a single organisation can offer on its own.
As a holiday fund, you gain access to a shared offering where many different homes, locations, and property types are gathered in one place. This creates a much broader selection without replacing or diluting your own homes.
More options without more properties
The larger catalogue makes it possible to offer employees and users many more choices, without having to invest in new holiday homes. You can expand your offering significantly without expanding your portfolio.
At the same time, your own holiday homes become part of the shared catalogue and can be rented by other holiday funds during periods when they would otherwise be vacant.
Control and prioritisation are maintained
Even with a large shared catalogue, you remain fully in control. You decide when your own homes can be rented by other holiday funds, and when they are reserved exclusively for your own users.
In this way, you benefit from a large shared catalogue while still prioritising your own needs and users.
