Millions of travelers use internet search engines every day (such as Google-a) to find and book accommodation. The number of searches with the intention of finding vacation accommodation is constantly increasing.

To respond to this demand, in 2019 Google created Google Vacation Rentals, a product that integrates short-term rental listings.

Google Vacation Rentals is the latest addition to Google's suite of travel search products aimed at simplifying the user experience.

But how can renters use this to attract more bookings?

In this article, we'll explain everything you need to know about Google Vacation Rentals—how listings are shown to guests, the benefits, and how to get listed in the first place.

Platform Google Travel Desktop becomes the place where Google users can plan their entire trip.

The search giant, with its powerful algorithms based on data and machine learning, wants to create a travel platform for users based on their interests and preferences.

Google Vacation Rentals is part of the search engine's effort to improve the search experience, making it easier to plan and book trips through Google.

In 2011, the company introduced Google Hotel Ads, which display hotel room availability and prices directly in search results. Their next travel product was Google Flights, which works in a similar way, making it easy to buy airline tickets.

And from 2019, holiday accommodation listings also appear in Google search results, making it easier for travelers to find and book alternative accommodation.

Now that you know what Google Vacation Rentals is and what it does, let's take a look at some of the reasons why advertise accommodation facilities on Google:

• Google has a global reach – your short-term rental properties will be visible to millions of travelers.
• Highly qualified audience – you'll target people who use Google to plan, compare and book travel.
• Direct bookings - currently Google does not charge for making reservations so you will get direct bookings without commission
• Generate income directly from your website - Google can be another in a series of sales channels where you can advertise your accommodation facilities, and if you use the Channel manager, your work is even faster and simpler.

One of the ways that potential guests can use Google to find vacation accommodation (villa, apartment, room, campsite...) is to search using the Vacations Rentals page on the platform Google Travel.

Google Travel is a product for organizing and searching trips that works on the concept of "everything in one place". Through the platform, you can search for flights, hotels and other forms of accommodation (rooms, apartments, villas), activities within the destination, etc.

It's one tool you can use to organize your entire trip.

It works on a similar principle to other booking portals such as HomeToGo or AirBNB.

The business model of online booking portals is based on a commission, which means that you pay them a certain percentage for each booking that comes through the portal.

In general, all hosts that advertise through Airbnb and are users of Channel manager in Croatia have only one available commission model called Simplified Pricing, ie fee only for the host.

Airbnb the commission is 15%.

In an interview with Airbnb, they confirmed to us that users who use the shared fee module do not gain an advantage.

As an example, we have prepared two ads.

The first ad has a simplified fee (the fee is paid only by the host), the second ad has a split fee (the fee is paid by both the host and the guest). The ads have similar total prices, but the first daily price shown is neutral relative to the commission model.

In partnership with RevNGo, we held webinar on which it is RevNGo Key account manager for our market presented their business module, terms, benefits and advertising opportunities on RevNGo.

The webinar is intended for everyone who has their own accommodation facilities for rent and travel agencies and want to learn more about RevNGo, how to advertise and their way of doing business.

Thanks to the official API connection MyRent-as booking portal RevNGo, it is possible to synchronize the information on accommodation reservations.

Over it MyRent according to RevNGo it is possible to synchronize reservations, calendar, prices.
