Yes, many vacation rentals welcome pets, so you can bring your furry companion along when booking on Holidu, Booking.com, or Airbnb. Use the pet-friendly filter to find suitable stays, and review each listing's house rules for any pet fees, restrictions, or pet requirements before you book.
How Do I Find Pet-Friendly Stays?
You can filter your search results for pet-friendly accommodations on each platform. The steps are below.
On Holidu
- During the booking process: Select your destination, travel dates, and number of guests. Once the search results appear, refine them by applying filters.
- Using the pet-friendly filter: On the left side of the search results page, look for the "Popular filters" or "Amenities" section. Check the box for "Pets allowed," and your results will show only accommodations that welcome pets.
On Booking.com
- During the booking process: When you select your destination, dates, and number of guests, open the guest selection drop-down menu and choose "Travelling with pets?" This shows only accommodations that allow pets.
- Using the search filters: If you did not select "Travelling with pets?" earlier, check the "Pets allowed" box under the "Facilities" section of the filter options on the left-hand side of the search results.
On Airbnb
- During the booking process: When you select your destination, dates, and number of guests, add the number of pets travelling with you in the guest selection drop-down menu. Your search results will then include only accommodations that allow pets.
- Using the search filters: If you did not enter the number of pets earlier, click "Filters" in the top right corner of the search page. In the pop-up window, check "Allows pets" under the "Booking options" section. If you added pets during the booking process, this filter is already applied.
Are There Pet Fees or Restrictions?
Each listing clearly states whether pets are allowed, along with any specific rules. Some hosts restrict the number, size, or type of pets, and additional pet fees may apply. Review the listing description and property information before booking. On Airbnb, you can also check the house rules under "Things to know."
If the listing does not mention pet fees or additional rules, you can generally bring your pet without a prior consultation with the host.
Do I Need to Add My Pet to My Booking?
Some properties require you to add your pet during the booking process. Make sure you add your pet's information where the platform asks for it:
- Holidu: Add your pet's information in the check-in form. For some properties, you also need to add your pet during booking. Review the Extra Services section on the checkout page, below your personal details. If the booking process fails after you add a pet, no pet-friendly properties are available for your selected dates.
- Booking.com: Select "Travelling with pets?" in the guest selection when searching, and make sure your pet is included in your reservation details.
- Airbnb: Add the number of pets in the guest selection before you book.
If you did not add your pet to your booking, contact the host as soon as possible to let them know you will be bringing a pet. This helps the host confirm that your stay is suitable and avoids surprises at check-in.
Planning a trip with your pet is easy once you know how to filter your search and check the house rules. Browse pet-friendly stays on your preferred platform and enjoy your holiday together.
