This tutorial shows you how to add your Digs as a Whole Property.
In order to post your Digs within this criteria, please follow these steps!
To begin, make sure you're on our webpage - www.theatredigsbooker.com.
1. Click on 'List a Room' at the top right of the page, alternatively, you can click 'I'm A Host' to just register.
2. Next, Click on the button that says 'Register as a Host today!'
3. Enter your contact details and click 'Save + Next'Step'.
4. Now, its time to add a little information about yourself - We only show this information at the right time to potential guests to protect your privacy.
5. This next step is optional, but you can add a profile photo if you wish. This will allow potential guests to see you!
6. Now its time to add your Digs! Click on the button 'Add Digs' (this is under the 'Digs' Tab).
7. Fill out this form with the information required. For Tips and Tricks, a Host's Checklist can be found here. Please note that at this point, it's a good idea to verify your email address! If not, your Digs will go Unlisted.
Note: If you offer seasonal pricing variations, explain this in your description and when you fill in the pricing fields use the minimum fee you are willing to let your digs for. We are working on a way of including seasonal pricing variations but this method will keep things clear for now.
8. Now you can add a little more information about your Digs. This includes adding a detailed Digs description and selecting the features available by ticking the relevant check boxes. Once you have done this, click the 'Save + Next Step' button.
If you have a different payment arrangement other than ‘Pay on arrival after inspecting the property’, please add this to your description alongside any terms regarding cancellation and refunds, as this agreement is strictly between you and your Guest.
If you would like some time to think about what you wish to write, you can come back to this later by clicking 'Skip Step' in the top right corner.
Note: If you are letting rooms individually please see How to Register as a Host.

10. If your pricing changes dependent on the number of Guests then select 'I VARY the price depending on the number of Guests', fill out the pricing and maximum number of Guests.
