How to add digs

Great! So, you’ve created an account and want to be a Host!

For a full detailed tutorial on registering as a Host, see our article: How to register as a Host.

Now, here’s how to add your digs.

1. Before adding any digs to your profile you first need to make sure that you're logged in. Go to the Host login page by clicking the Hosts button at the bottom of your screen, or by clicking here.

Then, Enter your email & password and click 'Login'.

2. On the bottom of your screen, you will see the 'Digs' button. Click on this to begin listing your Digs.

3. You will be greeted by this message. Click 'Add Digs' to start entering your listing details.

4. Now you can start entering your details! Don't forget to include a lovely description of your digs. 

Please note: 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. 

Please note that there is a limit of 255 characters for the digs name (we recommend that you keep your digs name short and punchy)

5. Now you can choose the type of accommodation you offer, and then click on the 'Create Digs' button:

6. Describe your Digs - you can write as much as you like but we recommend a minimum of 150 words: 

Now tick all the features that apply to your listing, and click on the Save + Next Step button at the bottom!

7. Next select whether you are letting the whole property, or renting rooms individually, and click on the Save + Next Step button:

8. Then add your your rooms by clicking on the 'Add Bedroom' button:

On this next page it's time to add your room details and enter the details that describe your first room the best, including: the room name, bed type, and number of Guests.  Then select your room features, and click the 'Add Bedroom' button at the bottom.  

9. Now you need to add prices for each room.  You can do this by clicking on the 'Add Prices' button:

Then add your prices for your Guests, and then click 'Save + Next Step':

If you are letting the whole property, ensure you fill out the correct pricing per night/week/month. Full details can be found here.  You can choose to have your price varying depending on the number of Guests, or remain the same no matter how many Guests you have.  You will need to select one of these options before clicking on 'Save + Next Step'.

Next add the minimum number of nights you want to accept bookings for, and whether or not you want the minimum stay to apply to each week for longer bookings.  Then click on the 'Save +Next Step' button.

10. Your next step is to add photos of your Digs.  Click on 'Add Photos', and then 'Select Files To Upload' to begin uploading.  Once you are happy with your photos, click 'Next Step'.

11.  The next page is to find out about Gas Safety in your Digs.  Select the appropriate 'Yes' or 'No', then click on 'Save + Next Step' to move forward:

12. The next section is all about Health and Safety measures you have in your Digs.  Just tick the boxes which fit for your Digs and click 'Save + Next Step':

13. Great - this next page shows you that your Digs are ready to book!  To see where you can improve your listing click on the 'More' button at the bottom of the page:

14. Finally, you just need to update your calendar. You can click on the 'Calendar' button at the bottom in the middle of your mobile view to go to your calendar.  You can click here to see our full calendar tutorial.

THAT’S IT!!! You have completed your digs listing. To double-check your digs listing, just click ‘Preview’ from your digs page.
