How to add digs

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

If you haven't already created your account, click here and follow the onscreen registration instructions. 

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! First, begin by adding a name for your Digs and searching for the address.

Please note that there is a limit of 90 characters for the digs name (we recommend that you keep your digs name short and punchy). 

Hosts can also add their address manually if they wish.

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

6.  Now its time to describe your Digs - this section is really important, so we have divided it into three segments: 

 
The area and transport:

The parking available:

And finally the digs description: 

Once you've added all three, click 'Next'.

7. On the next page, click on the cross next to select any amenities in your Digs' common areas that apply to your listing.

Click on the 'Next' button at the bottom to add these!

8. Next select whether you are letting the whole property, or renting rooms individually, and click on the 'Save + Next Step' button. If you are letting a whole property, see our help article here. 

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

9. On the next page it's time to add a name to your room. Again, it's good to keep it short and snappy. 

Then, select the bed type by clicking on the dropdown and tapping on the correct option. 

Then select the number of Guests and your room features.

Click the 'Add Bedroom' button at the bottom.  

10. You can then check the details you've added, add another room or proceed to the next step.

11. 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':

Note: 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'.

12. 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.

13. The next step is to add photos of your Digs.  You can add up to 10 photos. Landscape photos are best.  Guest like to see lots of photos of your Digs.  The first picture should be of your room/s. Click on 'Add Photos' to begin. 

If you're uploading photos already taken on your phone, click on 'Device' and then 'Photo Library'. 

Alternatively, you can take some snaps by clicking on 'Take Photo or Video'.

Select the photo and click 'Upload'.

You can add up to 10 photos, Guest like to see lots of photos and make sure the first one is of your room, click 'Add Photos' and repeat the above step. 

Once you are happy with your photos, click 'Next Step'.

14.  The next page is to find out about Gas Safety in your Digs.  

Select the appropriate 'Yes' or 'No', to whether the premises is connected to a gas supply, as well as whether the safety certificate is on display at the property. 

You can also add the expiry date if you would like although this is optional.

15. 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':

16. 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:

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.
