To Add Rates:

The standard rates are intended to display only when a traveler searches for dates outside of your detailed rate calendar. Please note, you can not include a rate range.

Quick Tip! When you list your home in a unique currency your rates will convert appropriately to US Dollars.

To add detailed rate information related to seasonality, unique dates, or holidays, click on 'Edit special rates.'  

Input the exact dates under ‘Start Date’ and ‘End Date.’  Add a minimum night stay and a ‘Rate Name,’ which is usually entered as a month or season. Enter your rates per night (weekday or weekend), per week, or per month. When you are done adding your rate details, click 'Save this rate.'
 

Quick Tip! Do not put in currency signs, commas, or decimal points when adding rates into your account - Just add the numerical value of the appropriate rate.  e.g. If your rate is $1,500.00 a week, please input the rate simply as 1500. 

If you wish to add rates for multiple months or seasons click ‘Add a new Rate.’  You can add as many rates as you choose.

How rates display on FlipKey and TripAdvisor

Quick Tip! Although the default rate display is set to show U.S. Dollars, each traveler can select from a list of currencies on FlipKey.

A price range will display on the natural search results in the property listings page. The rates are automatically converted to and shown in the currency of the traveler's choice in search results for easy comparison.

Quick Tip! The rate range displays when an owner or manager enters at least 2 detailed rates. FlipKey displays the lowest an highest prices entered on the rates page.

 

The ‘Rate and Availability’ tab displays the rates in the currency of the traveler’s choice. Any additional rate information, such as taxes, cleaning fees, or per person charges will also be shown under the ‘Rates and Availability’ section. The order of rental rates is sorted first by date, starting with the most current dates, then by label or season, and lastly by minimum night stays. The cost of the property per night, week, or month is not factored into the order in which rates are displayed on FlipKey or TripAdvisor.

How do rates display on TripAdvisor? A property’s rental rates vary on TripAdvisor depending on the unique domain of the TripAdvisor website.

Are you required to add rates?

 You are required to add either a nightly, weekly, or monthly rate to your property listing. 

We understand that every owner manages their rental property uniquely, and have therefore provided you with an opportunity to list rates flexibly. Rates reflect positively on the owner and lend credibility and professionalism to your listing.

Why are all my rates not displaying on FlipKey and TripAdvisor?

Rates only display if pricing details are for current or future dates. If there are rates in your account for dates that have already passed they will not display on FlipKey and TripAdvisor.

Quick Tip! We automatically update expired rates so that owners and managers receive qualified inquiries. FlipKey checks rental rates for dates that have already passed and simply updates the year to keep your rates displaying online and for current and future dates. Don't worry, we will not edit your actual rates!
