If you have a rural house and still don't know how to get the most out of it, read on to find out how HolidayCottagesToRent works, the advantages of integrating it into your channel manager, and how easy it will be to get more benefits throughout the year.

What is holidaycottagestorent?

holidaycottagestorent is the English site of casarurales.net, one of Spain's leading platforms for booking rural accommodation. Since its launch, it has served as a bridge between travelers seeking authentic experiences and rural house owners who want to publicize their accommodations. The platform offers various options, from cozy cabins to luxury rural houses, always focusing on sustainability and authenticity.

HolidayCottagesToRent has become a trusted source for travelers looking to disconnect from the hectic pace of the city and connect with nature. With thousands of properties listed, the platform gives hosts greater visibility within the rural tourism sector, which continues to boom in Spain and throughout Europe. 

From the classic rural house in the mountains to the beach, holidaycottagestorent combines all the profiles of rural accommodation and is a perfect booking platform for small hosts and vacation management agencies that work with many properties.

The holidaycottagestorent team cares most about their hosts' comfort and well-being. They are responsible for activating the ads and updating the images and descriptions. Their team of specialized editors will make your ads stand out and attractive to travelers. 

In addition to these facilities, the holidaycottagestorent business model also benefits hosts. During the low season (7%), the commission per booking is reduced. During the high season, which lasts only August, it rises to 15%, thus enabling you to save on commissions.

holidaycottagestorent has the advantage of operating in Spain and other European markets, such as France. Thus, you will have the backing of an international company that manages millions of properties and has extensive experience in the sector.

Smoobu: Helping hosts and sustainable tourism

At Smoobu, we understand the challenges of small hosts, especially those who manage rural accommodation. Competing with large platforms and hotel chains can be difficult, and managing multiple booking channels can be time-consuming.

Furthermore, we share the vision of promoting responsible and environmentally friendly tourism models. Integrating holidaycottagestorent reinforces our commitment to sustainability and accommodation growth, promoting ecological and local tourism. 

Connecting rural hosts with travelers who value nature and authenticity is another step toward our goal of contributing to more balanced and sustainable tourism.
