Listing a property on tripadvisor

Post by Ludwig »

Is it possible to set a property that is listed with cottages.com up on tripadvisor for reviews?

You have to list your property as a commission listing.

Unless your guests are already registered with TA, they won't want to register and then get bombarded with emails suggesting other places they might want to stay next time instead of your property.

Paolo - Many thanks but I was not contemplating using tripadvisor for bookings (they come via cottages.com), merely for guests' reviews. Do you know if that's possible?

Perhaps cottages.com pay for listing on Trip Advisor? Worth asking. A lot of agencies seem to have their properties on Holiday Lettings aka Trip Advisor.

As far as I know an owner has to live on site to put their property on TA for reviews.

Hello Ludwig and welcome.

Holiday rentals must have a listing with a TA subsidiary before they can receive TA reviews. Use either of the commission/subscription listing sites HL or FK or alternatively use VHR (VacationHomeRentals.com) for a soley subscription listing site. A listing with any of these companies gives you the right to invite guests to review their stay.
There is no way to get TA reviews without a listing.
