Turn Your Bathroom Descriptions into a Competitive Advantage
A clear and precise description of the bathrooms in an accommodation is a key factor in avoiding misunderstandings and increasing guest satisfaction. It's not enough to just state a number: travelers want to know if there's a shower or bathtub, if they are half or full bathrooms, or if any are en suite. Avantio's new functionality allows you to display all this information in detail, providing greater clarity and appeal to the advertisements.
What is Bathroom Distribution?
You can now indicate not only how many bathrooms there are in the accommodation profile but also their type, location, and specific features. You can even add a brief description to complete the information.
Main Benefits
More information for guests, who know exactly what to expect.
Greater compatibility with portals that display detailed data.
Clearer and more visual accommodation profiles on your own web.
Fewer doubts, fewer clarification messages, and therefore more direct bookings.
Where and How to Configure It?
The configuration is done in the "Bathrooms" section of the accommodation profile, where three possible scenarios are presented:
No bathrooms configured.
Configuration without new distribution.
New distribution configured.
Step by Step
Access the accommodation profile from Accommodations → Short-term Rentals → Property List and click on the "Full View" button
of the accommodation. Open the "Bathrooms" section.
Click on "Edit Configuration" to open the information.
Select the category of each bathroom: bathroom or toilet.
Define the location (common areas or a specific bedroom). By default, "In common areas" will be shown.
Mark the mandatory features: WC, shower, bathtub, bidet, jacuzzi, sauna, or whirlpool.
Indicate if it is a shared bathroom (optional).
Add, if desired, a brief description of up to 200 characters.
Save the changes.
Useful Tip
Use the description to highlight unique aspects, such as "hydromassage shower" or "ensuite bathroom with views".
Additional Changes in the Accommodation Profile
Items like hairdryer, shampoo/gel, or towels now move to the "Home Accessories" section.
For towel service, you can indicate if there is a replacement and how often (every day, every 3 days, etc.).
Web Preview
In the detailed preview, a new bathroom icon will appear.
Hovering over it will show the type ("bathroom", "toilet") and quantity.
In the general information section, the old icon is replaced by the new one.
The detailed information will display the complete distribution.
Best Practices
Review all your accommodations to configure the new distribution.
Always use the actual features of each bathroom: guests appreciate accuracy.
Use the description field to add value, avoiding duplicate information.
Before saving, confirm that:
All bathrooms and toilets are registered.
Each has its category and location defined.
You have marked all relevant features.
The description does not exceed 200 characters.
Configuring the bathroom distribution is a simple process that provides transparency and enhances the guest experience from the start. This functionality not only builds trust but also increases direct bookings and optimizes the visibility of your accommodation on different portals.
As a next step, we encourage you to enter the "Bathrooms" section of each profile and update the information to make the most of this new functionality.
