List your bed & breakfast or gîte commission-free

Question 1

How much does Holicosy cost?

Accepted Answer

For a listing published by 31 December 2026, Holicosy is free for the first year, with no commitment or credit card required, then the subscription is €30 for the second year. From the third year, the standard rate is €60/year, roughly €5/month. Founding members, published by 31 August 2026, pay €30 in both year 2 and year 3. For a listing published from 2027, the €60/year rate applies from the first year. No commission is ever charged on your bookings: 0%, always.

Question 2

What features are included?

Accepted Answer

Everything is included from sign-up: interactive calendar with iCal import/export (Airbnb, Booking), advanced pricing (seasons, weekends, age groups, long-stay discounts), management of up to 5 rooms, rich text editor, photo gallery, dashboard with view statistics and conversion rate, listing completeness score, unread enquiries badge, Google Business link to display your reviews, and listing published in French and English. No hidden options.

Question 3

How does direct contact work?

Accepted Answer

Travellers who view your listing contact you directly by email or phone. No middleman, no commission. You receive their details and manage the booking independently.

Question 4

Can I keep my other channels (Booking, Airbnb)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Holicosy is complementary. You can keep your listings on Booking, Airbnb or any other site. No exclusivity is required. Holicosy simply offers you an additional commission-free channel.

Question 5

How do I register my property?

Accepted Answer

Create your account in under 5 minutes, add your photos, rooms and rates, then publish your listing. Your property is visible immediately. If you publish in 2026, your free year starts from publication.

Question 6

What types of accommodation does Holicosy list?

Accepted Answer

Holicosy lists chambres d'hôtes (B&Bs) and gîtes — independent accommodation run by its own owners. No hotels, no chains, no holiday resorts. This focus ensures better visibility for every owner, whether they host guests in their own home or rent out a self-contained property.

Question 7

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Your data is hosted in France and protected in accordance with the GDPR. We never resell your personal information or that of your guests. Security and privacy are at the heart of our service.

Question 8

How many properties are already listed?

Accepted Answer

Holicosy currently lists  properties across  French departments. The platform grows every week as new owners join the network.

Question 9

How do travellers find me on Holicosy?

Accepted Answer

Through Google search (SEO), social media, our thematic blog and word of mouth. Every listing is optimised to rank in Google search results, with a French and an English version. The more complete and well-photographed your listing is, the more it stands out in search results.

Question 10

What if I don't receive any enquiries in the first year?

Accepted Answer

If your listing is published in 2026, your first year is entirely free from the day it is published, with no credit card or commitment: you take no risk. If Holicosy doesn't work for you after 12 months, you pay nothing and can simply not renew. For a listing published from 2027, the €60/year subscription applies from publication. If you receive enquiries, you'll quickly have saved hundreds of euros in commissions compared to Booking.

Question 11

Can I sync my calendar with Airbnb or Booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, iCal sync is bidirectional and unlimited. You can import iCal feeds from Airbnb, Booking.com, Séjour Direct or any other channel to automatically block your booked dates. Holicosy also generates an iCal export URL per room, which you can paste into your other platforms so they pick up your unavailabilities. No more updating your calendar in multiple places.
