Go to ‘Holiday rental’ and click ‘Edit’;
In the new window, choose ‘Add holiday homes Season’ in the dropdown menu
Note: Each time you add a ‘Holiday homes Season’, it will be available for other properties.
When adding a new holiday home season please write the name, the refund values and the descriptions.
