To help improve your vacation rental business, we've been making some of our own improvements here at Kigo HQ. You may have been noticing new functionality as weeks passed; we thought it was about time that we update you on the great features we have been building for you.

Without further ado, Kigo are excited to share with you the changes we have been working hard on over the last 6 months:

More Fee Options

Now there are even more possibilities to choose from when setting property fees. Dynamic pricing will allow you to maximize bookings by catering to a variety of guests. You can now set fees based on:

  • “check-out on weekday” or “check-out on weekend”

  • or the "per length of stay" choice allows specifying "amount per night, per guest".

And so much more...
