How to choose an appealing name for your holiday accommodation: ways to make your property stand out
The name of your holiday apartment is much more than a label: it is the first emotional connection a guest makes with your space. A good name can make the difference between going unnoticed and catching someone's attention among hundreds of options online.
In this guide, we show you how to find an original, compelling name for your accommodation, with inspiring ideas and tips for maintaining brand consistency using tools such as the iButlers customisable guest app.
Why is choosing the right name so important?
The name you give your property plays a fundamental role in your visibility and marketing strategy. A well-chosen name:
- Evokes positive emotions: It can evoke landscapes, feelings or memories that encourage people to book.
- Defines your value proposition: It communicates your accommodation’s style and personality.
- Helps with search engine rankings (SEO): Including relevant terms such as ‘city-centre apartment’ or ‘sea views’ can make it easier for people to find you in search engines.
Example: calling your property “Apartamento 1” (Apartment One) says very little. In contrast, a name such as “Mirador de la Bahía” (Bay Viewpoint) creates a more specific and appealing image.
What should you consider when choosing a name?
For the name to work, it needs to meet a few basic criteria:
1. References to the location and surroundings
Including the town, area or a nearby natural attraction can help guests recognise what makes the location appealing.
2. The type of experience you offer
The name should reflect your property's atmosphere: is it a place for romantic getaways? A modern loft for city travellers?
3. A personal and distinctive touch
Avoid generic names. Look for an original option that cannot be confused with others and has the potential to become part of your brand.
4. Your target audience
Think about who your ideal guests are and what kind of language or style might appeal to them.
