Getting guests to understand exactly what your property offers can be challenging, but what if you could show them? Introducing Tripadvisor’s Property Videos.
Travelers are spending more time than ever watching videos: Videos allow users a special view into your property, capturing their attention and giving them a glimpse into what makes you special.
Property Videos allow you to bring your accommodation to life by displaying video content right alongside your photos on Tripadvisor. Leave a lasting impression and connect with travelers through the power of video.

Tips for posting Property Videos:
- Review our guidelines: Ensure your video aligns with our Property Video guidelines before you post.
- Keep it short: Short clips are more engaging. All videos should not exceed three minutes.
- Switch it up: Showcase different areas of your property – whether it’s a walk-through of your Master Suite, a fly over video of your pristine golf course, or a welcome video from your staff. Just like with photos, it’s best to highlight a variety of areas!
- Combine with Announcements: If you’ve made changes to your property, consider posting a video on the updates, along with an Announcement. This can help draw travelers in.
