Houfy Link & Video Guidelines

Comprehensive guidelines and best practices for property owners and managers regarding link and video content policies, ensuring platform compliance and exceptional guest experiences.

Introduction

Platform Responsibility

Houfy has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any Third Party Websites. In addition, Houfy will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any Third Party Website.

Member Responsibility

By using the Services, you expressly relieve and hold harmless Houfy from any and all liability arising from your use of any Third Party Website. Houfy reserves the right to remove links that violate its listing guidelines and suspends members who upload such links.

Purpose of Guidelines

These guidelines ensure that all external links and video content shared on the Houfy platform maintain high standards of quality, relevance, and appropriateness for our family-friendly community.

The hyperlinks to Third Party Websites are intended for verification and reference purposes only, helping guests make informed decisions about your property.

Link Guidelines

Best Practices

Ensure all links are functional and up-to-date
Provide clear descriptions for external links
Use HTTPS links whenever possible
Regularly verify link functionality

Link Verification Process

Houfy's objective is to be as clear as possible. We recommend our members add as many direct links as possible, with similar or the same information to help guests verify property details and make informed booking decisions.

Do you have a homepage, link with a floor plan, or is your property listed on another site? Including these links helps build trust and provides guests with comprehensive information about your property.
