Riviera, Classic or Earth & linen: how to pick a design that fits your property and guests.
6 min read
The template sets the tone
Your template defines first impression: colours, typography, hero and gallery layout. Hostiv offers several ready-made styles — same booking engine, different visual identity.
Choose based on property and audience: clean and reassuring for business travellers, warm for holiday homes, premium for high-end stays.
Compare the three styles
Spend 10 minutes previewing each template with your own photos. The right choice highlights your main asset in the first second.
Riviera: gradients, upscale feel, ideal for villas or sea views
Classic: light background, red accents, readable and conversion-focused
Earth & linen: beige and terracotta, perfect for character homes
Customize without starting over
After picking a template, adjust colours, copy, logo and photos. Hostiv’s editor previews live so you see the guest view before publishing.
The Pro plan unlocks multi-property support, PDF guide, invoices and co-hosts — ideal if you manage several properties or a team.
Test on mobile
A large share of bookings happen on smartphones. Check mobile preview before sharing your link.
If a hero photo lacks impact on small screens, crop or pick a more readable image — often the #1 conversion lever.
