Why do I have unwanted extra amenities in Expedia?

It may sometimes happen that you notice unwanted amenities added to your properties in Expedia, which are not selected for your property in Rentals United. It is possible due to the fact that Expedia automated content system is capable of reading and adding amenities/attributes to listings if it is found in the free text.

You may be using some standard forms across all your properties, for example arrival instructions which mention a pool. In this case, Expedia content system may pick up the pool amenity from the free text and add it automatically to the listing, even though the amenity is not added to the property itself.

Tip: Hosts should be careful to ensure the information within the free text should apply only to the actual property to avoid adding unwanted amenities by Expedia.
