How bookings work on Booking

Booking.com, or simply Booking, is an intermediary portal for your accommodation provider's bookings.

Founded in 1996 in Amsterdam, Booking.com started as a small Dutch start-up. Today it is one of the largest e-commerce companies worldwide active in the travel sector. Part of Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), Booking.com’s mission is to make the world truly accessible to everyone.

Being listed on Booking.com means receiving to date most bookings for your accommodation provider.

To register, click the following link https://join.booking.com/ and follow the guided procedure.

After entering the rooms, room availability and prices, the property is visible on Booking.com and can be booked.

To view bookings received from Booking.com, click the menu item “bookings”

and then click on the booking number to see the booking details

On this detail page you can see all the information about the booking.

Bookings can be guaranteed depending on the configuration in different ways:

• the guest pays Booking.com and Booking.com pays the hotel by bank transfer
• the guest pays on arrival at the hotel and then the hotel pays Booking.com
• the guest pays Booking.com and Booking.com provides their credit card details which the hotel can charge

For each booking the hotel can:

• report the guest's credit card as invalid
• report that the guest did not show (no show)
• change the dates and cost of the booking
