Genius, an opportunity for hotels to receive more bookings

Genius is a marketing programme designed to help hotels be found by their most valuable guests and generate more bookings and revenue.

About 75% of Genius bookings come from Booking.com partners, so if you're not in the programme, you have less chance of attracting these guests.

How to join?

Not all hotels can access Genius; the following rules must be met:

• The hotel must be open and bookable
• At least three guest reviews.
• Maintain an average review score of 7.5 (may vary in some cities)

Join the programme
Once you receive the invitation to participate, you only need to offer a 10% discount on your cheapest and/or best-selling accommodation.

Gain more visibility
You will immediately gain more visibility and be helped to highlight your property thanks to the Genius logo, specific filters, and dedicated marketing campaigns.

Grow your business
Generate more bookings and revenue through Genius and continually optimise your performance by targeting the most exclusive Genius guests.
