How to make my property online and bookable?

Hi Partner Community,

I would like to highlight an important topic for many partners who are trying to get their properties online/bookable as soon as possible. Here three easy steps to follow:

Step 1: Register your property. This how you can do it: how to receive and use your location verification code.

Step 2: After you have registered your property, check to make sure you didn’t miss any important information before you go live. Here is a handy checklist.

Step 3. Have you already checked everything? Looks good? Now let’s make your property live. 

And that’s it. Did you find any of the steps confusing or complicated? Please let us know in the comments below! 

Bonus tip for you:

One of the most experienced Booking.com partners (M Adamopoulou) I know runs a beautiful holiday home in Greece. Their review level is 9.9, which is truly exceptional. Here is how they get excellent reviews. 

UPDATE! Now you can save the article and quickly find it in your profile in the "saved" tab. Just click the "heart" symbol below.

Sergei and the Community team

Hello, and wetting the Community Partner!

 

Check your restrictions…make sure your room status is not 0.

 

If you cannot fix it call your local BDC office to check your calendar.

 

Wish you a great season…

Hello, 

I had registered my apartments couple of weeks ago. Still waiting for letter with location verification code. Is there any other way to confirm location? I'm afraid our local post service is not reliable...

Hello,

Please contact the Partner Services team directly if you want someone to help you with your specific listing. I would suggest calling as you said you have been waiting a while now. Verifications can differ depending on country. We are still doing postal verifications but I saw someone in this forum said they stopped doing mail in their country. Kindly call the phone number in your extranet so the team can advise on your specific country. 

You can give them a call via your extranet under Inbox > Booking.com messages. From here you will either see a ‘Contact Us’ button or ‘See Contact Options’  then under contact us select the relevant topic > Other > then click ‘See all contact Options > Message or Call.

Kind regards,
C.Chin

Hello Peter, 

As I understood they don't send letters anymore. At least to my country. I got contact to them by phone and they checked/verified my property by WhatsApp video call. Next day it was online and bookable.

Good luck!

Good evening. Looks like I'm still missing ***. I added my appartmentdetails, address, pictures, rates, etc., but I still can't see the appartment on the Booking list. Anything additional that I should do maybe?

Thanks! Karina.

Hi Karina, 

I just followed their instructions:

Call us

If you have an urgent question about your property or your partnership with us, you can also call us. To find a dedicated phone number to call, log in to the extranet, click on Inbox and then click on Booking.com messages. We don’t publish these phone numbers here because we only offer this service to current partners.

Good luck!

Hi Karina,

I hope you're well. We don't actually have access to seeing your property on this forum and you can't share your property ID on here either so I would suggest calling the partner services team and asking them to see if you're missing anything. Have you gone through all the settings like facilities and services and amenities? If you go to the HOME tab, is there a 'open my property' button? If not, best to call the partner services team. You can compose a message or give them a call via your extranet under Inbox > Booking.com messages. From here you will either see a ‘Contact Us’ button or ‘See Contact Options’  then under contact us select the relevant topic > Other > then click ‘See all contact Options > Message or Call.

Kind regards,
C.Chin

Step 1 - this fails sometimes - people are unable to complete property registrations due to bugs in the Booking.com systems - we have started registering 6 properties but cannot complete the registrations due to the bugs in Booking.com .........

If your property is already registered and live online. Only 3 important things that needs to be done by you in order to make it available and bookable.

1. Set how many rooms your are offering

2. Set the base price.

3. Set the room to Open.

Set all your available amenities

Even if you done setting number 1 & 3 and you forgot number 2. It will appear in the website not bookable.

Hope this help.

Hello there,

I'm have a guest Flatlette and recently added it to Booking.com.  however after a month of being open and receiving bookings.  My profile was closed/not bookable because of my location Verification code that I had not received.  I read it will be sent by post.  I live in Cape Town, South Africa and our postal service is unreliable or just not in use.  Is there another way for me to receive my location verification code please.

Thank you

Debby

Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve for a week. My property is registered and ready for booking with all details listed. I am connected to the extranet and it says that the rooms are ready for reservations - I have noted prices and availability - everything. When I enter Booking - it says that there is no availability for these dates. Please help because it's our booking season right now !
