Hi Anna,
As BrookeAve reported, you can request a video verification to move the process along quicker. Please reach out to Partner Services. You can find their number under Inbox > Booking.com messages > See contact options then select any option > Other > See all contact options.
Thanks!
Dear Janita,
We are having the same problem. We were told that verification codes are no longer send out "because of covid"(???). There is also no longer the possibility to upload a video. We get a lot of sympathy via messages and telephone, but this does not change anything. The 25 days mentioned for verification are now more than 125 days allready. So it's not working fine and quite frustating after having worked hard to get the location up and running ánd providing all the necessary information to hit a dead end all the time.
Best regards,
Hans
125 days!!! We were told to expect 10 days for this to be completed, and it's been over 30 already but 125 days is crazy. I'm seeking legal advice in 48hrs if the situation remains unresolved. I believe BDC are in breach of contract.
Hi Janita. When we asked for this from the Partner Services team, they said they were no longer offering this. How would this work in practice in any event?
Hi Julian,
I am not able to help with specific listings I am sorry, but in the past there have been colleagues who do a video call with the owner of the listing to be taken around to prove that the property does exist and there is no fraudulent behaviour.
Hi Hans,
I can understand your frustration and I am sorry to hear about the delay.
The method I suggested was for you to have a video verification call with an Outbound Executive from Booking.com as opposed to uploading your own video.
Please send through a request for this via the method above and as soon as someone is available they should be able to arrange a time with you.
Thanks!
Thanks Janita,
Frustration is the right word. The suggestions here on the forum are all fine, but they are not being followed up once you send a direct message.
No help whatsoever, over more than 5 months. Nobody can explain what the problem is, our profile is 100% filled. Only waiting for the verification…
and waiting….
and waiting…
Hi Hans,
Unfortunately the processes can differ a little from country to country. Sorry for the wait but the team in your country should be able to assist with an alternative verification method. Can you kindly try giving them a call if they are not responding to your messages.
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,

Please take a look at another thread where this issue is causing problems for others too: "Account disabled after property listing"
Please follow another post, where I am adding additional details that may help to lead to redress: "Account disabled after property listing"
Account disabled after property listing | Booking.com for Partners
This is a very common problem. Please hear the voices of these partners now. How will you get commission if I can't do business?
I also have the same issue... booking.com is so pathetic in this... my property is in closed status for more than 45 days now... no responds... simple asking me to be patient....
they say they dont have people to do the work.***
Waste of time in talking to booking.com
Waste of time in mailing them and you will get standard mails.. ask to be patience... they really do not know the meaning of patience. they are trying to make us patient only. My BP has gone high while talking to these people.. simply waste of time. AIRBNB is much better. they did everything online.
I fought with customer care last 45day and lost hope.... their answer is to be patience.
Even a person from Mars could have come by walk and complete the verification. This is something else... They had so many issues in the application. 1st they could not bring any one live 3 months back. now they having this issue. This is something bigger than we thought..
To keep this post updated, we had our property(ies) verified in the UK yesterday, via a WhatsApp Video Call. We were told that this wasn't something that BDC did anymore, but 45+ days down the line, I received a call from Russia asking to set up the call the following day. We also received a separate email, asking us to schedule the call in. The lady was great. Essentially, we just needed to show her the building name on the outside, the building itself and then the interior. She was taking screen gabs to compare with the photos on our listing. Satisfying herself that they were in fact one and the same, the listings were reopened within 10 minutes (you have to manually click a blue button in the Extranet to reopen it, but the option was up there immediately after the call). Not sure why we were verified before others who have clearly been waiting much longer, but we did kick up quite a fuss and submitted a formal complaint, and threatened legal action, as well as other avenues. No idea if that had anything to do with the outcome, but I would suggest you keep calling every day and continue to press home the urgency of your situation.
Thanks for this description and update. We were offered the video call, went to a lot of trouble to arrange for our property manager to be at the property for the two specific dates and times agreed. We live in a different country to our property so rely on our local manager. Bdc then rang at a completely different time when the manager was no longer there (she has other properties and jobs to go to). Then every time we call we were told that we hadn't answered the call, after that, we were then told they don't do prearranged appointments for the video call and only a generic time to call (Mornings or Afternoons). Sounds like an old Soviet operation. By the way, this verification was not done at the outset, so BDC took bookings and we have had guests how have reviewed (so clearly we are where we say we are on the advert!). At this stage now going to a formal complaint. Six weeks now (told ten days, then 21 days, than 25 days....).
