5 common operational questions (contact details, restrictions, payments, availability, password)

Hi everyone!

Many of you reach out to our support teams to ask questions about similar topics. Sometimes it can take a while for our agents to respond to everyone - so to make things easier for you, I went ahead and put some of the recurring questions (and some helping materials) into this post.

In no particular order:

Q: How to change my contact details?

A: The extranet might be daunting, but changing your contact details is very straightforward and can be completed very quickly. Instructions here.

Q: How to set restrictions?

A: This depends on the type of restrictions you have in mind. There are many types of reservation restrictions, and you can find supporting information for each of them in this list.

Q: How do payments work?

A: If you’re on Payments by Booking (or would like to join) - this FAQ put together by the Help team can answer most of your questions.

Q: How to add, close, and open a room?

A: Setting up rooms is very easy (and the same process applies to units as well, of course). This article goes into more detail for each scenario.

Q: How to reset a password?

A: Few things are as frustrating as losing your password and having to reset it. We put the best instructions we could think of in this page.

Hi, M Adamopoulou! So did I get it right - you had a problem with the edit button but now it works for you, right? But you still don't receive email notifications?

closed/not bookableHello. I don't know what happened to our profile. At the beginning of the show closed / not bookable. We did not work for several years, now we have resumed operations, posted prices and availability, added photos. The other 5 rooms are currently being furnished and their descriptions will be available as soon as we finish. In addition, we have changed the bank and payment details, however, by logging in to booking.com, we are offered to create a new profile there. Maybe we need to sign a new contract? Thanks in advance for your help. Respectfully,

Good Day Surgei.

We had our first booking through booking.com on the 26th of June 2021, Booking confirmation — ***, yet on our finance tab there is no trace of payment or that it is going to get paid on our getting paid tab? I did call your finance department number but since it's a robo-operator, i cant find the answers i'm looking for.

Is there a possibility for you to assist me with this matter?

Hi, I'm trying to set restrictions for 1 days advance notice for bookings. I've tried following the instructions but in the Calendar when I select Restrictions, the option to set advance notice isn't available (just min and max length of stays). Can you help? I've closed all my rooms until this is resolved as just had a guest turn up totally unexpectedly when a room wasn't ready! Nightmare :(

Hi  Carol

yep thats right as not all fields are enabled by default.

 

to sort it you simply request all calendar hidden fields be enabled aka extended fields.

send message or phone Partner Support.

 

its all covered in my digest article :Managing Availability by BrookAve

Hi Sergei,

Thanks for the advice. You missed the most important one: 

How do you get your property verified. We have  now been trying for months to do this. It seems impossible to do this. 

We get lots of sympathy from BdC staff via messaging and telephone. Loads of promises that it will be arranged in 2/4/7/14 days. Please bear with us. etc. etc.. But no solutions. 

What is the magic trick to get verified?

Hi Sergei, I’m new to the site. I’m trying to set up my bank details on the site. I’m in UK but it gives me no option to add my UK phone number, only US option. Also it’s asking me for a Social Security Number that I don’t have either. Any help ?
