We are a married couple living in private family house in Belgrade, capital of Serbia.
Alexa is an astrophysist and science promoter.
Goldie is working at the TV company as video editor and programme coordinator.
Before discovering Booking.com, we hosted a lot of friends from various countries. Now, we would like to offer our property to wider community of travellers.
Policies does not work in practice. Unfortunatelly, Booking does not have efficient way to handle this as Airbnb does, so you have to forget this money.
For future reservations, we suggest the following:
After each new booking, ask guest to make a prepayment in order to keep the reservation. You can ask 30%, half, full amount, or whatever you like. You can set automatic message with prepayment instruction that will be sent after each reservation to keep it.
If the guest does not pay in given time (e.g. 24 or 48 hours), feel free to cancel the reservation and release the slot for others. Here, you can select the reason for cancellation that guest did not pay.
Very common! Unfortunatelly, Booking does not have efficient way to handle this problem as Airbnb does, so you have to deal with this on your own.

Here, at Partner Community, there isn't any way to know this. The only way is to ask that accommodation. If, for some reason, reservation was not complete, just book again while these dates are still available.
Go to Calendar -> Sync calendars -> Add calendar connection
Here you need to do two steps. First step is to import from Airbnb to Booking. In the next step (Export calendar) you will find the required link. Copy it and paste into corresponding place at Airbnb.
No. Cancelling future reservations will not harm Booking, but yourself. Booking is a large company, not currently in debt/bankrupcy, so eventually they will pay. When? We don't know. So my suggestion is to wait - after all, you will be very happy when you get all these at once :)
In the meantime, charge guests directly. After each booking, ask them to pay by bank transfer directly to your bank account. Taking cash upon arrival is also an option.
I think that it's not possible to see messages that Booking sent to guests. Only those that are made between you and BdC.
But actually, messages that are sent to guests are anyway automatic. So ask some guest or someone who you are familiar with to provide you these messages from guest's side. I'm absolutely sure that they are of the same type, so you will know what is exchanged between Booking and guests.

Ah, OK! I understand.
