Our Property Referral Program lets you refer friends to list their properties on Booking.com – and save money on your own commission as a reward. On top of that, your friends get to save on their commission, too. 

The Property Referral Program is only available in the United States, Australia, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, United Kingdom, and for select partners.


 

Understanding the Property Referral Program

When you refer a friend to list their property on our platform, both you and that friend are eligible to receive five commission-free bookings, up to a maximum value of €200.

You'll be rewarded for the first 10 friends who list their properties and receive a booking. This means you can receive a total reward of up to €2,000 in commission-free bookings.

Keep in mind that depending on your region, the value of your reward may vary and/or be paid according to the equivalent amount in local currency.

FAQs


 

    1. Log in to the Extranet.
    2. Click the Opportunities tab.
    3. Look for the Commission-free bookings option in the drop-down menu. If the option doesn’t appear, it means you aren’t eligible at this time. Stay tuned as we roll out the option to more countries.
  • To get your unique referral link and share it with your friends, just follow these steps:

    1. Log in to the Extranet.
    2. Click the Opportunities tab.
    3. Select Commission-free bookings.
    4. Copy the unique website link provided.
    5. Send the link to friends or accommodation providers you know.

    You can also share the referral link on social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn to reach a wider network. Just remember to mention the benefit for them – their first five bookings will be commission free.

    Your friends can then use your referral link to start the registration process and list their properties on Booking.com. Your unique referral link is tracked by our system, so you can be sure that you and your friend will receive your rewards.

    For you and your friend to be eligible, they need to complete their registration and make their property bookable within 30 days of starting the process.

    Once your friend’s property is live and bookable, they’ll have 90 days to receive their first booking. If this happens, both you and your friend are eligible to receive five commission-free bookings.

    Once you reach five commission-free bookings per referred property (max. 10 properties) or earn your maximum commission savings, you’ll no longer be eligible for program rewards. However, you can continue to refer new friends, since they can still receive their commission-free bookings when they join.

     

  • You can refer friends with apartments, houses, B&Bs, campsites, and more. On Booking.com, you can list any type of property for any length of time, whether it’s available year-round or just while the owner is on vacation.

  • You’ll receive and pay your monthly invoice as usual. Within one month, we’ll issue separate credit notes to cover your commission savings, up to a maximum value of €200 (or the equivalent in your region and/or currency) per referred property (max. 10 properties).

    You can view the details of your commission-free bookings under the Reservations tab, or in the Commission-free bookings section of theOpportunities tab.
