Choosing the best connectivity provider for you
Premier providers
Connectivity partners make it easier for properties to offer rooms and units through different online travel agencies (OTAs) such as Booking.com. We work with more than 600 partners who help properties automate pricing and availability without having to use different OTAs’ platforms. They do this by offering a centralized point for controlling rooms, reservations, and channels.
These partners also offer other kinds of products. They range from property management systems and booking engines to website builders and revenue managers. Some providers also offer solutions that cater to the specific distribution models of certain property types.
To help you choose the one that will best meet your needs, we identify the top-performing providers through our Connectivity Partner Program. These are our Premier partners. To become one, partners must earn a certain amount of points in the program. Partners can earn points in many different ways:
- They need to have a fair number of properties in their portfolio that generate a decent amount of business. That way we can verify the effectiveness of their connectivity solution based on our properties’ experiences. In general, the more properties or business generated, the more can be points earned.
- They need to implement a certain number of Booking.com features. That way we can be sure properties will have access to as many as possible when using the connectivity partner’s interface instead of our Extranet. These features allow properties to set up promotions, report invalid credit cards, manage their content, photos, rooms, rates, and much more. Again, the more features implemented, the more potential points can be earned.
- They need to develop a quality connection with Booking.com so properties get a reliable and bug-free user experience.
- They need to be closely engaged with our platform so they can advise properties for a seamless onboarding experience and optimize their performance on our platform.
