New to booking.com. Predominantly using Airbnb. Still undecided about booking.com, finding the functionality is not intuitive and difficult to get communication and support with booking.com team.
Thanks BrookAve, but becoming more trouble than it's worth.
Just seems odd that all those factors don't impact on bookings through Airbnb, the list you provided don't seem to be barriers for people booking through that site?
I suspect it's seach engine related. I have the cheapest property by far, but unless you search by lowest price first I don't feature. Regardless of having 3 promotions running, secret deal, early booking incentive as well as previously having mobile rate specials.
Thank you for your help. I find that the auto generated descriptions have been very inaccurate for my property thus far. I also then find it takes quite a long time to get any of the support to team to action any request.
I have found the same thing. Many bookings via Airbnb but nothing from booking.com despite multiple promotions, early booking and late booking specials etc.
I feel it is mainly due to the lack of flexibility in being able to provide a good description of our properties due to it being pre-populated by booking.com which is often misleading.

Experiencing the same and wondering why?
Just found your post by doing a search on AirBnB. I agree, Booking.com is sooooo complicated and have had zero results so far.
Scott - I'd be interested to hear your experience this far down the track now? Did it increase your bookings? Do you still prefer Airbnb?
How can I find your property? I can't see a link in the profile, but I'm new so might be looking in the wrong place.
Thank you

Any pointers?
