• Working together with Booking.com

How does Booking.com work for property owners?

Updated 1 month ago

Are you interested in becoming a Booking.com partner and adding your hotel, property or holiday rental to the almost 29 million listings already live on our platform? Great! Here’s how the Booking.com business model works:

Booking.com BV (“Booking.com”) provides online reservation services. We act as an intermediary (agent) between guests wanting to make an accommodation reservation and your hotel, property or temporary/holiday rental. This type of business model is also known as an ‘agency model’.

It’s important to remember that the agreement is made directly between you and the guest. Unlike other accommodation reservation websites, Booking.com is not a contracting party in the transaction between your property and the guest. That way, you have full control over your rates and availability, and can offer guests more transparency on your house rules, policies and overall offering.

The guest pays the reservation rate to you after their stay, or earlier in the case of a non-refundable booking. You have an agreement with Booking.com for using the online reservation platform and you have to pay Booking.com a set commission amount on all confirmed stays, non-refundable reservations and partially refundable reservations made on our platform. Each month, you receive an invoice detailing how much commission is due.

We don't add anything to your prices. Unlike other platforms that charge guests extra fees, the price you set is the price we display on Booking.com. And you only pay if we generate business for you – there are no added sign-up or listing costs.

Note: When a guest makes a booking through the Booking.com platform, their reservation is confirmed immediately. So it’s generally not possible to reject a reservation, except for certain situations.

How & Why Add your Listing to your Partner Community Profile

Hi Susan,

• For now you can simply record with your smart phone,
• then create a youtube account
• Upload and mark it was unlisted, this makes it only available to those with the link.
• Copy the short link for sharing
• Open the Fine Print, and try add it there as Walkthrough: Youtube - LINK I dont know if they filter urls in Fine print. You could also add it to the top / first line of your Auto Message Template for New Reservations.
•  
•  
• Also use the new FaQ to ask the question: Does your property have a YouTube Walkthrough? Now answer you own question and provide the link. again not sure if urls are filtered but its one way to find out. Let us know how you get on. Kind Regards.

How & Why Add your Listing to your Partner Community Profile

It depends and how you have setup and structured your rate plans.

What I did was base Monthly  as - Managed By Calendar

Then I worked out how much I would need to be taking in each month for one room. Now add the % fees on top of that (commission+ payment gateway)

e.g. 600 +18% = 708 a month eur

now in your new monthly rate plan , set the max stay to 28, (since shortest month is 28 days)

You might want to consider two Monthly Plans also.

OffPeak  Monthly and Peak Monthly

Using this method you have more control  versus using the other method of x% cheaper than Nightly Rate.

For that method assuming Night is NR and 99eur

99 x 28 =2772, so now lets say minimum you want for 28days is 2000

99-30 - 69 , x28 =1932 eur   so you would set the discount as minus 28 eur

give you 2016eur

note:  this does not factor in expenses nor commission.

Hi

So lets dive right in :

1. "the booking fees directly from my customers" Nope, thats not a thing never has been and never will be. 100% not true.  
2. Waiting on first payout Have you actually completed all requirements for BdC? Have you setup Payments By BdC? These days its weekly for PbB payout on thursdays all reservations marked as checkout day passed get processed automatically. The typical reason for no payout is you have an outstanding action to perform.  
3. Thumbs down on helpful comments or others trying to help Not Cool, shame on you, you will not last long as a partner nor on here with that crappy attitude. What M Adamopoulou said is 100% correct. Not liking the answer you get and doing that , its like a spoilt brat not getting what he wants.  

Hi Filip Žigić

I just read the above 3 times and there is no actual question anywhere in it, at least not in english ?

I only see statements.

So Filip Žigić what is the actual question you wanted to ask.

Kind Regards
