There is no processing time. You should check if you have tagged all the photos and joined them with the correct room type so that it improves your content score. Also, check if the resolution of the photos is enough. B.com’s requirement is a minimum of 1280 x 900 pixels (1.15 megapixels).
I do not think there is a way to restrict some countries from booking, but you can definitely use Visibility Booster tool to boost visibility in countries you want the guests from in specific months that you want. The feature is in the ‘Opportunities’ tab in the Extranet.
If you are able to process CCs then you should charge your guest's credit card in accordance with your policy. If you are using 'Payment by Booking.com' then B.com will take care of this for you.
We let B.com at this point to advertise for us. We also use Facebook organic reach. We experimented with AdWords, but B.com lobby is too high for us to pop up high in the search. So far, regarding paid marketing, Facebook Ads worked the best. We usually combine Fb Ads with some kind of discount for booking directly.
How do you advertise? We were thinking of the next step to be video showcase on Youtube or Facebook so that potential guests get a better grasp of the property and the destination.
‘Payments by Booking.com’ are available worldwide. They just need to be manually unlocked in your Extranet by B.com Financial Department. You do need, however, to be a cash only property in order for this request to go through. Also, I would like to add that we have a prepayment policy of 30% of the total reservation amount and this has not decreased the number of bookings. In fact, it increased them and decreased cancellations and no-shows.
