1 What you should know and do before getting started
As a longstanding Booking.com Premier Partner Beds24 can offer you advanced functionality and many convenience functions. Once set up you can manage everything directly from Beds24 which will save you time and make working with Booking.com really easy.
Learn how the channel manager works.
If you want to export inventory (availability) Booking.com demands prices to be sent from Beds24 so you will not be able to set prices the Booking.com extranet after the connection has been enabled.
All of your prices, rooms, and bookings from other sources must be set up in Beds24 before you connect:
- The prices you want to send to Booking.com need to have Booking.com activated under "Channels"
- Beds24 can not import past booking from before Booking.com was connected as a distribution channel. You can add these manually in the Calendar, via the "Add booking" button at the top or import them from a .csv file in (SETTINGS) > PROPERTIES
- Your rooms and room types in Beds24 have to match your set up in Booking.com. If you sell rooms individually at another channel or your own website and want to sell them on Booking.com as a "room type" with a quantity of more than one you can set up virtual rooms.
1.1 Capabilities and Limitations
With this connection you can:
- send prices and availability
- send multiple prices
- add a multiplier to mark prices up or down
- create Booking.com rate plans if you want to add additional pricing options
- send restrictions
- send minimum stay
- send maximum stay
- send closed to arrival and closed to departure
- import and manage bookings
- import new bookings, modifications to bookings and cancellations (importing modifications or cancellations can be disabled for individual bookings)
- report no-shows date changes and guest misconduct to Booking.com
- report invalid cards to Booking.com. If you use Stripe you can set to automatically report invalid cards to Booking.com (go to (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER to activate this option)
- create and manage Booking.com promotions
- view reviews and react to reviews
Limitations:
- Extras taxes and fees will not automatically send or update. Set/change these in your Booking.com Extranet unless you want to manage your full Booking.com content from Beds24.
- Beds24 imports only confirmed bookings. If you have set to only accept "Requests" you will need to accept the booking in your Booking.com extranet and they will import once they are confirmed.
- Changes to availability and prices will be instantly sent to the channel. Changes to settings for example minimum stays, or quantity of rooms or the multiplier will send with the next update but you have the option to push them manually if you require an instant update.
- If linked prices are used only the price for room for which the price was set up will instantly update to the channels. All linked rooms will update with the next routine update but you have the option to push them manually if you require an instant update.
1.2 Prices for Booking.com
Our connection with Booking.com supports Occupancy Pricing (OBP) so Beds24 can send a price for each occupancy defined in your prices in Beds24. We will automatically set all newly connected properties to "Occupancy Pricing (OBP)" which also allows you to just send one price per day for the full occupancy.
- If you use Daily Prices, a price for each date and occupancy will be sent. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price in the daily price will send. See this tutorial on how to use daily prices.
- If you use Fixed Prices, 1 person, 2 person and room price will send. The room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple fixed prices with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the Fixed Prices can not be sent.
- If you currently use RLO (derived) prices for different occupancies on Booking.com:
- If you want to keep RLO pricing, the Beds24 prices you want to send to Booking.com need to to be the right price for "base number of guests" in Booking.com so Booking.com can calculate correctly.
- If you want to send prices for different occupancies from Beds24, contact Booking.com and ask them to remove all linked prices. Then change your pricing model in Beds24 to "Occupancy Pricing".
Prices for dorms
For dorms Booking.com requires the bed price be sent to them as the room price. They do not accept a single price for a dorm. Therefore we will have to manually adjust your pricing model. If you want to send a single price for other rooms you can create additional rate plans for single use in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM > RATE PLANS.
2 Connect a property on Booking.com to a property in Beds24 to synchronize prices, availability and bookings
This channel has a very specific activation process that must be followed carefully. Click on "Expand" to view the details for each step.
Step 1: Initiate the connection in Booking.com
1. Click on the "Connect to Booking.com" button to login to Booking.com then go to ACCOUNT > CONNECTIVITY PROVIDER. If you have a Booking.com group account log to Booking.com and go to ACCOUNT > CONNECTIVITY PROVIDER and select Beds24 as channel manager from there.
2. Search for Beds24.
3. Tick all tick boxes.
4. Complete the rest of the on screen instructions.
For a two-way connection you need to select both "Reservations" and "Rates and Availability". Beds24 can then export inventory to Booking.com and import bookings from Booking.com. If you select only "Reservations" or only "Rates and Availability" you only have a "one-way" connection meaning the action you did not select must be manually maintained by you.
Step 2: Enter your Booking.com property ID
- Copy your Booking.com hotel ID and paste it into the "Hotel Id " field
- Press SAVE
Step 3: Map your rooms
- Click on the "Get Codes" link next to the room id setting, a list of room Ids will be retrieved from Booking.com and displayed
- Choose the Booking.com room you want to map to the Beds24 room and click on it
- Check the correct room Id has been copied to the room id setting
- Press Save
Step 4: Map your Booking.com rate plans
1. If you have only one Booking.com rate plan
- Click on the "Get Codes" link next to the rate id setting and a list of rate Ids will be retrieved from Booking.com for the saved room id
- Choose the Booking.com rate plan and click on it
- Check the rate plan Id has been copied to the rate plan Id setting
- Press SAVE
2. If you have more than one Booking.com rate plan
- Click on the "Get Code" link next to the rate id setting and a list of rate Ids will be retrieved from Booking.com for the saved room id
- Choose the Booking.com standard rate plan
- Check the rate plan Id has been copied to the rate plan Id setting
- Press Save
- Open the prices (PRICES > Daily Prices/Fixed Prices) which you want to send your other Booking.com rate plans
- Click on "Get Codes" and choose the Booking.com rate plan you want to update with this price
- Check the rate plan Id has been copied to the rate plan Id setting
- Press SAVE
Step 5: Enable rooms
- Scroll down to the rooms and set "Enable" = Enabled
- If you have multiple room types repeat for each room
- Press SAVE
Step 6: Set a multiplier to mark your prices up or down or for currency conversion (optional)
You can add a multiplier to your prices, add a * followed by the multiplier number in the "Multiplier" field
Examples:
- *1.23 will multiply all prices by 1.23 (i.e. raised by 23%).
- Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1: *0.85 will send 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%).
- To convert the price of bookings imported from the channel add a * AFTER the multiplier. *1.23* will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.
- For currency conversion you can also use currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
- *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
- *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]* will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros and back to Indonesian Rupees on the import.
Step 7: Import upcoming bookings
- Click on the "Import Existing Bookings" button to import upcoming bookings from Booking.com. We can then import 10 bookings. Repeat if you have more
- If you have bookings from Airbnb and/or Expedia you can import them directly from the channel as well
- If you have bookings from other sources you can add these manually in the Calendar, via the "Add booking" button at the top or import them from a .csv file in (SETTINGS) > PROPERTIES
- If you want to close additional dates or limit check-in and/or check-out you can use the "Override" function in the Calendar
Step 8: Check what will send to Booking.com
- Click on the "Price Data" Button to check which prices and availability will send.
- If you have multiple room types repeat for each room.
Step 9: Activate the connection
When you activate the connection Booking.com will remove your prices and availability from their system and replace them with the prices and availability sent from the channel manager.
You can activate the connection when your mapping and prices are correct and you have added all upcoming bookings.
- Press "Activate Connection" and then "Activate Connection Now".
Then you can import booking details to update the booking summary information.
- Click 'Import Existing bookings' button and check the booking details have been updated.
Beds24 will automatically reopen rooms when you have availability. If you have Auto-Replenishment enabled, Booking.com will not wait for the update sent from Beds24 but will automatically re-open the closed room when a guest cancels even if you have a booking from another source. You can opt-out of the feature by following these steps:
- Log into your Booking.com account
- Click on the Rates & Availability tab
- Go to the Settings symbol on the top-right corner of your Calendar
- Click on Auto-Replenishment
- Under Calendar Settings, click "No" to turn off the Auto-Replenishment feature

4 Troubleshooting
4.1 Common issues
Each Booking.com room id is unique and can be mapped to only one room in Beds24. If you enter the same Booking.com room id more than once the room updates will overwrite each other causing inaccurate information being sent to Booking.com which will cause overbookings.
During the Setup of your connection, click on 'Get the Booking.com Room and Rate Codes for this "Property Code"'
You will see the list of Rooms/Rate codes returned from Booking.com. If Booking.com does not make any rooms available. If you are sure you have rooms please forward the RUID to Booking.com support and ask them to check why they do not return any rooms.
The channel manager will close the room on all dates which do not have a valid price available for sending to Booking.com. Make sure you have prices for the complete range of dates you are sending (1 year or 2 years).
Ensure you do not have any special characters in the message text that could fail the Booking.com Security checks. (For example do not use * or @ in the message text).
When Booking.com sends the credit card number it will be available in the "Payments and Charges" tab of the booking unless it has been stored in a third party system such as Stripe. The encoded CVC number is available from the booking notification email sent to the host as the line labelled Security Code. Enter the Security Code value from the email into the booking to view the CVC.
- If there is no Security Code item in the host notification email, the CVC was not collected or sent for this booking. Booking.com may sometimes withhold the credit card number or CCV unless you specifically request they are sent to you. Contact your Booking.com rep if this is occurring and you require this information.
- If credit card details are always missing and you require them, please ask Booking.com to collect and send credit card details to Beds24
- If Booking.com normally sends credit card details but did not do so for a specific booking and you always want a card as security, please ask Booking.com to exclusively accept bookings with a credit card number.
If you need to close a rate at Booking.com, make the rate id unbookable at Beds24, for example by closing the room or removing the price and wait for it to update at Booking.com. Only once the rate has closed at Booking.com it is safe to remove it from Beds24.
You can close a rate at booking.com by making sure there is no price for it on the dates to close in Beds24. As long as the rate has at least a price for 1 day in the next year, all the other dates without prices will be closed.
If you have multiple rates at booking.com, the other rates can continue to be available by giving them prices.
Note that if there is no price on any day at all for a rate, this will not necessarily close the rate, in this case no information will be sent and whatever data is in Booking.com will remain. Tip Click on the "View Price Data" Button to check which prices and availability will send.
4.2 Error messages
Any errors reported by Booking.com will be emailed to you with the error message as returned by Booking.com. The error message usually includes information about the date, rate or room with the problem and a brief description. Below are common error messages and how to fix them.
Check if you have received a notification from Booking.com that the connection is ready.
- If not please check in the Booking.com extranet that the connection has been requested.
- If yes please check the Booking.com hotel id you have entered is correct and does not have blank spaces.
- Click on "Connection Status" to check that the connection is properly activated.

6 FAQ
Beds24 can handle multiple properties in one account. You will need a property in Beds24 for each property you have on Booking.com so you can connect them so each Booking.com property ID or hotel ID requires one property in Beds24.
The system can handle multiple properties in one account. It doesn't matter whether the Booking.com properties are in different Booking.com accounts.
After you activate the channel manager the channel will stop sending notifications. You will receive an Email notification from Beds24 instead and you will also see new bookings on your dashboard provided you use the "Latest Bookings" module.
The channel confirms the booking with the guest. Beds24 will not sent an additional confirmation message to the guest. If you want to send an additional confirmation or welcome message for the guest you can set up an Auto Action Email.
You can request Booking.com to cancel the booking or report changed stay dates from the "Details" tab of the bookings.
Otherwise bookings coming from a channel should be modified by the channel. Just changing the status of a booking in Beds24 to "Cancelled" will not cancel the booking in Booking.com and can cause a double booking.
If for some reason you need to make a change in Beds24 and do not want an update from the channel to override it, you can set "Allow Channel Modifications" = No ("Details" tab of the booking"). If you have changed the room you can set "Allow Channel Modifications" = All except room changes. If you do this you will need to manage all changes manually.
This is how you can view credit card details. Booking.com may sometimes withhold the credit card number or CCV unless you specifically request they are sent to you. Contact Booking.com support if this is occurring and you require this information to always be sent.
You can set up promotions directly in Beds24 in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > BOOKING.COM > PROMOTIONS or in the Booking.com extranet.

- If you have Auto-Replenishment enabled, Booking.com will not wait for the update sent from Beds24 but will automatically re-open the closed room when a guest cancels even if you have a booking from another source. You can opt-out of the feature by following these steps:
- Log into your Booking.com account
- Click on the Rates & Availability tab
- Go to the Settings symbol on the top-right corner of your Calendar
