You need a Booking.com group account if you want to send properties to  Booking.com. Booking.com group accounts have a "Group Home" tab.
  
<span class="circle" >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note </span> Make sure your property address, latitude and longitude are correct because this can not be changed later.

You need a Booking.com group account if you want to send properties to an existing Booking.com account.
 
  
Booking.com group accounts have a "Group Home" tab. If you do not see a "Group Home" tab when you log into Booking.com you do not have a group account. If you do not have a group account contact Booking.com support and ask them to create a group account for you.

Booking.com: Create new properties and rooms
This page is about the menu  (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > BOOKING.COM > CONTENT and explains how to create properties and rooms on Booking.com directly from Beds24.
Use these instructions if you want to import properties from Booking.com to Beds24.

1 What you should know and do before getting started

If you have a Booking.com group account you can request to send properties and rooms directly from Beds24 to Booking.com. This function is only available for verified Beds24 accounts. The verification process will start when you perform Step 1 from the instructions below.

Alternatively you can create the properties in Booking.com first and then map them to your property in Beds24. Use these instructions on how to map.

1.1 Minimum Requirements

If you do not meet these minimum requirements Booking.com will not set your listing live:

  1. Booking.com requires a complete address, phone number, latitude and longitude.
  2. You need to have at least one amenity per room.
  3. Bed configuration needs to be specified for each bedroom.
  4. Property titles can not have numeric codes and non-latin characters. Only use A-Z.
  5. Photos with a minimum size of 1024 x 683 px. No watermarks, logos or contact details.
  6. You need a cancellation policy.
  7. If you need a license number you need to enter it in Beds24 so we can send it.

1.2 Rate Plans and Prices

The pricing model for properties sent from Beds24 is Occupancy (OBP). This allows you to send prices for different occupancies.

One rate plan is created. The rate ID gets auto populated in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > BOOKING.COM > MAPPING.

If you need more rate plans for example a for different occupancies, a non-refundable rate or your rate plan contains meals you can create additional rate plans in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > BOOKING.COM > RATE PLANS.

Price in which "Booking.com" is ticked will send.

Click on the "View Actual Data" Button to check which prices and availability will send.

For information on advanced price options click here.

1.3 Limitations

  • Descriptions can not be sent to Booking.com. They will create descriptions for you.
  • Extra fees and taxes can not be included in the accommodation price.
  • Following information can not be sent. You need to add them directly in you Booking.com extranet. If you need assistance ask Booking.com support to assist you.
    • "Nearest" features
    • Extra bed options
    • Extra child options
    • Security deposit
    • Prepayment
    • How to arrive texts
    • Added attractions
    • Transit texts

2 Step by Step Guide to send a new property from Beds24 to Booking.com

This will create a new property on Booking.com. If you already have a property on Booking.com us these instructions for information on how to connect it to synchronise prices and availability.

Exporting a property is a complex process so the instructions need to be followed carefully. Click on "Expand" to view the details for each step.

Step 1: Store your legal entity ID

You need a Booking.com group account if you want to send properties to Booking.com. Booking.com group accounts have a "Group Home" tab.

1. If you see a "Group Home" tab when you log into Booking.com

Start a support ticket via the SUPPORT button in the top left of your control panel with your legal entity ID. We will then store it for you.

2. If you do not see a "Group Home" tab when you log into Booking.com

  • Click on "Request Legal Entity ID"
  • Check your the corporate information available in Beds24 is correct. If required adjust it.
  • Click on "Send Request"

This will trigger Booking.com to send you a contract. Check your Email address and sign the contract.

Until you have connected at least on property you will see the message "Partner Card not found for the given data" when you click on "Check Status". You can ignore this message because Booking.com recognises the connection between the legal entity ID and Beds24 only after you have made an interface request and/or sent an accommodation.

Step 2: Check your content meets Booking.coms requirements
