Booking.com: Manage and Create Rate Plans

This page is about the menu  (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > BOOKING.COM > MANAGE RATE PLANS  and explains how to create or manage Booking.com rate plans from Beds24.

The price sent to Booking.com is a room price for the full occupancy.

Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates can not be exported to Booking.com.

If you want to send a single price and a room price you need to ask Booking.com to activate the single price option for you. In this case you do not need an additional rate plan.

If you need prices for more occupancy levels or for example a non-refundable rate or your rate plan contains meals you can create additional rate plans

1 Add rate plan

• Click on "Add new rate plan".
• Enter a speaking name for your rate plan .
• Click on "Confirm".
• Set the "Max Occupancy", "Cancel Penalty Code" (cancellation policy), "Guarantee Payment Type" and "Meal Plan Code".

To use this function your connection need to be activated for content. If you see the error message "Access denied" your connection is not activated for content. Log into your Booking.com account and change the connection type. Then try again.
