Connect to Booking.com

Why connect to Booking.com?

Booking.com is a leading online travel agency and one of our most popular channels, and with more than 28 million listings worldwide, connecting to it can significantly boost your property’s reservations, revenue, and visibility.

The Enhanced Sync feature makes it easy to map to Booking.com. You can manage your property’s room types and room rates via Little Hotelier without needing to log into Booking.com.

Important notes

  • Booking.com has a maximum inventory update period of 545 days

  • By default, Little Hotelier sends minimum and maximum stay restrictions to Booking.com as ‘through’ rather than ‘on arrival’. To change this, enable the ‘Use length of stay on arrival’ setting in your channel settings

  • Enhanced sync: When enabled, your room type and room rate updates will be centrally managed via our platform and certain settings will be synced to Booking.com, including rate plan settings and room type details
