Troubleshooting: Missing or failed Booking.com listings when linking

During the linking process, some Booking.com listings may not appear in the selection menu, or they may return a "Failed" status. This typically occurs due to mismatched unit structures, inactive property settings, or configuration errors on the Booking.com extranet.

Follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

Resolve missing Booking.com listings

If a listing does not appear when you try to link it, check the following requirements:

  1. Check property status: Ensure the property in Guesty is active and listed. Inactive or unlisted properties won't appear.
  2. Verify unit hierarchy: Verify that you aren't trying to link sub-units in Booking.com directly to a Hotel ID in Guesty. You must link sub-units to its multi-unit.
  3. Match unit quantities: Confirm that the number of units in Booking.com exactly matches the number of units in Guesty. Mismatched quantities block the connection.
  4. Verify unit structure: Ensure you organize your Booking.com unit structure correctly.
