Pilot: Publishing multiple Guesty listings to Booking.com

Publish multiple Guesty listings to Booking.com in a single process. This helps you sync your properties in bulk with Booking.com, reducing setup time, and simplifying onboarding for a portfolio that includes multiple units.

Before you begin

To avoid publishing errors, ensure each listing meets Booking.com’s minimum requirements before you start.

• Connect your Booking.com account to Guesty.

• Set up at least one rate plan in Guesty. 

  This enables simpler restriction management and more flexibility for revenue strategies on Booking.com.

• Verify that your listings meet Booking.com's requirements before publishing to avoid errors:
  • List the listings.
  • Configure the listing's space arrangements and amenities.
  • Verify the room type is compatible with Booking.com.
  • The listings have at least one week of availability within the next 90 days.
  • Configure taxes, additional fees, and if applicable, an extra person fee.
