Linking a Booking.com listing

After you connect your Booking.com account to Guesty, you can connect your Booking.com listings in two ways:

Publish your Guesty properties to Booking.com. Create a new property or use an existing property in Guesty and add it to your Booking.com account.
Link your existing properties in Guesty to your existing listings in Booking.com.

This article explains how to link your Booking.com listings to Guesty.

The default connection type for a linked listing is rates & availability sync. Learn where you should manage your listings, reservations, and guest communication based on this connection type. You can also switch the connection type.

Limitations

Reservations with past dates won't be imported to Guesty when you link a listing. Learn more about uploading past reservations manually.
A Booking.com room ID can only be linked to one Guesty listing.
Only single and multi-unit listings can be linked to Booking.com. Linking sub-units isn't supported. When linking a multi-unit, select the main unit in Guesty, not the sub-units.

Follow these steps before linking listings to Guesty.
To integrate a hotel with Booking.com:
1. Create each room type as listings under a complex on Booking.com. The complex will be assigned one hotel ID with multiple room IDs.
2. Link the hotel with the corresponding complex in Guesty and each room type with the corresponding listing in Guesty. The main complex is displayed first, with each room type in a separate row below it.
To link a new room to Guesty, connect it to a rate plan on Booking.com before attempting to link it. Only rooms with active rate plans are visible during the linking process.
