Understanding Booking.com's Legal Entity Identifier (LEID)

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEID) is a unique legal identity number assigned to every Booking.com account and required for operation. Without an LEID, you will not be able to publish listings between Guesty and Booking.com.

In the past, Booking.com did not require an LEID. Now, every new Booking.com account has an LEID assigned to it, and existing accounts receive LEID numbers retroactively. If your Booking.com account was connected to Guesty before receiving an LEID, this LEID information isn't automatically imported into Guesty.

You can find your LEID on the Booking.com integration page in Guesty.

If you don't see an LEID for a Booking.com account in Guesty, no LEID is assigned or the LEID is missing. Contact us to update the LEID. Alternatively, you can reconnect the Booking.com account and the LEID will be automatically imported into Guesty. When you reconnect a Booking.com account with an LEID, it will be stored as a new account on the Booking.com integration page in Guesty. 

Can I connect listings to a non-LEID Booking.com account?

While you can link listings to a non-LEID Booking.com account, you can only publish listings from Guesty to Booking.com if your Booking.com account has an LEID.

If you have an both a non-LEID and an LEID Booking.com account in Guesty, you can disconnect and reconnect the listing to move the listing from the non-LEID account to the LEID account.

If you don't have an LEID Booking.com account in Guesty, contact Booking.com and ask to establish an LEID for your account. Once your account has an LEID, contact us to connect the published listings to your LEID account, with the following:

  • The LEID account you wish to move the listings to

  • The IDs of the listings you want to associate with the LEID account
