Platform guide
Booking.com
A very large global OTA spanning hotels and short-term rentals, strong for international and last-minute demand, often with higher commissions than some peers.
Reach vs. commission
Booking.com's global reach can fill calendars, but commissions are often higher than some other channels — factor that into your channel mix and pricing.
Guest expectations
Guests here often expect hotel-like reliability: instant confirmation, clear policies, and prompt responses. Set expectations precisely in your listing.
Channel management
Connect Booking.com through a PMS/channel manager to keep availability and rates aligned with your other channels.
