Reseller Description
Booking.com is a Dutch online travel agency that was founded in 1996 in the Netherlands and is a subsidiary of Booking Holdings. It is basically a global online platform/website where Hotels can list their properties and guests can book them to book accommodation all over the globe. The general principle of Booking.com regarding private listings is that you create an account at their side, fill it with the necessary information/configuration and start posting your listings. As soon as your listing becomes publicly available, the guests may book your property.
There are lots of built-in features at Booking.com that will simplify your operations. For example, there is a calendar of bookings that are designed to allow you effectively manage upcoming reservations and unbooked days. Another great feature of Booking.com is an option to set up deals and promotions to attract more customers like Last-Minute Deal, Early Booker Deal, etc.
