Action: Booking.com - Sign your agreement to accept change of ownership (If Applicable)

Listing Setup: Booking.com - Setup

In short

Once a previous manager has requested the transfer, the new owner accepts the Booking.com change of ownership from their own account. This involves confirming the property and contact details, stating your tax position and agreeing to Booking.com's standard partner terms. After you submit, Booking.com processes the transfer, which can take several days before you have full control of the listing.
