Listing Setup: Booking.com - Rate plans/Discounting/Cancellation policy
Listing Setup: Booking.com - Setup
Booking.com rate plans let you offer different prices and conditions, such as length-of-stay discounts and cancellation types, on the same property. They should mirror the discounts set in OwnerRez, and pricing should be based on your channel manager feed so PriceLabs dynamic pricing keeps working. Different cancellation types support different minimum-stay settings, which affects which plans are worth adding.

Questions people ask
What is a rate plan on Booking.com?
A rate plan is a set of prices and conditions, such as cancellation terms, minimum stay and discounts, offered for your property.
Should Booking.com discounts match my channel manager?
Yes. Keeping length-of-stay discounts the same as in OwnerRez keeps pricing consistent across platforms.
Will PriceLabs work with Booking.com rate plans?
It can, as long as rate plans are priced from the base rate your channel manager sends rather than set manually in Booking.com.
