Listing Setup: Booking - The Fine Print
Listing Setup: Booking.com - Setup
On Booking.com, the Fine Print is where your house rules and important pre-booking notes appear to guests. Hosts cannot freely edit some of the text Booking.com writes for them and must request changes instead, which Booking.com reviews before approving. Getting the Fine Print accurate matters because it sets guest expectations before they book and gives you something clear to point to if a rule is broken.

Questions people ask
What is the Fine Print on Booking.com?
The Fine Print is the section of a Booking.com listing that shows guests your house rules and important notes they need to know before booking.
Can I edit my Booking.com property description myself?
Some content Booking.com generates for your listing cannot be changed directly. You request edits and Booking.com reviews them before they go live.
How long does Booking.com take to approve house rule changes?
Approval can take several days. If a requested rule is not approved, hosts usually need to reword it or contact Booking.com support.
