The Booking.com API is able to import most rates settings and configuration from OwnerRez - but not quite all.
- Configured in OwnerRez, and sent to Booking.com automatically
- Must be configured in Booking.com
- Additional Rate Plans
Configured in OwnerRez, and sent to Booking.com automatically
- Nightly Rates, including minimum-night settings. This will be the base rate, plus any per-night or % surcharges/discounts. Things like last minute discounts in OwnerRez will be pushed over to Booking.com included in the rates - they won't appear listed separately, but their effect will be included in the rate as displayed.
- Per-guest fee (surcharge with a guest multiplier) in accordance with the number rules set in OwnerRez.
Must be configured in Booking.com
- Fees and Security Deposits. These are found in the Policies section on Booking.com:
- Taxes - and you can't do that yourself, either. You must contact Booking.com support to request them to be updated as required.
- Length-of-stay discounts like week/month. These can be added in the Promotions section on Booking.com.
Additional Rate Plans
Each property in OwnerRez can only sync to one rate plan in Booking.com. But, Booking.com has features that let you create additional plans based on others. These are sometimes called "child" rate plans, and are useful for the hotels that Booking.com was originally designed for.
However, OwnerRez was designed primarily for the use of vacation rentals, which have a number of fundamental and customary differences. The Booking.com child plans don't map neatly into the OwnerRez rate schema. Therefore, they should not be used, as they may lead to unpredictable results.
