Putting you in control when welcoming guests
Here are some of the benefits you enjoy when listing with us...
Communicate your house rules
Not only can you set house rules for your guests, they’ll also need to agree to those expectations before they can book your property.
Align with guests before booking
Guests can use our messaging system to contact you before they book to make sure you’re both meeting each other’s expectations.
Easy access to support
Our large team of partner support agents are available 24/7 and in 43 languages if you need to get in touch with us.
Get the kind of bookings you want
Find the right guests for your property by setting the criteria they must meet to book - like having a verified phone number.
Protect your investment
Worrying about something valuable in your property? You can set a damage deposit to give yourself an extra feeling of security.
Easy action if an issue arises
In the unlikely event you have a poor guest experience, our misconduct reporting tool makes it simple to tell our team and block them from your property.
Security measures
Protecting partners with every booking.
Background checks
We ensure guests are screened against numerous global sanctions watchlists so our partners aren’t put at risk when hosting.
Fraud scoring
We use machine learning models to detect fraud when guests are booking and take measures to protect your reservations.
Reservation risk
Even after the guest books, we still run additional checks and take action against bookings we know will be cancelled.
Guest blocking
We have multiple teams working to ensure that problematic guests are stopped from booking properties on Booking.com.
