Boost your holiday rental with Booking.com

At Icnea we work closely with our partners at Booking.com to ensure that our clients achieve maximum profitability with their holiday rental business. The demand for holiday accommodation is currently very high, so it is very important to take care of visibility in a very demanding and competitive environment.

We have recently renewed our Premier Connectivity Partner status with Booking.com, a distinction that recognises our efforts to ensure that the connection between Icnea and the platform meets high quality standards and our commitment to continue helping our clients to have the best experience managing their accommodation.

Booking.com gives Icnea's customers access to a global audience, where 45% of new accommodations receive their first booking in less than a week from a customer base of over 1.1 billion customers.

Why choose Booking.com?

Booking.com puts its long history and experience in the holiday rental sector at your service to offer you several advantages:

New revenue streams
Booking.com showcases your accommodation to a wide range of potential customers for your business. In addition, it helps you to make the most of it with personalised tips, market information and advice based on data from the platform.

High-level security
Booking.com has a range of products to protect you and your business, as well as a secure online payment solution with a wide variety of payment methods to suit all customer needs.

Ease of use and ongoing support
All products and services on the platform have been designed with simplicity of use and accessibility in mind. From initial set-up to customer communication, availability management and receipt of payments. In addition, as an owner, you are supported by a 24-hour helpdesk available every day of the week.

How does Booking.com get bookings for your accommodation in such a short time?

Booking.com is committed to ensuring that you receive your first booking as soon as possible after your arrival on the platform. To achieve this, the platform offers several options:

Import your ratings and reviews
Booking.com allows you to convert and display the reviews that an accommodation has on other websites. This makes it easier to attract customers from the very beginning.

New partner label
New accommodations are highlighted in customer search results with the ‘New on Booking.com’ label to attract the attention of first-time customers.

Verification of the accommodation
Booking.com will help you to check if all the configuration of your accommodation is correctly done following the recommendations of the platform. In this way it is possible to know the effectiveness of the listing and ensure that it is at optimal levels to receive the first bookings.

Quality rating
If you are new and your flat does not have customer reviews, Booking.com's quality rating system can help you. This tool rates the accommodation based on the information provided such as amenities and services offered, the description of the space, the number and quality of the photos offered, etc.

Peace of mind for your accommodation and finances

Listing your accommodation on Booking.com not only guarantees you a steady source of income for your business, but also peace of mind and security for your accommodation and finances.

Take advantage of Booking.com Payments
Booking.com facilitates all payments for your guests after check-out. With this solution, you will receive by bank transfer the payment of all your bookings according to the established conditions.

Handling of payment requests for damages*
Although the platform's data shows that accidental damage is very rare, Booking.com offers you the possibility to manage damage claims via a form on the Owners' Extranet.

Protection against liability claims**
Booking.com protects you against liability claims from customers and neighbours up to €1,000,000/£/$1,000. Your accommodations are automatically included in this insurance programme at no additional cost and with worldwide coverage.

Transparency of fees
All the information about fees is available so that, as an owner, you always know when they are charged and how to consult the details of the fees in the monthly invoices and bookings.

* Payment claims for damages up to €/£/$500 provided through Booking.com Payments.
** Available in Spain, Australia, United States, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom and France.
