booking.com api

Hello Christophe, have you tried the booking.com affiliate plugin ?

Hi Greg,

thx for your swift reply.
Does that plugin update the availability entered in the booking calendar plugin?
I need it for a single Hotel.

Regards,
Christoph

This plugin lets you customize a booking.com searchbox. availability results are shown on the booking.com site. Think of it as a read-only widget for your visitors. This is not an hotel manager dashboard.
You’d setup this plugin once for all on your site so visitors can check available rooms & rates (for your hotel only).

See more infos on https://www.booking-plugin.com as needed !

thx. ok, but you wont add that on your personal hotel booking page so that you lead people to booking.com to end up book your competitor.
the Booking System Plugin lets you manage the rooms and has a calendar too – fine, and it updates booking.com and other booking portals like a channelmanger would do?

Nope, nothing of the sort. Having said that, the plugin allows you to limit your search results to 1 hotel only, which limits having potential prospects going to other properties.
Besides that, there is no fancy updates in various booking systems based on reservations made on a siloed booking catalog. I could foresee a number of challenges for such a solution. When you find what you need, let me know, out of curiosity I’d love to see how that’d work in the backend.

well, there are various services in the www for channel manager that do that.

Sure, I just don’t know that the good folks at availpro (and the likes) have released a plugin that extends their dashboard into wordpress admin. Would be great to see.
There are also a variety of smaller players offering calendar management & booking forms but -to my knowledge- they don’t update online catalogs.

Even though I hear about great initiatives (i.e. https://www.fairbooking.com), this is very much a proprietary world still ??
