Booking.com Experience

[gonesouth]

Has anybody used the Booking.com link?

What was your experience?

Did you get new business and was it worth the fees you paid?

Did you find existing customers using Booking.com, so that you paid new fees without getting new business?

Was it a smooth thing or a pain in the neck?

You mean the booking button? or the addon for hoteldruid?

[gonesouth]

Either one. I didn't know about the booking button.....I was really thinking about the coordination of databases thing, because the button would just get somebody booking at my site to cost me a fee to Booking.com, wouldn't it?

I haven't used the addon for hotel druid, however i use the booking button and i love it, i just wish booking would let us customize it.

With the booking button you only pay 3% commission if the reservations is done that way, which is nothing compared to the 14 % we get charged here (Colombia)

I'm currently redoing my website and i'm working on a more customized booking button using jquery that would still work with the booking button, when i finish it I'll post the code here for people to implement it if they want.

overall i get about 40% of my reservations through the booking button on my website.
