Originally written in English, any translations errors should be checked against the original atricle

  • Install the Booking.com app and accept the scopes
  • Enter your Booking.com Property id and choose a name for the Property which is used in the app. The property id can be found in your admin panel of Booking.com https://admin.booking.com :
  • If you have not given access to Camping.care before as a channel manager the app will ask
    you to connect Camping.care as a channel manager.

    You can now add multiple Booking.com properties to Camping.care and connect them to a single campsite

  • When you have accepted this, the app will automatically read all information about your  Booking.com accommodations and rates from the Booking.com system
  • You can open the property by clicking the open button.
  • In the Property screen you can match your Booking.com accommodations to the Camping.care Accommodations
If you have connected the Camping.care Accommodation to the Booking.com Roomtype you will be able to sync availability and attach the rates for all accommodations
  • If you open a Roomtype/Accommodation You will get an overview of all rates which are available in Booking.com
  • You can connect the Booking.com rates to the Camping.care Rates, these prices/rates can be added on the Camping.care Dashboard. More information about the Camping.care rate can be found in the article: Setting up prices

Warning: Booking.com does not synchronise extra guest prices. So if an accommodation can occupy 4 persons, make sure the price in your rate is for 4 persons.

You can create special price rates only for Booking.com so you can decide when you would have availabilities for Booking.com

If the rate is connected you will be able to sync the rate to Booking.com. The rates will be synced continously when you make changes to rates.

When there will be synchronisations from Camping.care to Booking.com and from Booking.com to Camping.care:

  • If you change rate prices we will automatically update all Booking.com rates which are connected to this Camping.care rate.
  • If a booking is made for a specific accommodation (from any channel) we try to update the booking.com availability for the specific accommodation (roomtype) as soon as possible
  • If a reservation is created on Booking.com we will try to retreive the reservations and handle them every 30 seconds. After handling the bookings we will also update the availability to Booking.com.
  • If someone makes an adjustment on a Booking.com reservation we will update this reservation in the Camping.care system.
  • If the reservation is Cancelled by the Guest from the Booking.com App we will automatically cancel the booking in the Camping.care system.

We will lock the Booking.com bookings. This means you cannot make changes to the booking itself. This is because of the one way communication Booking.com offers, guest can always make adjustments to the booking. If we do not lock the booking, the changes will be overwritten by the update which has been done by the Booking.com guest.

Extra products

Extra products can only be added from Booking.com. This can be done frop Property->Policies

Under policies you can add in “Additional fees & charges” extras you want to charge like cleaning fees, Bed linens, Tourist tax etc.

Connect these products to camping.care (for accountancy reasons)

You do not establish the connection between Camping.care and Booking.con products on camping.care main page. When you open the Booking.com App, you can go to Product Settings. That way, on the invoice the correct camping.care products will be selected.
