The extranet system is the central platform for managing your listings, communicating with guests, tracking payments, and contacting Booking.com for support. For anyone considering listing their property with Booking.com, the Booking.com extranet will be your closest friend (apart from those on the Booking.com support staff, of course). You will need to become intimately familiar with it to make your time as a Booking.com host as enjoyable (and profitable) as possible.
The Booking.com Extranet is what it sounds like.
After you register your property and Booking.com approves your account, you will get an email from their staff with your login details. This username and password combination will get you access to the platform’s property owner dashboard. This interface, dubbed the extranet, gives property owners access to all of the functionality necessary to manage their listings on the website. For example, a registered property owner will be able to:
• Update or modify information and facts about their property through this Booking.com extranet site.
• Conduct a rental rate analysis for available apartments.
• Verify or change payment information
• Review Booking.com’s advice and recommendations for optimizing your property’s performance on the Opportunities page
Access to this extranet is critical; therefore, after obtaining your login credentials, save them in a convenient and easily accessible area.
Owner logs in to Booking.com.
When you’re ready to log in to your Booking.com account, just follow these easy steps:
• Step 1: In your internet browser, type admin.booking.com.
• Step 2: When asked, enter your login and password.
• Step 3: You will also be prompted to pick a language preference during your first visit. This way, you may choose your preferred language for future login attempts.
• Step 4: Your first login will also need identification verification. A six-digit number will be issued to you through text message, phone call, or via the Booking.com Pulse app, which is used to maintain your listings (we’ll return to this incredible resource later). Once you’ve obtained the code, enter it in the corresponding field on the Booking.com website.
How to Recover Your Booking.com Login Information
It happens to the best of us: we sometimes lose track of our passwords. The good news is that recovering or resetting your password to access Booking.com’s extranet is straightforward. Simply click the “Having difficulty signing in?” option on the login page. From there, click “Forgot your password?” and enter your login username to access the “Forgot your password?” option.
Additionally, you may be shut out of the extranet platform. Booking.com will block your access after five failed login attempts to safeguard your security. If this happens, click the “Forgot your password?” link once again, and you will be prompted to enter your email address. Once validated, you will get an email with a link to reset your access password.
How to Deactivate a Listing on Booking.com
Your company is growing, and you’re ready to renovate your rental home, but how can you do so without jeopardizing your Booking.com listing? If you want to make your Booking.com listing inaccessible for a certain length of time for whatever reason, you may do so by shutting it on your extranet dashboard’s availability calendar.
If you own a unit that is not now or in the future leased, you may simply visit the property, go to the “Rates & Availability” page, and shut the room for a set period range. This effectively deactivates your listing since it will be unavailable for rental during that period. When you’re ready to reactivate your listing, just go back to the “Rates & Availability” page and change availability.
If this listing does have rental bookings, you must click the “Rates & Availability” page and close the room for a date range beginning with the most recent reservation. Bear in mind that you cannot deactivate a listing during a period that includes a booked rental; however, you may be able to exchange properties if you have another of comparable quality/location available.
Vacation Rental Channel Manager
To simplify your business you should use a vacation rental channel manager. A channel manager will list your properties on multiple channels all from one convention dashboard. This will save you time and increase your bookings. Our favorite is Lodgable. They offer an all-in-one solution giving you access to all the tools you will need.
