This article walks you through the process of integrating your Booking.com account with Guesty. Follow the steps below to establish two-way synchronization between platforms, allowing automatic updates of availability, rates, and reservations.
1. Create an Airbnb account
It is a prerequisite to create and connect an Airbnb account to enable the use of Guesty Lite and connect other booking channels. Your existing Airbnb listings will be imported into Guesty during the connection process.
2. Create a Booking.com account
Once your Airbnb account is connected, you can create a Booking.com account.
3. Prepare your listing in Booking.com
Next, make sure your Booking.com listings meet the requirements listed below via the Extranet and make it live.

Enter your property’s description, facilities, and room amenities.
The description on your Booking.com property page is automatically generated based on the information you’ve provided in the Extranet.
- Add at least 5 photos of your property.
- Verify your property’s location.
- Add rates and availability to your calendar.
- Set your property's status to one of the following:

Import multiple rate plans to Guesty
Once your account is linked, your rate plans work as follows:
- All rates: Pricing and availability are synced from Guesty.
- Parent rate: Manage cancellation policies and availability restrictions in Guesty. Edit additional parent rate settings directly in the Booking.com Extranet.
- Child rates: Create and manage from the Booking.com Extranet (all child rates must be created under the same parent rate plan).
