How does our service work?
We make it easy for you to compare Bookings from many hotels, property owners, and other Service Providers.When you make a Booking on our Platform, you enter into a contract with the Service Provider (unless otherwise stated).
The information on our Platform is based on what Service Providers tell us. We do our best to keep things up to date at all times, but realistically, it can take a few hours to update, e.g. text descriptions and lists of the facilities that Accommodations provide.
Who do we work with?
Only Service Providers that have a contractual relationship with us will be displayed on our Platform. They may offer Travel Experiences outside our Platform as well.
We don’t own any Accommodations ourselves—each Service Provider is a separate company that has agreed to work with us in a certain way.
Our Platform tells you how many Accommodations you can book through us worldwide – and our search results page tells you how many of them might be right for you, based on what you’ve told us.
Our search results are also a recommendation system. In fact, it’s the recommendation system that our customers use the most, so please check out “Our default ranking and sorting options” below.
All the recommendation systems we use provide recommendations based on one or more of the following factors:
- What you tell us in the search form: destination, dates, number of guests, etc.
- Any information we’ve gathered based on how you interact with our Platform: your past searches on our Platform, the country where you are while browsing, etc.
- An Accommodation performance on our Platform:
- its click-through rate (how many people click on it)
- its gross bookings (how many bookings are made with that Accommodation)
- its net bookings (how many bookings are made with that Accommodation, minus how many are canceled)
- Information about an Accommodation’s availability, pricing scores, review scores, etc.
To make it as easy as possible for you to find and book an Accommodation, each factor can be more (or less) important in different cases, depending on what we think is most likely to produce a list of properties you may want to book.
Our default ranking and sorting options
Our search results are also a recommendation system. They show all the Accommodations (hotels, apartments, etc.) that match your search.
To see all the booking options an Accommodation offers, just click it.
When you first get your search results, they’ll be sorted (“ordered”) by “Our top picks” (called “Popularity” on our app):
- To appear high up on the page, an Accommodation needs to do well in each of these three areas:
- Click-through rate. How many people click it
- Gross bookings. How many bookings are made with that Accommodation
- Net bookings. How many bookings are made with that Accommodation, minus how many are canceled.
- As you can imagine, those numbers depend on lots of factors, including review scores, availability, policies, pricing, quality of content (e.g. photos), and other features.
- An Accommodation’s ranking can also be influenced by other things—for example, how much commission they pay us on Bookings, how quickly they usually pay it, whether they’re part of our Genius program or Preferred Partner(+) Program and in certain places*, whether we organize their payments.
- Any information we’ve gathered based on how you interact with our Platform (including what you tell us) will also be a factor.
Many of the above factors help our recommendation system decide which Accommodations might be the most appealing and relevant to you. Some play a small role in that decision, while others play a big role—and the importance of each factor can change, depending on the features of the Accommodation and on how you and other people use our Platform.
For example, an Accommodation’s click-through rate and number of Bookings often play a large role in the decisions. That’s because they’re a direct reflection of the Accommodation’s overall appeal and how satisfied its guests tend to be with what it offers.
A high click-through rate usually means that the Accommodation makes a good first impression on our Platform (e.g. through images, amenities, or descriptions)—and getting a lot of Bookings indicates that many people find it really does meet their requirements.
But other factors play a role as well. For example, we might give preference to Accommodations that are part of our Genius program – or offer versatile, user-friendly payment policies. After all, these factors suggest that these Accommodations understand how important service and convenience are to our customers.
Our recommendations are also influenced by how other customers with similar preferences use our Platform. For example, if:
- Person A often books Accommodations in Paris, Barcelona, and Rome and
- Person B often books Accommodations in Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin, and Madrid
…then our recommendation system might predict that Person A would also be interested in properties in Berlin and Madrid.
If the second Accommodation in your search results has a badge that says “Ad,” this means that the Service Provider has paid for it to appear there, as part of our “Booking Network Sponsored Ads” program.
If you would prefer us not to order your search results in our default way, you can sort them in other ways, such as:
- Homes and apartments first. Homes and apartments appear higher up than hotels and other types of Accommodations.
- Price (lowest first). Accommodations with lower prices appear higher up.
- Genius discount first. Genius Accommodations appear higher up than other Accommodations.
- Property rating (high to low). Accommodations with more stars* and/or higher quality ratings* appear higher up.
- Property rating (low to high). Accommodations with fewer stars and/or lower quality ratings appear higher up.
- Top reviewed (called “Best reviewed” in our app). Accommodations with higher review scores* appear higher up. If you see any instances where this isn’t the case, it’s just because we also factor in reliability (i.e. number of reviews). For example, an Accommodation with 1,000 reviews and an average score of 8.2 could appear above an Accommodation with 5 reviews and an average score of 8.3.
- Distance from (X). Accommodations that are closer to X (e.g., the city center) appear higher up the page. (When we say “close,” we mean “close in a straight line.”)
- Property rating. Accommodations with more stars appear higher up. Within each segment (5 stars, 4 stars, etc.) the ones with lower prices appear higher up.
- Best reviewed and lowest price. Accommodations with higher review scores appear higher up. Within each 0.5 segment (between 10 and 9.5, between 9.5 and 9, etc.) the ones with lower prices appear higher up.
