## TL;DR

Booking.com gives properties a 7-day response window. Reply via the Extranet, keep it concise, never publish contact details, and match the hospitality voice your guests expect.

## Overview

Booking.com is one of the largest accommodation booking platforms globally. Your replies appear publicly on your property page and influence booking decisions. These templates follow Booking.com's guidelines and are calibrated for hotels, B&Bs, and short-stay properties.

## Platform rules

- Replies must be submitted through the Booking.com Extranet within 7 days.
- Never include email addresses, phone numbers, or URLs in the reply.
- Do not mention guest names or booking details publicly.
- Flag inappropriate reviews through Booking.com's partner support, not in the reply.
- Keep replies concise and professional — long responses are truncated on mobile.

## Tone notes

Warm, professional, and guest-focused. Sign from a named GM or front-desk manager. Future guests read these replies before booking.
