Booking.com is a travel search and reservation site. The site was launched in 1996 in The Netherlands, and the headquarters for the site are still located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Bookings.nl merged with Bookings Online in 2000 and was acquired by Booking Holdings, formerly known as Priceline Group, in 2005. Booking.com has over 29 million listings in 143, 172 destinations in 230 countries worldwide. The site is available in 43 languages around the world, and over 1,550,000 room nights are booked via the site each day. As a member of the former Priceline Group Booking.com also has access to similar hotel listings, European bus or train trip tickets, and restaurant reservations via another Priceline Group member OpenTable.com. Customers may access the site for searches and booking via their website at Booking.com or via the mobile applications available for both Android and iOS devices. Reservations may be booked without signing up for an account, with only name, payment, and email address or mobile number for text or email confirmations required to book. However, signing up for an account makes the process of viewing current or past reservations easier and there is no cost to create an account nor is there a monthly fee to have an account on Booking.com. Hotel reservations may be booked with payment made in advance or at the hotel when checking in depending on the hotel’s policies and availability. Cancellations may be done via Booking.com’s website or customer service agents. Booking does not charge a fee for cancelling but the hotel may charge one, depending on the property’s policies and how far in advance the cancellation is requested.
