We’re reader-supported and may be paid when you visit links to partner sites. We don’t compare all products in the market, but we’re working on it!

Booking.com is a world leader in online accommodation booking, with more than 750,000 room nights booked through the site each day. The service is free to use and acts as a go-between, connecting business and leisure travellers with accommodations ranging from small B&Bs to 5-star hotels in more than 200 countries.
Booking.com guarantees the quality of all of the listed accommodations, which are organised based on selection criteria, and promises the best available prices for all types of accommodations.
How do I get a discount at Booking.com?
There's a host of ways to save on stays with Booking.com. When we're browsing the site for accommodation, here's a few things we look for before committing to a stay:
See if there's an offer on the homepage. There's often a box highlighting the latest deals which usually range from up to 15% to 30% off stays.
Subscribe to the Booking.com newsletter. The "Secret Deals" are emailed to subscribers and can offer deep discounts.
Book a refundable stay. While this isn't a discount in its own right, you can secure a low-priced stay and keep searching right up until you depart for new deals. Often a hotel chain's sale will be available through online travel agencies and if one pops up at a similar property, it may be worth cancelling and getting a refund for your original stay and booking a new hotel at a lower price.
Price matching. If you can find a cheaper stay at the same property you booked on a different site, you may qualify for a refund worth the difference in price.
How do I use my Booking.com promo code?
Booking.com doesn't currently use promo codes, but there are tons of ways to still save on your stay. Check out our tips above on how to get a discount at Booking.com.
What locations does Booking.com have accommodation available in?
Booking.com is a global network of accommodations for every trip style and budget. You can find over 500,000 bookable properties in over 212 countries in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, The Middle East, and Oceania.
Most popular domestic destinations from Booking.com
Booking.com is a global service used thousands of times each day to book accommodation all over the world.
When searching for accommodation, prospective guests can check verified reviews from former guests to make informed choices.
All bookings made through the Booking.com site are confirmed.
There’s no need to pay a deposit for most properties. You can fix up the bill when you arrive.
Cons
Booking.com acts as a middleman between guests and hotels. It is not liable for any ‘bad experience’ had during a stay at any of its properties online, unless the property breaks the terms of its agreement with Booking.com.
Does Booking.com price match?
If you've made a booking and find a lower price sometime between your booking time and 24 hours before check-in you can claim a refund for the difference in price.
You can only apply for a refund when the price is lower for the same property, accommodation type and stay dates. The cancellation policy also needs to be the same - often hotels charge more for refundable rates, which can't be compared.
What forms of payment does Booking.com accept?
Visa
MasterCard
American Express
Diners Club
Can I buy Booking.com gift cards?
Booking.com gift cards are not currently available in Australia. If Booking.com does offer the option, we'll update this space.

To manage or make changes to a booking, you'll need to a visit the My Reservations section of Booking.com. You can then log into your account to make changes.

I signed up to Booking.com using the “subscribe to get 10% off” link. Do I need a discount code to get 10% off? When I signed into Booking.com and make a booking, no discount come up.
Unfortunately it seems that booking.com has ended that discount for the moment. Apologies, however you can still enjoy no booking fees with booking.com as well as other great deals. Alternatively, you might like to check out our current travel deals here: https://www.finder.com.au/travel/travel-deals

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
