Connecting your accommodations to Booking.com with the complete integration means taking a step towards full automation. From Channel PRO, you can create new properties, assign existing ones, and keep prices, content, and rules synchronized without needing to enter the Booking.com extranet. More control, fewer repetitive tasks.
What the complete integration allows
With the complete integration, Avantio collects information from your VRMS and automatically sends it to Booking.com. This includes:
Creation and assignment of properties: you can register new accommodations or link existing ones on Booking.com with a single click.
Accommodation content: features, bed distribution, and services configured in your VRMS.
Multiple rates: discounts, surcharges, non-refundable rates, or rates for additional occupants.
Occupancy rules: number of guests allowed, minimum and maximum stay, check-in/out days and times.
Mandatory extras: tourist taxes, deposit, final cleaning, internet, bed linen, cribs, heating, or air conditioning.
Availability and prices: real-time updates from the VRMS.
👉 Attention to details: if you change something on Booking.com, the information will be overwritten by what you have in Avantio. Therefore, if you choose the complete connection, always make changes from your VRMS.
