Enable Booking.com "New Property Deal" promotion when automatically creating listings

Problem statement

When listings are created via Hospitable's automatic Booking.com sync, they are not eligible for Booking.com's "New Property Deal" promotion (20% discount for the first 3 reservations). Booking.com states that properties created this way do not qualify for the promotion, which is applied automatically only when listings are created directly on their platform.

Current workaround

There is no real workaround. Hosts can wait for the first three reservations to come in naturally (even with a manual 20% discount, this takes significantly longer compared to the "New Property Deal" promotion). The most practical solution is to delete the automatically created listing and manually recreate it directly on Booking.com, which is time-consuming and defeats the purpose of automatic sync.

Impact

  • Slower ramp-up time for new listings
  • Lost revenue during the critical launch period
  • Reduced competitiveness compared to listings created directly on Booking.com
  • Manual effort required to delete and recreate listings, defeating the purpose of automatic sync

Proposed solution

Enable Hospitable's automatic Booking.com listing creation to trigger or enable the "New Property Deal" promotion (20% discount for the first 3 reservations) so that listings created via Hospitable are treated the same as listings created directly on Booking.com.

Unlock

  • Faster ramp-up and initial bookings for new properties
  • Improved algorithmic visibility and competitiveness on Booking.com
  • Reduced manual effort — hosts can rely fully on Hospitable's automatic sync
  • Increased revenue during the critical launch period

    Hi @Sebastian Wojtowicz,

    Thank you so much for giving us feedback!

    I have great news for you 🎉

    Booking.com is in the process of releasing the functionality to add the new property deal when a listing is created by an integrated software (like Hospitable).

    It will be available for us to at the beginning of May. I'll let you know as soon as it's available!
