Steps
Apply through Booking.com's Connectivity Partner certification program — self-serve signup does not exist, and Booking.com has stated it is currently pausing new connectivity provider integrations.
Once approved, authenticate over TLS 1.2 using the credential- or token-based scheme assigned by your Connectivity Account Manager.
Send OTA_HotelAvailNotif and OTA_RateAmountNotif messages to supply-xml.booking.com to update availability and rates.
Use the separate secure-supply-xml.booking.com endpoint (PCI-scoped) for reservation retrieval/confirmation flows.
Request property-level data permissions (Reservations, Rates & Availability, Content, etc.) via the Connections API, since partner certification alone doesn't grant per-property access.
Known gotchas
The protocol stack mixes OTA 2003B XML, Booking.com's proprietary B.XML, and newer JSON REST endpoints for areas like Content/Reporting/Messaging — don't mix OTA and B.XML within a single workflow.
Documented rate limits vary by endpoint (e.g., 75 calls/min for several OTA_Hotel*Notif messages, 700/min for /xml/reservationssummary) — check the specific endpoint's limit.
