Allotz.com will complete the manual activation when mapping is done for the first time.
Once the Mapping Process is completed, go ahead and set up Rates and Allocations in Allotz Autopilot Admin.
The Rates and Allocations will need to mirror the data in Booking.com system.
You will then be able to "set and forget" your property inventory in the Booking.com distribution channel through
Allotz Autopilot's "Dynamic Time Expiring Asset, Inventory and Revenue Management System".
You will have peace of mind knowing that all day everyday your inventory is being promoted to the right
customers, at the right price at the right time and in the right place.
Other matters you need to be aware of:
Other matters you need to know to distribute your inventory efficiently and effectively through Booking.com are 1. All of your property and inventory information (description, images) is managed by you through the
Booking.com Admin. Allotz.com does not update your property or room type content on your behalf as it
does to all its other unrestricted two way direct connected channels.
2. Once all of your property Booking.com extranet "Username and Password" - "Hotel Code" - "Room Codes"
- "Rate Plan Codes" (these are your "Booking.com Codes"). are exist in the Allotz.com Limited system
and Booking.com approved your property xml support through Allotz.com then your property will be
approved in the Allotz.com system and you will be able to start distributing rates and allocations to
Booking.com through their Extranet area.
3. When you have change of the Booking.com extranet "Username and Password" or create a new Property,
Room Type or Rate Plan in Allotz Autopilot Admin or Booking.com Admin, please ensure that the
information is the same in both Admin areas are set to be the same. You will then need to take the steps
outlined in Step 5.
4. We recommended that you regularly check and compare bookings and allocations in both the
Booking.com and Allotz Autopilot Admin areas.
5. Your confirmed Booking.com room bookings (& details) will be emailed to you via Allotz Autopilot.
Allotz.com is not liable for any incorrect booking data from Booking.com.
6. Only the guest's name will be included in the booking information retrieved from the Booking.com Admin.
You must obtain the e-mail address yourself (usually on registration at check-in) for guests booking via
Booking.com.
