Booking.com was founded when two hotel booking sites in the Netherlands, Bookings.NL, and Bookings.org merged in 2000. The company name and URL was changed to Bookings.Com. The company is a subsidiary of Booking Holdings, which has headquarters in Connecticut.
Online travel giant Expedia was first offered the company in 2002, but they rejected the chance to acquire it. In 2005, Booking Holdings (or Priceline Group, as it was called at that time) acquired the company for $133 million.
Bookings.Com has more than 29 million listings in 143,000 + destinations in 230 countries. The website is available in 43 languages and books more than 1.5 million reservations every single day.
The Better Business Bureau profile for Booking.Com lists only 657 complaints, most of them regarding the property that was reserved. Booking.Com acts as a mediator between renters and consumers.
The website has been a favorite target of hackers, with the company stating it was breached both in 2014 and again in 2018.
In May 2018, Russia considered blocking the website in retaliation to US sanctions on Russia.
Company headquarters for the parent company are located in Norwalk, Connecticut.
Hi,
I am a partner with booking.com that rents out our property in the Philippines. I have been disputing one of my booking payout that should have been paid last October 17th, 2019 cut off. I was told that it will be included this past cut off of October 27th, 2019 but I am not seeing any entry on my invoice. This experience is worst than pulling teeth and I cannot get anyone to resolved this issue. I have asked numerous times to expedite the payment or escalate the issue and I have yet to receive any resolution. Can someone please look into this or please escalate it.
Thanks,
EJ
480.00 was just stolen from me by people pretending to be booking.com. I tried to book a reservation with my bank card and they said it would not go thru I need to purchase a booking.com pre paid card or Ebay or Google Play card This was over the phone 401-239-3307, It sounds like a call center in the back ground. The person I was dealing with called himself Peter Miller the refund manager. He does not sound like a Peter Miller at all, Everyone we talked too had a very heavy accent. You could hardly understand what they are saying. They keep trying to get me to buy more cards to get your money back. I have been trying to get in touch with someone to report this issu These people are still scramming people right this minute
