FAQ

How to search for the nearest hotels by coordinates?

Use the Search hotels by coordinates endpoint:

GET /v1/hotels/search-by-coordinates?latitude=51.5074&longitude=-0.1278&...

Does the API provide online booking and cancellation?

The API allows you to find hotels and rooms, then get a booking link to complete the reservation on Booking com:

https://secure.booking.com/book.html?hotel_id=7292334&checkin=2021-09-14&interval=2&stage=1&nr_rooms_729233401_325315371_3_0_0=1

Why doesn't currency filtering work correctly?

Prices and currency filters are always in the hotel's local currency. For example, if the hotel operates in Euros, prices will be displayed in Euros regardless of the currency parameter.

How do I paginate results?

Use the page_number parameter to navigate through result pages. Start with page_number=0 and increment for subsequent pages.
