Step 4: Photos

Photos are synchronised from Rentals United to the Booking.com as part of the static data synchronisation. However, follow the specific requirements while uploading your photos..

  • Main photo: The property needs to have the main photo selected.

  • Photo order: The main photo is always sent as the first one, the order of the remaining photos is preserved.

    Booking.com offers a feature called Smart ordering which is a machine learning-driven feature allowing to display the property's photos in a different order, optimised for a user best experience. Read more in this article. If the feature is on, you may experience different order of displayed photos on your listing page.

  • Hotel and room: All photos are always sent both on the hotel and room level.

  • Photo captions: Photo captions and their translations are not synchronised.

  • Photo tags: Photo tags are synchronised. If you have multiple tags selected per photo, all of them will be synchronised to Booking.com.
