Download Booking Confirmation From Booking.com NEW!
Perla Hockins
I just got a very legit looking confirmation from booking.com for a hotel room that I never booked. The room was booked under a name that is not even close to mine. There is no sign of payment that I can see. I clicked cancel on the email and a received a cancel confirmation email immediately from them. My email is also very distinct and there would be no way that someone would mistype their email for mine. Should I worry that there is some phishing or fraud taking place? Has anyone ever had this happen?
I had an email in my personal inbox with an unsolicited email from booking dot com in my inbox this morning (sent overnight) which was confirmation of a hotel in Hyderbad - paying cash to the hotel on arrival. The email looks legit, the links are all legit (not being routed through another system) and they all do go to the actual booking company. The confirmation of booking looks real.
Of course it is safest to print out your confirmation as it eliminates any doubt. I am however a frequent booking.com user (mainly due to their easy cancellation policies) and over the past year I don't remember ever needing more than my name, ID, and credit card to check in. I just finished a week Europe trip (July 2013) and that was the case at the 4 booking.com hotels at which I stayed.
So looking at it from a cost/benefit analysis, I'd say you can skip printing if the inconvenience is great (no access to printer, running late for a plane, etc.) or if you have a higher tolerance for risk. My personal approach is the hotel ultimately wants your business, and booking.com generally holds them accountable, so I don't worry too much about not having a confirmation paper.
One caveat: just because you check in does not necessarily mean you get exactly what you expected. If there is an amenity booking.com said you'd get that isn't given, that would be another case where your own printout would help.
A second email purported to also have been sent by Booking.com on behalf of the hotel, but headers show that it was sent by an address from yandex.net. The email included the previously mentioned confirmation button that led to a URL that was generated by the Russian shortening service nah.uy.
When you make a travel booking and receive a confirmation, you expect that your reservation will be honored. You put your trust in the hotel, the hotel chain and the platform where you book your reservation.
Booking a hotel room with a large chain such as Marriott or Hyatt can help, as some hotel chains have policies that prevent hotels from denying accommodation in the case of overbookings and last-minute cancellations.
At the end of March, as it happens, the airline emailed me to say that the flight times had changed. There was no communication from booking.com to this effect. I called the airline to check whether there were any options in relation to this, and the airline told me, I could pick a different time or cancel for a full refund, but as I had booked through an agent, I needed to contact them.
The copy that I have is from Princess through my T/A and I wanted to confirm some credits. So how do you confirm your credits on your Princess cruise? information must be there. A pretend booking doesn't show what credits you have what and that is what I'm trying to find.
With regard to on board credit confirmation, how do I confirm them. We submitted paperwork for military obc and shareholder credit. Have not heard from Princess at all and don't know where to look to see if credits are applied. We have booked through a TA, does that matter?
Ask your TA to provide you with the total OBC you have for the cruise. After I send in the paperwork for the Carnival stock OBC, I will call my TA and ask what the total OBC is for my booking. She sends a copy of a "booking confirmation" from Princess that just lists the total amount of OBC credited to me and the total amount credited to my DH. I take a copy of this so that I know how much should be posted to each of our shipboard cabin statement. So far (knock on wood) the shipboard cabin statement has had the correct amount of OBC listed.
Even if you get confirmation of OBC, bring any documentation with you on the cruise and double check it after boarding. My last three cruises, my stockholder OBC wasn't applied even after getting confirmation from both Princess and my TA. My last cruise, my FCC OBC wasn't applied. With the latter, I went to the PSD twice and both times, they said I had all the OBC I was getting. I emailed my TA and it was applied a couple of hours later. Those two OBC were $400 combined, not insignificant and worth raising a stink over. I now bring copies of all faxes and confirmations for all OBC. FYI, they won't accept electronic confirmation at the PSD. It has to be printed.
Ask your TA for an invoice. It should contain detail $ information, including OBC's. If it doesn't, tell the TA to e-mail you a copy of your Princess confirmation. If the TA is reluctant to do that, transfer your booking to a different travel agency.
4- Once Booking.com receives the confirmation that the reservations were processed successfully, we will remove those reservations from the queue.And respond back with OTA_HotelResNotifRS success. (By Booking.com)
Typically, you should download and store reservation data, and thenpresent it to the user. It is not necessary to refresh reservations with extra queries.Please report any doubts or concerns to connec...@booking.com.
I booked a ticket from SJC - LGA but didn't receive the confirmation yet. I didn't note down the confirmation number and I am not able to locate the reservation now. Tried to call southwest but there is a huge wait time. Is there a way to locate my reservation ? Is the reservation confirmed or do i need to rebook ?
Sounds like everything went through ok, but you'll want that confirmation number. When you made the booking for your wife did you put her email address in the reservation? Are you checking that account? Also, make sure you check the spam folder.
meetings linkIt would be great if we could remove the promotional meetings link from the booking confirmation page. Just doesn't provide a good ux when users are seeing a promotional link for something unrelated to the company they're booking an appointment for.
I am also seeing abnormal behavior from MS Bookings since november 28th @Colin365

Hello @Babu_Alagarsamy, thanks for looking into our problems with Microsoft Bookings earlier this week. I was just wondering if there was any kind of update on the situation? I feel like something has happened because quite a few of the problems haven't been issues for us in the last day or so. But it would be nice to have some kind of confirmation from you about this because we're waiting to open the bookings for January and I would like to feel like we can continue to run our services as normal using Bookings.
There have been a few more small oddities since my original post which could be worth noting here just in case anyone else is suffering any such problems, but I believe they are connected to the strange things we were experiencing rather than being new problems. For example, one of my own fake bookings was "updated" in the middle of the night which feels like it would be completely impossible unless it was in connection to something changing in the program. I got emails both as the user and admin for the change but couldn't see anything different in the data for that appointment time. Then we had one person show up for a booking today with a confirmation email but no record of the booking in the system but I think this was linked to when the whole group booking disappeared. At that time it was this customer's name in the subject of the cancellation email (which is not the normal experience for group bookings) but this obviously means that it wasn't this customer that was trying to cancel their appointment but someone else in the group.
When applying for a visa to the Schengen Area of countries that have abolished border arrangements between each other you will need to provide supporting documents. These include Schengen Visa proof of accommodation documentation.
A proof of accommodation document is simply a document that shows you have somewhere to stay during your trip to the Schengen Area. It could be a hotel booking, a letter from family or a friend, or a rental agreement stating you have the short-term rent of a home for the duration of your trip.
One of the simplest ways to prove you have a place to stay in a Schengen Area country is to provide a booking reservation in the form of email confirmation from the hotel or hostel where you have reserved your bed or room.
You should be careful when checking if your confirmation number is valid, as the authorities will investigate this information and will refuse your application, possibly with a further penalty, if it does not check out. Therefore, you should contact the hotel via email or over the phone to ensure this is correct.
Most reputable booking agencies will either allow you to pay a small deposit or fee to book your hotel room, allowing you to receive confirmation. Alternatively, you can check if your hotel will offer a full or partial refund if you cancel your booking within a certain time period.
You should do so in a similar way to a hotel booking confirmation - except to go through your tour operator. Ask them to provide confirmation of your bookings so you can pass them onto those dealing with your Schengen Visa application. Again, it is vital to check that you are using a reputable tour operator, as if your bookings are not valid, this will jeopardize your Schengen Visa application.
I had a reservation that I made far in advance on booking.com. Last week I received an email from the hotel through booking.com stating that I needed to update my credit card before my stay to maintain my reservation. Included was my name, reservation number and dates of stay. I went to the official booking.com site and there was another message from the hotel stating the same, with a link in the message. I am used to getting messages from hotels on booking.com. Often they are offering taxi service, tours, or requesting approximate arrival time. I clicked on the link in the hotel message (again, on the official booking.com site). It came up with a site that looked like the booking.com page, requesting that I enter my credit card information.
