The maths
You're buying placement: ~18% total commission instead of ~15% for measurably more impressions. Whether it pays depends on your market's competition and your conversion — test, measure, decide.
Eligibility
Based on performance scores and review levels; Booking invites qualifying properties rather than taking applications from everyone.
