Listing on Booking.com is free: the platform earns a commission on completed stays. For Moroccan properties, paying that commission was long a problem because invoices had to be settled in foreign currency.
How to list your property
Registration is done online on the Booking.com partner hub (join.booking.com).
- Create the partner account and choose the property type
- Enter the exact address; in a medina add a landmark and directions
- Describe each room type, amenities and house rules
- Upload bright, landscape photos
- Set rates, cancellation policy and payment terms
- Complete address and identity verification before sales and payouts open
How much is the commission?
The standard commission is often quoted around 15% of the stay, but the rate depends on the property, its location and the visibility programmes chosen. The exact rate is in your contract and extranet. On a 1,000 MAD night at 15%, you keep 850 MAD before tourist tax and payment fees.
Paying the commission in dirhams
After talks between hoteliers, the tax administration and the platform, an agreement was announced in 2023, and Médias24 reported in October 2024 that Booking.com started allowing Moroccan partners to pay commissions in dirhams, first as a test. Check the Finance section of your extranet for the current payment options.
Connect Booking.com, Airbnb and direct bookings
As soon as you sell on more than one channel, double bookings become the main risk. Welcomax includes a Channel Manager connected to its PMS that updates availability and rates on Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia as soon as a booking arrives.
