Get StartedWhat is Booking.com clone script?
The history of Booking.com began in the mid-90s. Then a student of the Technical University of the Netherlands Geert-Jan Bruinsma went to Budapest. The room he booked was far from desired. There were no photographs or other data about the room.
Bruinsma had an idea - to create a hotel reservation system with offers from different hotels with detailed information and photos of rooms. Travel agencies, which at that time linked tourists and hotels, also provided favorable conditions for this. But few people wanted to overpay for their services.
Bookings B.V. was created in the spring of 1996. For its launch, it took about 50 000 euros collected by Geert-Jan’s friends. They became the first shareholders of the booking script. Bruinsma began to personally ring up hotels in different European cities and ask them to send advertising leaflets with pictures of rooms. With the help of a scanner, images appeared on Booking.com web pages.
The company immediately encountered difficulties. First, a year earlier, Microsoft created Expedia.com, a site for finding flights and booking hotels. Secondly, Booking.com relied on the Internet for its work. But at that stage it was less common in Europe, compared to the United States. In 1997, there were only a dozen hotels in the Booking.com database, although even then users could book them on their own.
A successful strategy allowed Booking.com to win a competition with American services: the company focused on small hotels. Besides the service, unlike the rest, did not charge a 30% commission, limiting only 10-12%.
Radical innovations won the loyalty of users. For example, they did not need to make an advance payment before checking into a hotel. And hotels, in turn, were entitled to quickly adjust the price for their services. Smashing success followed: already in 2005, over 7,000 hotels cooperated with Booking.com, and the financial turnover was determined by 25 million dollars.
If you wonder how to make a Booking.com clone website, read about what features are necessary for a booking clone script. On top of all, booking clone script should have the booking functionality out of the box or at least as an add-on.
