What should I do if Booking.com is down for me?

Check your booking through the confirmation email rather than the app. A reservation already made lives in the airline or host system and survives an outage of the site you booked it on. Try the airline directly if a booking site is failing, and the reverse. They are separate companies running separate systems. Avoid rebooking during an incident. A booking that appears to have failed has often gone through, and duplicates are expensive to unwind. Use the mobile boarding pass you already downloaded. It does not need the app to be online to scan.

Over the last 7 days, Booking.com has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~17 ms. No outages have been recorded in the last 90 days.

Booking.com aggregates hotel and rental inventory from suppliers worldwide, so a booking passes through its own systems and the property's. Search can work perfectly while confirmations are failing.

Is Booking.com down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Booking.com normally right now, and it answered our last one in 14ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
