Booking.com API

This is 3rd party integration with Booking.com service.

This module provides a framework accessing Booking.com API for Drupal developers.

Provided XML data from Booking.com allows you to present selections of hotels on your website that match your target audience. In combination with our multilingual hotel content you are able to serve a wider range of visitors on your website. By using XML you are flexible in delivering content including the reservation process to your customers (optional). The XML service allows you to completely integrate our product in your own website's layout served from your own server, exactly in the way you like.

The Booking.com XML grants you access to all hotel data. The data can be retrieved by XML and should be stored locally, in your own database. Hotel data consists of basic hotel information, various descriptions of the hotel, photos, pricing and availability (only real-time). Furthermore a basic list of countries, cities and regions can be retrieved via XML.

Note: This is not an official module of Booking.com, so you'll not find any help regarding the Booking.com service issues.
