Hostaway Named a Booking.com Premier Plus Connectivity Partner for 2026
Hostaway is proud to announce that it has been named a Booking.com Premier Plus Connectivity Partner, the highest tier in Booking.com’s Connectivity Partner Programme.
Introduced in 2026, Premier Plus is Booking.com’s new top connectivity partner designation. Previously, the highest partnership status was Premier which Hostaway had held consecutively since 2023, underscoring the strength of its long-term partnership with Booking.com and its continued investment in helping property managers operate more efficiently and grow more effectively.
For Hostaway customers, this milestone reinforces what they already rely on every day: a robust connection to Booking.com, seamless channel management, and a platform built to support professional property managers as they scale.
What is a Booking.com Premier Plus Connectivity Partner?
Booking.com’s Connectivity Partner Programme recognizes software providers that help accommodation partners manage their businesses more efficiently through strong, reliable connections to the platform.
Premier Plus is Booking.com’s highest connectivity partner tier. It is awarded to a select group of partners that have gone above and beyond standard certified connections to actively collaborate with the platform to drive mutual growth and improve accommodation partner performance.
As Eddy Veldhuizen, Senior Director Connectivity Partnerships at Booking.com stated, “Premier Plus partner status recognises Connectivity partners for their excellent performance and quality of service delivered to drive their properties’ success. It’s great to see our long-term partner Hostaway's achievement of reaching Premier Plus. This reflects their commitment to offering the full breadth of critical solutions and outstanding service to our customers and mutual accommodation partners.”
