Booking.com Promotion Rates Vs Normal Rates

Hello,
To those who work with Booking.com can anybody tell me if there is advantage or not in creating promotional rates instead of regular dates for different seasons? Does the promotional rates have more visibility on the website than the others?

Thanks for your help
Kind Regards

Good Morning All,

I received an email from this guys. The website is exacly like all airbnb clones. Does anyone have experience with them? In which markets are they advertising?

I've found an early post from 2012 so I was hoping somebody had updated news.

Thanks for all your help

I work with them in Portugal. I had a few bookings from them. The price was cheap and it was worth the trouble of working with them.

Last year I received nothing so I didn't renovate my listing.

I've sto...

Hi,

I've just tried and your apartment is the first to show on the list. I made the search by Alghero only.

Did you do anything to them?

Hi BigSis,

Is HL still working for you? I used to work with them before TA and they were very good, but than the inquiries drop down and I let them go. After TA I gave them another chance, but they had a poor performance, so I let them go again.

Thanks for the help

Hi Big Sis,
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to send a Pm to this Tyler, though I think they should show some respect and do it themselves after the negative answers they receive.
