Booking.com Description
Booking.com is an online travel agency founded in the Netherlands in 1996. It is best known for hotel bookings but also lists homes, villas, guest houses and other short-stay rentals, and it offers flights and car hire in many markets. Travellers can compare properties by price, location and guest reviews, and many listings allow free cancellation. For publishers, Booking.com is a natural fit for destination guides, itinerary posts and travel videos, because nearly every location has bookable accommodation. Partners can join directly through the Booking.com affiliate partner programme or through networks such as Awin, CJ and Travelpayouts. The short cookie means links perform best on pages read close to the moment of booking. Commission is typically a share of Booking.com's own revenue from each stay, paid after the guest checks out.

Commission is usually confirmed only after the guest's stay, so expect a delay between booking and payout.
