How does a mobile-only price benefit properties?
The majority of reservations on Booking.com are made using mobile devices, so offering a Mobile Rate helps you tap into this large group of potential guests. Mobile Rates can also help you target millennials, who make up over 65% of bookings on our mobile channels.
When you offer a mobile-only rate, a special badge appears next to your property in the search results, on your property page and during the booking process. Booking.com has found that all of this helps to improve your conversion with mobile device users. Mobile-only prices are active throughout the year, and you can choose a maximum of 30 blackout dates when they don’t apply.
Mobile Rates apply to all of your rooms and Rate Plans. The Mobile Rate discount is on top of any Genius discounts you offer and any other promotions you’ve set up, except Country Rates and Limited-time Deals.

Two-thirds of mobile bookings are made by millennials – who write more reviews than any other traveller segment. Attracting these bookers can positively impact your overall ranking on Booking.com.
Setting your Mobile-only Rates
You can choose to offer any discount amount of at least 10%, but for the best results we recommend a discount of 15%. We’ll only offer this discount in our app, or both on our app and on our website in mobile browsers.
By activating mobile-only prices on both our app and mobile website, you can reach 30% more potential guests compared to on the app alone. Targeting mobile users is more important than ever, since increasing numbers of travelers use mobile devices when both thinking ahead to future trips and booking spontaneously.
How a mobile-only price maximize app and mobile web users
When you offer a mobile-only rate, you can choose to target only iOS/Android app users, but you also have the option of including bookers who use the mobile web browser on their phone instead of the app. By offering both, you’ll reach a much larger audience:
A bigger target: making your offer visible to Chrome, Safari and other mobile browsers can help you reach 30% more phone users
Brand-new bookers: first-time bookers use a mobile web browser to book 7 times more often than those who choose to download the app
Repeat bookers: repeat bookers gravitate to the convenience of booking within the downloadable app
By giving app and mobile web viewers the option to see your mobile-only price, you’ll reach new customers looking for their first great deal, as well as loyal bookers who come back time and time again. If you change your mind later, you can change this option at any time.
