The official Booking.com search box is a user-friendly, customisable plugin to add the Booking.com search box to your own website in two easy steps.
As of April 2026, Booking.com Official Search Box is a WordPress hotels plugin with 2.0K+ active installations and a 2.4/5 rating from 8 reviews. It has been downloaded 120K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.0+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2014. Actively maintained — updated within the last month. Downloads are down 7% this week. Support resolution rate: 100%. Top alternative: WP Tripadvisor Review Widgets.
This plugin creates a search box that Booking.com Affiliate Partners can implement into their site using their affiliate ID.
If you’re not an Affiliate Partner yet, you can still implement the plugin. To get the most out of the plugin and earn commission, you’ll need to sign up for the Booking.com Affiliate Partner Programme.
To implement the search box, simply drag and drop the plugin to the sidebar Widget area to publish it – then you’re done!
Once installed, you can choose a pre-filled destination for the search box. This destination is linked to a destination ID, avoiding potential issues for multiple cities with the same name. You can also change the pre-filled destination for each page or post where the search box is displaying, thanks to the meta box feature showed at the end…
Waste of time!
Once installed the plugin causes errors in the pages and posts are repeated with errors.
Support does not exist, no one has answered in the forum for months …
It is useless if you need to select dates for the next year. It shows past months but not next year’s.
I got one more, bigger problem. If you type a destination with more than two words, it sends it to Booking with strange numbers in between (New Zeland => New 20Zeland) and that makes the search completely useless.
The experience with this company is terrible.
1. Their plugin doesn’t work and is very limited.
2. They don’t honor their affiliates with money. They will arbitrarily say you don’t “pass” their “quality test”.
So don’t waste your time.
