How is this entity connected?
Follow the same entity across integration, architecture, comparison, research and glossary layers. Links are generated from content metadata and topic similarity.
Booking.com should be modeled as a consumer-facing OTA and accommodation marketplace separately from supplier-facing surfaces such as Booking.com Connectivity.
Ecosystem role
On the consumer side, travelers search properties, select offers and may manage a significant part of the booking lifecycle through Booking.com. On the supplier side, property content, rates, availability and reservations can be managed through connectivity partners.
These surfaces share a brand but not the same technical contract.
Booking and payment ownership
Ownership varies by commercial model. Merchant-like collection, agency-style flows and pay-at-property scenarios should not be collapsed into one assumption.
Connectivity boundary
Booking.com Connectivity APIs focus on property and connectivity-partner state such as content, rates, availability and reservations. Keep the consumer OTA profile separate from the Booking.com Connectivity profile.
Technical modeling
Preserve property, room/rate, seller, booking owner, payment owner and source contract as separate concepts.
