How discounts stack
Every promotion belongs to a category. Discounts from different categories can stack. Two from the same category never do.
- A deep deal applies on its own.
- A campaign deal stacks with Genius.
- A portfolio deal stacks with Genius and a targeting rate.
Stacked discounts multiply instead of adding up: 10% and 10% take 19% off, not 20%. Each guest gets the stack that takes the most off.

Frequently asked questions
Why do Booking.com discounts not add up?
Compatible discounts apply one after another to the price that is left. Genius at 10%, a 10% Mobile Rate and a 15% deal take 31.2% off, not 35%. The simulator lists each line in the order Booking.com applies it: Genius first, then the deal, then the Mobile or Country Rate.
Why do two guests see different prices for the same night?
Promotions have audiences. Genius and Secret Deals need a signed-in account, the Mobile Rate needs a phone, and a Country Rate reaches guests in the countries you target. The simulator lists the price for each of the four guests; choose one to see how it is built. A signed-in guest is priced at your Genius level, and a member on a lower level gets that level's discount. The lowest price usually goes to a signed-in Genius member on a phone.
What PMS Markup does a Limited-Time Deal need?
Booking.com's lowest Limited-Time Deal is 30% and it applies on its own. For that deal to land on your Guest Target, the PMS Markup has to be at least 43% with a 0% Guest Target and 63% with a 14% Guest Target. Switch the deal on to see the figure for yours.
What Guest Target recovers Booking.com's commission?
More than the commission rate, because commission comes off the price the guest pays. At 15% commission, a Guest Target of about 18% leaves you your PMS base. Preferred, Preferred Plus and a Visibility Booster raise the commission, so they raise that figure too.
Does the simulator predict ranking or bookings?
No. It works out prices from Booking.com's stacking rules, which are arithmetic. How a promotion changes your position or bookings depends on your market, dates and listing, so the simulator gives no figure for it. myDataValue tracks both on your own listings: see how.
Are fees and taxes included?
No. The guest price here is the accommodation price: the room after promotions, before cleaning fees, other fees and taxes. Booking.com also charges commission on cleaning fees, so your real payout depends on how your fees are set up.
