How to Create an Account or Sign In on BookingXML

Updated

BookingXML's homepage provides two account entry points: Create Account and Sign in. To register, you use your email address and select your country from a drop-down list; if you already have an account, the Sign in option under "Already A Member?" takes you to the login form. The page also displays a "Login Signup Free" label, but the site materials do not state the full terms, approval process, or pricing behind an account, so treat registration as an application step rather than instant access to booking inventory.

Creating an Account

  1. Open bookingxml.com and select Create Account (the page shows "Hello, Friend!" above the registration form).
  2. Enter your email address in the registration field.
  3. Open the country selector and choose your country of registration. The list is long and alphabetical, covering markets from Afghanistan and Albania through Vietnam and Zimbabwe, so typing or scrolling carefully matters.
  4. Submit the form to create the account.

Expected result: the site registers your email and country against a new account. The visible page does not describe a password field, email verification step, or approval workflow, so if the next screen asks for business details or confirmation, follow those prompts rather than assuming the process is complete.

Common sticking points

  • Country selection: with roughly 250 entries, picking the wrong country is easy. Choose the country where your travel business is registered, not necessarily where you are sitting.
  • Email accuracy: since the email is the account identifier shown on the form, a typo will block later sign-in and any confirmation messages.
  • Free label vs. access: "Login Signup Free" appears on the page, but the materials do not confirm that inventory access, API credentials, or booking rights come at no cost. Confirm commercial terms with BookingXML before relying on the account for live bookings.

Signing In

  1. On the homepage, go to the Sign in link.
  2. Under "Already A Member?", enter your registered email and credentials.
  3. Submit to reach your account area.

If sign-in fails, first check that you are using the same email used at registration and the correct country context; then use the account recovery route the site offers. The page evidence does not list a specific "forgot password" flow, so if no recovery link appears, contact BookingXML support directly.

Who These Accounts Are For

BookingXML positions itself as a B2B provider — Hotel API, GDS hotel inventory, B2B hotel booking, and hotel booking systems for travel agents, tour operators, and travel companies. The account entry is therefore a business gateway, not a consumer login. If you are an individual traveler looking to book a room, this is likely the wrong entry point; the account is meant for agencies and operators who will distribute or resell inventory.

Situation Action
New travel agency or tour operator Use Create Account, register with a business email, select your registered country
Existing member Use Sign in under "Already A Member?"
Individual leisure traveler This B2B portal is not designed for direct consumer booking
Unsure about commercial terms Register, then confirm API access, inventory, and pricing with BookingXML before going live

What to Prepare Before Registering

Because the visible form only captures email and country, have the following ready in case later steps request them: your company's legal name and registration country, a business email domain, and contact details for the person who will manage API or booking-system integration. Deciding these in advance avoids restarting registration if the country or email must match your business records.

Once inside, the natural next questions are what a hotel API and bed bank model mean for your operation — those are covered separately in the BookingXML overview of hotel APIs, GDS inventory, and bed bank distribution.
