Booking Karma on the Your Price Booking

On Your Price Booking, Booking Karma is a key feature that reflects the actions and behaviors of travelers on the platform. Every traveler builds their Booking Karma through specific activities, which can either increase or decrease their reputation. This system allows hoteliers to get a better understanding of potential guests and even offer exclusive deals based on their Karma.

"Karma means action." — Sadhguru

Every action you take on the platform influences your Karma score, and thus, the opportunities you receive as a traveler.

How Booking Karma works

Your Karma is shaped by the following actions on the platform:

1. Booking made (+1): Every successful booking adds one point to your Karma.
2. Booking canceled (-5): Canceling a booking reduces your Karma by five points.
3. No-show (-10): Failing to show up without canceling decreases your Karma significantly by ten points.
4. Rating a property (+1): Leaving a rating after your stay adds one Karma point.
5. Leaving a review (+2): Writing a detailed review of a property gives you two additional points.
6. Reviewing Your Price Booking (+1): Feedback on the platform itself also adds one point.
7. Years registered (+1 per year): For every year after your registration, you receive one Karma point, starting from the second year.

Cleansing Your Booking Karma

While negative actions can hurt your Karma, Your Price Booking offers an option to cleanse it. You can purchase Karma points to increase your score, but this action remains discreet and is not recorded in your Karma history. This allows travelers to rebuild their reputation and improve their standing on the platform without any stigma.

Transparency for hoteliers

All actions that impact your Karma are visible to hoteliers. This helps them assess the reliability of a guest and offer exclusive, personalized deals based on a traveler's Karma. It’s especially useful for hoteliers who want to provide special rates to trustworthy guests. A higher Karma increases your chances of receiving these personalized offers, which is why maintaining good Karma is in the best interest of any traveler.

Why good Karma matters

Having a strong Booking Karma not only shows that you are a responsible and reliable guest, but it also opens up more possibilities for better bookings, exclusive deals, and a smoother travel experience. As Sadhguru’s quote suggests, "Karma means action," and each of your actions on Your Price Booking contributes to your reputation and future opportunities.
