Booking.com

🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Booking.com

Booking.com is the world''s largest accommodation booking platform. The company systematically lists hundreds of properties in illegal israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land, profiting from the occupation, normalizing settlements, and supporting the economy of the genocidal israil state.

1. Listing Hundreds of Properties in Illegal Settlements: Amnesty International documented in 2019 that Booking.com listed 45 hotels and vacation rentals in illegal israeli settlements, a figure that exceeded 100 accommodations by September 2025. According to UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese''s 2025 report, Booking.com''s listings in illegal settlements grew from 26 in 2018 to 70 by May 2023, and it tripled its East Jerusalem listings to 39 in the year following October 2023. The company collects up to a 23% commission on these listings.
2. Profiting from Confiscated Palestinian Land: A May 2026 report by corporate accountability group Eko revealed that Booking.com lists 41 active properties across 14 illegal israeli settlements in the West Bank, some rented for over $7,000 per night. Researchers used geographic analysis tools and archived land records to trace a property listed in the Neve Daniel settlement to land registered to the Palestinian Sbeih family from the town of al-Khader near Bethlehem. The property is marketed to tourists as "Mountain View," while Mohammed Sbeih, the grandson of the original registered landowner, has been unable to access his land for years after it was confiscated.
3. Legal Proceedings for Money Laundering and War Crimes: In November 2023, SOMO, Al-Haq, ELSC, and The Rights Forum filed a criminal complaint in the Netherlands accusing Booking.com of money laundering proceeds from renting properties in illegal settlements across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. In April 2026, the groups filed a complaint with the Dutch Court of Appeal over the public prosecutor''s delay in reaching a decision. The French Human Rights League (LDH) also filed a complaint in Paris in October 2025 against Booking.com for complicity and aggravated concealment of war crimes through "promoting occupation tourism."
4. Inclusion in the UN Database: The United Nations has included Booking.com in its database of companies operating in illegal israeli settlements since 2020. Although Booking.com may label properties as "Palestinian territory, israeli settlement," it continues to profit from the settlements and faces criminal complaints in the Netherlands for laundering proceeds. In September 2025, the UN updated its database to include 158 companies, including Booking.com.
5. "No Room for Genocide" Campaign and Global Boycott: The BDS movement lists Booking.com as a key target of its "No Room for Genocide" campaign, which demands the company end its "complicity in israil''s war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated against Indigenous Palestinians." A report by the Stop Booking Apartheid coalition documented over 50 Booking.com listings in the occupied Palestinian territory, noting that these listings "help normalize israil''s illegal presence and profit from the dispossession of Palestinian land."
6. Investor Pressure and Divestment: According to the Eko report, several Dutch pension funds have divested from Booking.com. A shareholder resolution submitted ahead of Booking Holdings'' annual meeting called on the company to provide greater transparency regarding how it identifies and addresses human rights risks connected to operations in conflict zones. In May 2026, Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp announced that the Netherlands was preparing measures to ban trade with israeli settlements.
