What's on a Booking.com Receipt
Booking.com is a travel platform rather than the hotel itself, so your "receipt" is the booking confirmation tied to your reservation. It arrives by email and lives in your account under Bookings (or Trips), and a Booking.com receipt shows:
Confirmation and PIN numbers — the reservation's confirmation number and PIN, used to look it up or check in.
Property details — the hotel or rental's name and address, and the contact for the stay.
Dates and room — check-in and check-out, the number of nights, and the room type and occupancy.
Price breakdown — the nightly rate, taxes and any fees, plus the total for the stay.
Cancellation policy — whether it's free cancellation or non-refundable, and the deadline.
How to get a receipt from Booking.com
Wondering how to get a receipt from Booking.com? Sign in, open Bookings (or Trips in the app), and select the reservation — the confirmation page shows the full breakdown and can be printed or saved as a PDF. The confirmation email Booking.com sends when you reserve is a second copy, so searching your inbox for the property name or confirmation number is the fastest route when you can't reach your account. Booked without an account? Use the Booking.com receipt lookup with your confirmation number and PIN, both printed in the email, to open the reservation directly.
Booking.com confirmation vs the hotel's paid receipt
Here's the detail that trips up expense claims: for many reservations you pay the property directly at check-out, not Booking.com. In that case the confirmation from Booking.com proves the booking, but the itemised paid receipt — the folio showing what you were actually charged — comes from the hotel when you leave. For prepaid or "pay now" bookings, Booking.com (or the property through it) takes the payment, and the confirmation doubles as your proof of payment. If you need a formal invoice for a company, ask the property for its VAT or tax receipt, since the hotel, not the platform, is usually the one that issues it.
Using a Booking.com receipt for expenses
For business travel, a clean Booking.com expense receipt is what gets a hotel stay reimbursed. Most finance teams accept the confirmation with the property, dates, nightly rate and total, though some require the hotel's itemised folio to separate room charges from incidentals like parking or meals. To keep your report clean, save the confirmation as a PDF at the time of booking, keep the hotel checkout receipt too, and note the business purpose and travel dates. When a confirmation email has been lost and you need a legible itemised copy for a report, reconstructing it from the real reservation details keeps your record complete — a stand-in for a stay that genuinely happened, not an invented one.
