This disclosure explains our policy and commitments regarding distribution of Book GCC Trip rates and availability through Google's hotel-search surfaces — such as Google Hotel Center, Google Free Booking Links, and Google Hotel Ads. As of the date of this document, this integration is not currently active or live in production: no booking made through Book GCC Trip today has been routed through, or influenced by, a Google hotel-search surface.
We publish this disclosure now, ahead of any activation, so that the standards we intend to apply are documented and available in advance. It should be read as "here is our policy and commitment for if and when this integration is live," not as a description of something currently happening. We will update this page when, and if, that changes.
Book GCC Trip has built technical capability related to distributing rates through Google's hotel-search surfaces, but this integration is not currently active or live in production. Whether and when it is switched on is a business decision that has not yet been made. We do not claim, and this page should not be read as claiming, any Google certification, approval, or partnership status.
If and when this integration is activated, Book GCC Trip rates and availability may appear through Google Hotel Center, Google Free Booking Links, and/or Google Hotel Ads, alongside listings from other booking sites for the same hotel. Until then, nothing in our current rate or availability data is being supplied to Google for hotel-search display purposes.
If this integration is activated in the future, a guest who finds Book GCC Trip availability on a Google hotel-search surface and selects it would be redirected to the Book GCC Trip website to complete the booking. Google itself would not process the payment or hold the reservation — the booking would be completed on our own checkout, subject to the same Terms and Conditions, Payment Policy, and Cancellation & Refund Policy that apply to a booking made by visiting Book GCC Trip directly.
Any booking completed after being redirected from a Google hotel-search surface would form the same booking relationship described in our Terms and Conditions, on exactly the same terms as a booking made by visiting Book GCC Trip directly. Google would act only as a distribution and discovery channel that helped a guest find the listing — it would not be the hotel supplier, the merchant of record, or a party to the booking contract, unless a future update to this disclosure states otherwise.
If this integration is activated, the price shown to Google for a given hotel, room, and date would be drawn from the same pricing engine that determines the price shown on the Book GCC Trip website and at checkout — not a separately set, potentially lower, "headline" price used only to attract clicks from Google. This mirrors the price-consistency commitment in our Price Accuracy Policy, which already governs how prices stay consistent across our own search results, hotel pages, and checkout, and which would extend to any activated distribution partner on the same basis.
Our Taxes & Fees Disclosure explains that the online Total Price includes the base rate plus any taxes and fees we include in that total, while certain mandatory charges (such as UAE tourism or municipality fees) are instead disclosed as Property-Payable Charges collected directly by the hotel and are never folded into the online total. If this integration is activated, that same distinction would apply identically to any price fed to Google or another distribution partner as it does to a direct booking on our own site — a Property-Payable Charge would never be hidden or silently absorbed into a lower headline price shown on a distribution surface.
All Book GCC Trip bookings are non-refundable as platform policy, subject to the two narrow exceptions described in our Cancellation & Refund Policy. If this integration is activated, that same non-refundable status would be disclosed clearly on any Google listing, exactly as it is disclosed on our own site before payment — consistent with Google's own requirement that a refundable or non-refundable status be shown clearly to the guest, and regardless of which channel (Google or Book GCC Trip directly) the guest used to reach checkout.
If and when we activate distribution through Google's hotel-search surfaces, we will update this page — including the "Last updated" date above — to reflect the integration's actual, live status and any operational detail that becomes relevant at that point. Until that update is made, this page should be read as describing our forward-looking policy, not a live system.
