Proceedings brought by European hotels against Booking.com

4 Feb 2026, estimated reading time 1 minute

At the end of last week, on behalf of the Hotel Claims Alliance Foundation, we initiated a mass damages action against Booking.com on behalf of thousands of European hotels.

This case concerns the parity clauses imposed by Booking on hotels, Booking's abuse of its economic position and Booking's violations of the Digital Markets Act. The damage suffered by these hotels as a result is expected to run into hundreds of millions of euros.

This initiative is supported by, among others, the European hotel association HOTREC and more than 30 national hotel associations. See also HOTREC's announcement about this case on its website.
