- Access your Booking.com account
- Go to the 'Bookings and trips' section in the top right corner

- Check if your booking is changeable. If the property allows modifications, you'll see an option to "Modify booking"
- Select the new number of guests and confirm the change
- If you don't see the option to modify your trip, the property may have restrictions. Click on "Contact property" or call them directly to request changes
Once submitted, Booking.com will receive your modification request and evaluate whether it's possible to approve based on the property's guest capacity.

Important considerations when changing guest numbers
- Property capacity: Changes depend on the property's guest limits and availability
- Price changes: The total price may change if you increase the number of guests
- Approval required: All changes must be approved by the platform and the host before they take effect
- Contact support: For any issues or if your change request is denied, contact the platform's support team for assistance
What if my request to change the number of guests is denied?
If your modification request is not approved, it's usually due to the property's guest capacity limits or the host's booking policies. In this case, you have the following options:
- Contact the property directly through the platform to discuss alternative solutions
- Consider canceling your current reservation and booking a different property that accommodates your new guest count (be aware of cancellation policies)
- Reach out to the booking platform's customer support team for additional assistance
How long does it take to modify the number of guests?
The time it takes to process your guest modification request varies by platform and property:
- Booking.com: Modifications are typically processed within hours to 1-2 business days
- Airbnb: Change requests are usually reviewed within 24-48 hours
- Holidu: Requests are reviewed promptly, and you'll receive a notification once a decision has been made
It's best to submit your request as soon as possible to allow adequate time for approval before your check-in date.
