How to set it up

Register your lodging with one of these aggregators:

When connecting to the aggregator, accommodation providers can also display information about room availability and pricing for specific dates.

Property cards can appear even for properties that aren't connected to the aggregator. These cards will only include general information about the business, without details on prices or available rooms.

To show a card with property details:

  1. Go to the Organizations page.
  2. Click the Add button and fill in the fields.

You can also link a company that already has a profile on Yandex to your website. To do this, go to the company profile, open the editing form, and in the Site field, add the site you want to link.

For integration as an aggregator:

  1. To connect, please email us at: seyahat@yandex-team.com.

  2. Prepare a set of HTTP APIs containing hotel and booking price information that the Yandex robot can download.

Make sure the data the robot retrieves via these resources is always up-to-date.

Requirements for aggregators

  • The aggregator is responsible for ensuring that the data is accurate and the offers are relevant. They are also accountable for spreading illegal information. If the terms are violated, Yandex reserves the right not to use the site's data for displaying answers in search results.

  • The offer conditions shown in search results are final and can't change after the booking is made.

  • Instant booking: the user instantly receives a confirmation after making a booking. The booking is made directly on the partner site, without other sites opening, after the user enters the required information on the partner site. The booking is completed with the partner's confirmation, which is also made on the partner site.

    Instant booking shouldn't require the user to go to other sites or communicate with the partner in chats, over the phone, or via other channels to finalize or confirm the booking.

  • The aggregator provides support to users through the functionality implemented on the site or specifies the aggregator's contact details on the site.

  • The partner site doesn't violate the rights of third parties. Specifically, it doesn't replicate or copy any sites of rights holders.

  • The aggregator is a legal entity or sole proprietor.

  • The aggregator's activities comply with the law of the country where it is registered.

  • The aggregator must have a desktop version and a mobile version.

  • The aggregator must provide all necessary functionality for the user to view the information about a lodging and for processing advance payments.

For popular destinations without a specified date, aggregator prices can appear directly after the search. For less popular destinations, users will need to specify check-in and check-out dates.
