Preparing a guest invoice

Last updated: 3 August 2026

The guest invoice draft is based on the reservation and Booking payout record. Before issuing an official document, check the recipient, source amount, rate and tax date together.

Checklist

  • Compare the guest's name, email and phone number with the reservation.
  • Confirm the reservation number and check-in/out dates.
  • Match the source amount to the relevant Booking payout line.
  • Confirm that the locked Booking rate comes from the payout record.
  • Verify VAT and accommodation-tax rates against the rules effective on the tax-event date.

Draft versus official document

The panel preview is an invoice draft, not an official fiscal document. Correct reservation or customer data before issuing it. Ask your accountant if the applicable rate or taxpayer position is uncertain.

Can the rate be changed?

No. The guest invoice uses Booking's recorded conversion rate for that payout. A rate selected for the hotel payout invoice does not affect this draft.
