Can I redeem a Hotelgiftcard on Booking.com?

Published: 17 September 2026

No. A Hotelgiftcard cannot be used to pay for a booking on Booking.com. To redeem your card, you need to choose and book your accommodation through Hotelgiftcard.com.

When you reach the payment stage, simply enter your Hotelgiftcard details. The balance available on your card will then be put towards the cost of the reservation.

Does Booking.com accept the Hotelgiftcard?

No. The Hotelgiftcard cannot be selected as a payment option on Booking.com, and the card details cannot be entered there to pay for a reservation.

Instead, Hotelgiftcard has its own booking platform. If you want to redeem your card, search for your stay directly on Hotelgiftcard.com and complete the booking there.

This also means that a reservation already made through Booking.com cannot later be paid for using a Hotelgiftcard.

How do I make a hotel booking with a Hotelgiftcard?

To use your Hotelgiftcard:

  1. Visit Hotelgiftcard.com and go to book a hotel
  2. Search for your destination and preferred travel dates
  3. Pick an available property and room
  4. Enter your Hotelgiftcard details when you reach checkout

Your available balance will be deducted from the booking price. If there is still an amount left to pay, you can cover the remainder using one of the other payment methods shown at checkout.

Why are some hotels listed on both Booking.com and Hotelgiftcard?

Hotels are not necessarily exclusive to one booking website. The same property may therefore appear on Booking.com, Hotelgiftcard and other travel platforms.

Hotelgiftcard offers access to a worldwide network of more than 700,000 accommodations. Depending on where and when you want to travel, some of the properties in this network may also be familiar from Booking.com.

Seeing a hotel on both websites does not change how the Hotelgiftcard is redeemed. The reservation itself must be made through Hotelgiftcard.com if you want to pay with your card.
 

What hotels can I book with a Hotelgiftcard?

Hotelgiftcard offers a broad selection of accommodation, including independent hotels, well-known hotel brands and holiday parks. The selection can vary by destination and date, so the hotels shown during your search are the best indication of what can currently be booked. Whether you are organising a single night away, a weekend break, a city escape or a longer holiday, you can search for a suitable stay through Hotelgiftcard.com.

Where can I use my Hotelgiftcard?

Your Hotelgiftcard is redeemed as part of an online booking on Hotelgiftcard.com. It is not a card that you hand over at hotel reception, nor can it be applied retrospectively to a reservation made with Booking.com or another provider. Head to book a hotel to search the current range for your destination and dates. Once you have chosen your stay, you can redeem your Hotelgiftcard during checkout.
