How to correctly edit the Google Maps URL

The function of the Google Map URL is to define where the "Show on Map" links send the guest to if they click them from the booking engine or from the confirmation emails.

This URL does not control the map that is embedded on the booking engine. If the map embedded in your booking engine points at an incorrect location, please contact support so they can amend the coordinates for that map.

The correct URL to input in the Google Map URL is found by following these instructions:

  1. Open Google Maps from your browser.

  2. Search for your property using the search bar in the top left.

  3. Once a red marker is pointing at your property, a menu will appear on the left.

  4. Click the option " Share " in the menu on the left.

  5. Click on " Copy Link " in the window that appears (make sure that you are in the tab "Send a link"). Please note : do not use the code or the link in "Embed map".

  6. Paste this link in the Google Map URL field in the booking button extranet.
