Booking.com Search

Search Booking.com for hotels, apartments, and hostels by destination, dates, and guests.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/booking-cli-itamarzand88/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

When Claude uses it

Searches Booking.com from the terminal via cli-web-booking — find hotels, apartments, and hostels by destination, dates, and guests; get property details by slug; resolve destination names to IDs. Use when the user asks about Booking.com, hotel search, accommodation prices, property ratings, or comparing places to stay. Prefer cli-web-booking over fetching the Booking.com website.

What this skill does

cli-web-booking

Read-only Booking.com search: property search, property detail, destination autocomplete. AWS WAF protection is handled via stored cookies (auth login); autocomplete works without them. Install: pip install cli-web-booking

Commands

  • search find DESTINATION — search properties. Options: --checkin YYYY-MM-DD (default: tomorrow), --checkout YYYY-MM-DD (default: +3 days), --adults N (default 2), --rooms N (default 1), --children N, --sort [popularity|price|review_score|distance], --page N (25 results/page)
  • get SLUG — property detail by URL slug (format {country}/{name}.html, e.g. fr/lesenatparis.html). Options: --checkin, --checkout, --adults, --rooms
  • autocomplete QUERY — resolve a destination name to IDs. Options: --limit N (default 5). No auth needed
  • auth login / auth status / auth logout — manage WAF cookies

Examples

# Cheapest hotels in Paris for specific dates
cli-web-booking search find "Paris" --checkin 2026-07-01 --checkout 2026-07-04 --sort price --json

# Search → detail on top result
SLUG=$(cli-web-booking search find "Rome" --json | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['properties'][0]['slug'])")
cli-web-booking get "$SLUG" --json

# Resolve a destination to dest_id/dest_type (city, district, airport, region, landmark)
cli-web-booking autocomplete "Tokyo" --json

JSON output

Add --json for structured output. Envelopes:

  • search find: {"success": true, "destination", "checkin", "checkout", "count", "properties": [{title, slug, score, score_label, review_count, price, price_amount, address, distance, property_type}]}
  • get: {"success": true, "property": {name, description, score, review_count, full_address, country, postal_code, property_type, image_url, url, amenities}}
  • autocomplete: {"success": true, "query", "results": [{dest_id, dest_type, title, label}]}
  • Errors: {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}

Auth

Search and property detail need an aws-waf-token cookie. Run cli-web-booking auth login once — it opens a browser to solve the WAF challenge and saves cookies. Check with auth status, clear with auth logout. If search starts failing with WAF errors, re-run auth login.

Utilities

cli-web-booking doctor [--json] diagnoses local setup (install, auth, dependencies). cli-web-booking mcp-serve exposes the commands as MCP tools over stdio.

Agent tips

  • Prices come back in the locale's currency; address may be empty for some properties.
  • Read-only: search, detail, and destination lookup only — no reservations.
