Currently the booking.com integration only allows infants no = 0 and yes = 10
In some countries maximum occupancy is legally enforced and includes infants,

So eg a studio that allows 2 people can be 1 adult plus infant, but not 2 adults plus infant

So it would be yes to infants, but no to over occupancy. 

Please change to be able to say yes to infants but eg max 1, and no over occupancy

If is can untick the exclude infants from total, that would work

This is an excellent request, and a challenge to provide.  For all other major listing sites, 'infant applicability' is a yes or no. BDC does not offer that. Instead, we have to provide a number that no other OTA supports.  Since we have to simplify the setup UI as much as possible for everyone's sake, the decision was made to send 0 for no, and 10 for yes, instead of adding a BDC-only field for the number of infants.

 

Should this decision be revisited?  This is the forum to help us decide.
