Booking.com Late Escape Deals: At Least 15% Off Year-End Stays, Book by 7 January
·
The wait is over. Booking.com’s Late Escape Deals have been bookable since 3 September, but the first qualifying night was 1 October. That window is now open: any stay from today until 7 January 2027 can carry at least 15% off the room price at participating properties worldwide — the whole year-end season, Christmas and New Year included.
What you get
At least 15% off the room price at participating properties. The discount is applied to the price before taxes and charges are added, so the total on your confirmation will not drop by quite the headline percentage. Some properties go further than 15%; how far is not published in advance, so plan against the floor.
Where it applies
Worldwide, but only at properties marked with a “Late Escape Deal” label. No label, no discount, however good the rate looks. You meet the label while you search — there is no list to check in advance.
The one thing that can cancel it
Modifying a booking may cause the discount to be withdrawn. If your dates are still moving, settle them before you book. A changed reservation can end up at the full rate.

How it fits a trip you are flying on points
The seat is covered by Avios; the bed is the part you still pay cash for. Money off the hotel bill is money off what the trip costs you, with nothing traded away on the other side. Both windows close on 7 January 2027, so the closer the holidays get, the fewer qualifying nights are left.
As always, look at the underlying rate before admiring the percentage. Fifteen per cent off a price that moved up last week is not a saving.
