Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside Booking Holdings can change that.

Tips for advocating

  • Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
  • Reference the lifted sanctions.
  • Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Booking.com works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Booking.com directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
