Booked on Stolen Land
Booking.com profits from stolen Palestinian land
Booking.com — the world's most visited travel website — has dozens of listings across illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
These include listings for glamping resorts, boutique hotels, and desert retreats on stolen Palestinian land — generating revenue that flows directly into the settlement economy. None of them disclose that the land was taken from Palestinian communities.
We found a Palestinian family whose stolen land now hosts a Booking.com listing.
Booking.com's annual shareholder meeting is on 2 June. Shareholders are voting on a proposal demanding human rights accountability. We need you to make sure they vote yes.

"When I saw the photograph for the first time, the house looked beautiful. It burns my heart. I wished it was mine. A settler is sitting on my land, making a beautiful home, renting it to tourists. This is supposed to be my land."
- Mohammad Al-Sbeih, Palestinian landowner
Meet the man whose land Booking.com is renting
Mohammad Al-Sbeih's family holds the legal title to a piece of land in the occupied West Bank. They have the documents to prove it. But they cannot access it, build on it, or farm it — because Israel stole the land to built an illegal settlement. Booking.com is profiting from their dispossession.
