Recently, I signed up for the Booking.com Partner Portal. After logging out for the first time, I couldn’t log back in – even though I had successfully reset my password and verified my account via email. The error message Login failed, please try again later suggested there was a problem with my account, which was very misleading.
Before discovering the real issue, I had tried everything I could think of on my side. This included: resetting my password multiple times (following all complexity requirements), clearing the browser cache, using different browsers (Chrome and Edge), attempting to log in via multiple Booking.com portals (join.booking.com, account.booking.com, admin.booking.com), and even checking my email verification and compliance steps. None of these measures resolved the problem, and all error messages misleadingly suggested there was an issue with my account.
I reached out to Booking.com support by phone and email, but they couldn’t pinpoint the problem. For several days, I assumed my account had an issue.
The actual culprit? My ad blocker. Temporarily disabling it finally allowed me to log in.
To make it work permanently, I whitelisted these domains:
booking.comasanalytics.booking.comweb-vitals.booking.com
Lesson learned: if you run into a login issue like this, check your ad blocker first—it might be blocking something crucial. This problem kept me busy for several days and even had Booking.com support involved, so I’m sharing it here in the hope that others can find this and solve it faster.
