Supreme Court requires Booking.com to disclose contact details

The Supreme Court (OGH) has ruled that the booking platform Booking.com is required to disclose the contact details of private landlords immediately after a booking. This decision stems from a lawsuit filed by the Consumer Protection Association (VKI) on behalf of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

According to the available information, Booking.com must provide the identity and contact details of its contractual partners. This is intended to increase transparency for consumers and address legal claims. The exact implementation of the ruling is still pending.
