● Make sure your subject (person, amenity) is in the centre of the image, whenever possible.
● Photos on Booking.com can be cropped in various ways, so it’s always safest to keep your subject at the centre.
● Try not to get too close to the subject. Allow enough distance for the subject to fit in the middle.
● Remember that the image you see in your extranet gallery is a pre-cropped photo.
