Check hotel reservations and guest check-ins
A Riga small-hotel owner ran scheduled Claude Cowork jobs that open Booking.com extra net to read arrivals and who has checked in.
Done with
What they did
Daily Cowork tasks drive Claude in Chrome into the Booking.com admin, list upcoming stays and tick who has arrived. Each run showed a permission dialog he had to click. He asked Claude to debug it. Claude had him run console commands and traced the cause in the extension. He filed a GitHub issue. The article is as much about that bug as the hotel job.
How it went
The jobs ran, but each one needed a manual Allow click. Claude found a cause and proposed fixes. The extension is closed source, so nothing was patched in the article.
Worth knowing
Plan to click Allow on every scheduled run until approvals persist. The article does not say whether that later changed.
For a Pattaya hotel
Jomtien guesthouses that live in Booking.com extra net can copy the morning arrivals pass. Stay in the room for the first week of Allow clicks. Do not let the job message a guest or change a reservation until you have watched a dry run.
Set it up
- Write a recurring Cowork job that opens Booking.com extra net, and Agoda if you use it.
- Limit the job to tomorrow's arrivals and who has already arrived.
- Send the summary only to you, with no guest messages.
- Sit through the browser permission dialog on each run until it sticks.
- Compare the summary with the desk book for a week before you trust it.
