Booker name - Enter first and last name.

Booker email - A booker is added to this booking using this email address. Important: This booker must already be in the system. If you have not done a booker import before the reservation import, this will not work.

Include the VAT and add-ons and exclude the tourist tax and additional add-ons such as cleaning costs or the reservation deposit.
