## Definition
A booking is an entity created when a user makes a booking request via a public listing.
**WHO CAN USE THIS FEATURE?**
**Switch users:** All logged-in users
**Non-Switch users:** All logged-in offerors.
**Non-Switch users:** All logged-in askers.
## Create a booking
The process of creating a booking request is described in detail here: [Booking request (Time-Based rendering type).](/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/commoditized-rendering-types/time-based/book-a-service-time-based.md)
## Read a booking block
All booking requests are displayed in the booking dashboard in the form of booking blocks.
Each booking block (figure 1) displays:
* The related listing’s media elements (slider)
* The booking’s total price
* The booked listing’s title
* The booking’s date
* The booking’s location
* The booking’s duration
* The booking offeror
* The message is linked to the booking request if available.
* The booking’s status (and if applicable the remaining time before expiration)
The “Open” button in the top right corner of each booking block (figure 1) redirects the user to the booking’s details.
