Could someone explain a bit how this works?

The first set of rules looks for elements in a webpage with a matching ID/class name, and removes them. The second set removes URL parameters, which are used all the time for example in referral links, like on Amazon. It looks a bit like &tracking-id="xxxx" at the end of a link. Those rules will remove those as well, providing a clean link without additional tracking that Booking.com uses to identify where you came from, maybe what ad you clicked on, etc etc
what about .js_sr_persuation_msg from tfa?

Haven't noticed that in my searches yet so haven't needed to add any blocking for that persuasion message. Do you still see it with these filters?

they still there, i just tested.
That’s great. Thanks Obama.
These rules would be a great addition to the low-value content filters we already maintain at https://letsblock.it, and I think a lot of users would benefit from having such a template available.
I don't use booking.com a lot, but would you be interested in contributing to the project and maintain this template when you find rules to update?
Hit me up if you have any question.
You can copy and paste them directly in your ublock config (ublock options -> My filters)
Apart from these, I use some additional ublock filters to block some of their tracking that I am not ok with. Note that these may result in you receiving some higher prices by removing some referrer info. If you do see that happening, feel free to remove the offending config if the price difference is significant for you. I usually don't bother for differences of < $10 (price displayed on the search page vs the property page).
