Ich habe gerade die Bestätigung für unsere Flugbuchung per E-Mail erhalten.
I just received the confirmation for our flight booking by email.
The noun 'Buchung' (booking/entry) is derived from the verb 'buchen' (to book/post). The ending '-ung' turns the action of booking or posting into a noun. Such nouns are always feminine, so it is 'die Buchung' (the booking/entry).
Die Buchung des Hotels war online sehr einfach.
The booking of the hotel was very easy online.
The context makes the meaning clear. If it is about travel, hotels, or tickets, a reservation is meant. If it is about finances, accounts, or invoices, it means an entry in accounting.

In a travel context, typical verbs are 'eine Buchung vornehmen/tätigen' (to make a booking), 'bestätigen' (to confirm), 'ändern' (to change), or 'stornieren' (to cancel). People often speak of a 'Flugbuchung' (flight booking), 'Hotelbuchung' (hotel booking), or 'Ticketbuchung' (ticket booking).

In the context of accounting, 'Buchung' (entry/posting) is a technical term. Here, it refers to the correct recording of business transactions in a company's books.

registration / reception
'die Anmeldung' and 'die Buchung' can both happen before an appointment, a trip, or an event. An 'Anmeldung' means that you officially register, for example for a course, an exam, or a membership. A 'Buchung' means that you firmly order or buy a service, for example a flight, a hotel room, or an admission ticket. The words are easy to confuse because with both, you may receive a confirmation. As a guide: you register to take part in something, but you book a trip, a room, or a ticket.
