According to the Hotels.com Rewards Terms & Conditions:
"You will collect 1 night for every night you stay at an eligible Hotels.com Rewards property."
What is important here is that "you" is defined as the following:
"The term 'you' refers to the customer visiting the Website and/or booking a reservation through us on this Website, or through our customer service agents."

"You" means you...not your friends and family.
Implemented practice matters, and in this regard it need not be a duplicate of policy as articulated above. In practice, it's rather systematic to get stay credit in Hotels.com program even for reservations made in the name of other guests while logged into hotels.com. Combine this with cashback portal use and this program is rather awesome in practice for consumers.
