What this section is
Room types are the products guests book (Deluxe Double, Family Suite). Physical door numbers live under Room inventory. Keep names short and consistent with Booking.com / MMT (MakeMyTrip) mapping later in Distribution.
In the owner dashboard
Open Room types under Listing / Property after you claim a stay. Same vocabulary as Help Academy.

Help cues
When to use it
Cue 1
Property go-live or adding a new category after renovation.
Cue 2
OTA listing name does not match PMS — remap starts with the type.
Cue 3
Max occupancy wrong (family of 4 booked into a 2-adult type).
Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Room types
Rooms & rates → Rooms → Room types. List existing categories or create new.
India example: Add “Deluxe King” · 1 king bed · max 2 adults + 1 child under 12. -
Set occupancy and amenities that matter
Base adults/children, bed config, and notes staff need (AC, sea view, attached bath). These drive booking validation and guest expectations.
India example: Superior Sea View · max 2+1 · note: west-facing · no extra bed. -
Align names with channels
Use the same public name you will publish on OTAs. Avoid duplicate near-identical types (“Deluxe” vs “Delux”).
India example: PMS “Deluxe” ↔ Booking.com “Deluxe Double Room” mapped in Distribution later.
Tips
Count of rooms under a type = sellable inventory when rooms are active and not OOO. · Dorm / bed-inventory properties: name types clearly (Mixed Dorm 8-bed) so Front desk does not confuse with private rooms.
Common mistakes
Creating a new type for every tiny amenity difference — keep types few; use room notes for AC wing vs quieter wing.

Example 1: Add Superior Sea View after terrace renovation
Setting
Six rooms get sea-facing windows · marketing wants a new category.
Who is involved
Owner · Distribution later
A new public product needs a PMS type before OTA mapping. Do not leave them as Deluxe with a sticky note.
| # | What staff do | What they should see |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Room types → create Superior Sea View · max 2+1 | New type ready. |
| 2 | Move rooms 201–206 from Deluxe to Superior Sea View in inventory | Deluxe count drops; Superior has 6 doors. |
| 3 | Note for Distribution: map new type on Booking.com/MMT when rates exist | No guest books the old Deluxe name for sea-view stock. |
