Create a room type with multi-bedroom setup¶
Independent properties (such as holiday homes and apartments) often have multiple bedrooms, but are booked as one unit. To accommodate this, you can create a room type with sub-rooms inside it. Use /ota/OTA_HotelInvNotif to create room types.
Before you start¶
You can only define subrooms inside a room type when its value for Room[@RoomType] is one of: Apartment, Suite, Chalet, Bungalow, Holiday home, Villa, Mobile home.
Also, the total number of beds in all subrooms must match the number of beds defined in GuestRoom/Amenities. If the number does not match, /ota/OTA_HotelSummaryNotif will return an error when you try to open the property.
To complete the task below, you need:
Request¶
HTTP request¶
POST https://supply-xml.booking.com/hotels/ota/OTA_HotelInvNotifRequest body¶
Provide an OTA_HotelInvNotifRQ object in the request body. The details for the sub-rooms are in a SubRooms element. Example:
