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.

Note : Please provide the bed type amenities in the subrooms section. The ones set on room level in GuestRoom/Amenities for multi-bedroom setup are not processed.

To complete the task below, you need:

property ID

Kitchen(ette) required¶

Room types in the following Property Class Types require a kitchen(ette) to become open and bookable:

Apartment (3)
Aparthotel (5000)
Condominium (8, but changed to 3)

For room types in the following Property Class Types a kitchen(ette) is highly recommended:

Holiday home (5006)
Holiday park (5009)
Lodge (22)
Villa (35)
