Creating a room type
Create room types to display your available options. Set each room’s name, capacity, pricing, and amenities so guests can choose the option that best suits their needs.
To create a room type:
Go to Room Types in your site's dashboard.
Click + Create Room Type.
Select the relevant room type from the Kind of room drop-down then click Next.
Tip: If you don’t see your property type in the list, pick the one most similar to your offering. Next, you can enter your preferred name in the Display name field.
Display name: Enter the room name your customers see when they search for available rooms on your site.
Adult capacity: Enter the number of adults the room can accommodate.
Total capacity: Enter the total number of people the room can accommodate, including children.
Number of rooms: Enter how many of this room type your property offers.
Revenue Accounts: Choose Accommodation from the drop-down (you can update this later if necessary).
Important:
If you're creating a room type for an entire property or unit (e.g. villa, cottage, campsite), enter the total number of properties or units in the Number of rooms field. For example, if you offer 2 villas with the same price and capacity, enter 2.
Click Next.

Base price (per night): We recommend you enter a value as high as your most expensive rate.
Set base price for what occupancy?: Choose the relevant number of guests that your base price applies to from the drop-down. The options you see depend on the details you enter in the steps above.

. Choose whether the price increases or decreases by the percentage amount.
Fixed amount: Click the Fixed amount icon

FAQs
Click below for answers to common questions about setting up room types.
Can I manage multiple villas with different capacities and rates as separate properties?
Yes. If you have several villas with different guest capacities (e.g. some for 4 guests and others for 8), you can create each type as a separate property or room type. Enter the correct capacity and number of units for each one. You can also set different rates for each villa type, letting you manage pricing and availability individually.
Can I edit my room types?
Yes, you can update any details for your room types at any time from the Room Types tab in your dashboard.
Can I customize the product text so it matches my property type instead of “room”?
Yes. After creating your accommodations, you can update the default text (such as "Add room") to match the type of property you offer.
