Add your room types under Settings > Rooms — a room type groups similar rooms together, such as One Bedroom, Two Bedroom or Suite. You'll need to add a room type before you can add rooms, so this is one of the first steps in setting up your property.
Add a Room Type
Go to Settings > Rooms > Room types & rooms.
Click + Add room type.
Enter the details:
Room type name — for example, One Bedroom Suite
Rate name — the rate plan created with this room type
Base rate — the standard nightly rate
Extra guest rate — the charge per additional guest (enter 0 if not applicable)
Guests included in occupancy — the number of guests covered by the nightly rate
Tick Exclude from occupancy if you don't want this room type counted in your occupancy figures and reports — useful for non-accommodation spaces like function rooms or holding rooms.
Click Add room type. The room type now appears in the list in Settings, and shows on the Grid once you add rooms to it.
Making the room type bookable online
A new room type starts unmapped to your Channel Manager, so it can't be booked online until you map it. To connect it to your channels and Booking Engine, follow the guidance from step 2 of Booking Engine — Add rate plan/multiple rate plans.
💡 Tip If you want a room type to stay intentionally offline — for example an event-specific room type, or one being prepared for future availability — simply don't map it to your Channel Manager or Booking Engine. You can still book it manually in Preno
