Ready to list your hotel on MakeMyTrip and win more bookings across India? 🇮🇳 This quick start guide shows you exactly how. MakeMyTrip is one of the country’s most visited travel platforms. Its partner tools also cover Goibibo. 🚀
Many hoteliers wait because the process feels long. It is simpler than you think. You need clean documents, sharp photos and a clear rate plan. ✅
In this guide, you will learn each step in plain words. We also share tips on content, pricing and channel management. Let’s begin. 🎯
🌟 Why You Should List Your Hotel on MakeMyTrip
Indian travellers now research, compare and book stays on their phones. They check photos, prices and reviews within minutes. A strong listing helps you appear in those searches. 📱
Here are the key benefits:
- 🌐 Large domestic audience: reach leisure, family and business travellers
- 📊 One dashboard: manage rooms, rates and bookings in one place
- 📲 Partner app: update your inventory from anywhere
- 🎁 Promotions: run offers during slow and peak periods
- ⭐ Guest reviews: build trust with real feedback
Smart owners list your hotel on MakeMyTrip as part of a wider sales mix. They never rely on one source of bookings. 🧠
🏢 Which Hotels Can Apply?
Many property types can join the platform. This includes budget hotels, boutique stays, business hotels and resorts. 🏖️ Guesthouses and homestays can often apply too.
Whatever your size, the basics stay the same. You need a valid business, a real address and accurate room details. 📍
Before you list your hotel on MakeMyTrip, decide who your ideal guest is. A city business hotel needs different content than a hill resort. Match your photos and words to that guest. 🎯

Good preparation prevents delays. Keep these items ready before you register. 🗂️
- 🏢 Legal business name and complete hotel address
- 📞 Active phone number and business email

🪜 Step-by-Step: How to List Your Hotel on MakeMyTrip
Screens change from time to time. The flow stays broadly the same. Follow these steps in order.
1️⃣ Begin Your Registration
Open the MakeMyTrip partner registration page or the partner app. Select the option to list a property. Enter your name, phone number and email. 🖱️
The app was earlier called Ingo-MMT. Today it is named Connect by MakeMyTrip. You may see both names online. 📲
To list your hotel on MakeMyTrip, pick the correct property type. Then add your hotel’s name and a short introduction. 🏨
2️⃣ Confirm Your Location
Enter the complete address. Check the map pin closely. Guests navigate using it, so accuracy matters. 📍
3️⃣ Add Core Property Details
Fill in your hotel category, total rooms and year of opening. Mention key facilities such as a restaurant, banquet or gym. Keep all details truthful and consistent. 📝
4️⃣ Submit Your Documents
Upload business and identity proofs as requested. Tax and bank details are usually needed too. The team uses them to verify your property. 🧾
A representative may call you for confirmation. Pick up calls and reply to emails fast. Quick responses shorten approval time. 📞
5️⃣ Read the Contract
Read the partner agreement fully before accepting. Check commission, payout timelines and cancellation terms. Seek advice if any clause is unclear. ⚖️
6️⃣ Build Your Room Categories
Create each room type with a clear name and size. Add bed type, maximum occupancy and inclusions. Simple names like Deluxe Room or Suite work best. 🛏️
7️⃣ Add Amenities and House Rules
List Wi-Fi, parking, air conditioning, breakfast and power backup. Add check-in and check-out times. State your ID, pet and extra guest rules. 📜
Clear rules prevent arguments at check-in. They also build guest trust. 🤝
8️⃣ Upload Strong Photos
Photos drive clicks. When you list your hotel on MakeMyTrip, upload bright, sharp pictures of every room type. Add shots of the bathroom, lobby and dining space. 📸
Skip heavy filters and borrowed images. Guests should find exactly what they saw. ✅
9️⃣ Set Rates and Open Availability
Enter base rates for each room category. Open dates in your calendar. Review nearby competitors before you decide on prices. 💵
Overpricing lowers your visibility. Underpricing cuts your profit. Our competitor rate analyzer helps you find a fair balance. 📈
🔟 Submit and Go Live
Do one final review of every section. Submit your listing for approval. Once approved, guests can book your rooms. 🎉
That is how you list your hotel on MakeMyTrip from start to finish.

Going live is only the beginning. After you list your hotel on MakeMyTrip, review the page every week. A polished page earns more clicks and bookings. 🏆
📝 Tell Your Story

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many hotels lose bookings because of small errors. Watch out for these. 🚫
- ❌ Dark or blurry photos
- ❌ Wrong map pin
- ❌ Ignoring contract terms
- ❌ Different rates on different channels
- ❌ Leaving sold-out dates open
- ❌ Ignoring guest reviews and messages
Fix these early, and you will list your hotel on MakeMyTrip with confidence. 💪
💳 Understanding Commission and Payouts
MakeMyTrip earns a commission on completed bookings. The rate depends on your agreement and market. Read the terms before you list your hotel on MakeMyTrip. 📑
Payment models can vary by booking type. Know when and how you get paid. Keep clean records for tax and audit needs. 🧮
Treat commission as a normal business cost. Compare it with the cost of ads or agent fees. Then decide how many rooms to place on the channel. 📊
Never raise only the OTA rate to cover commission. Rate parity matters. Instead, give direct guests small perks like late checkout. 🎁

- 📅 Week 1: collect documents, photos and room details
- 📅 Week 2: register, upload proofs and add policies

- 📅 Week 4: track bookings, answer reviews and tune rates

🎊 Seasonal Tips for Indian Hotels
Demand in India moves with festivals, weddings and school holidays. Diwali, summer breaks and long weekends lift searches. Plan your rates and offers ahead of these dates. 📆
Once you list your hotel on MakeMyTrip, check demand early each month. Raise rates gradually as dates fill up. Close low-value deals when rooms are selling fast. 📈
In slow months, target local and corporate guests. Offer small packages such as breakfast or late checkout. Protect your minimum rate. ⚖️
🔄 Why You Need a Channel Manager
After you list your hotel on MakeMyTrip, you will likely join more OTAs. Updating every extranet by hand becomes slow and risky. 😓

This mix gives you reach from OTAs and profit from direct sales. 💎
