How Do I Set Up My Rooms (Units)

After setting up your  room categories in your account, you will be ready to add your rooms/units. If you want a room to be bookable via your booking engine, it needs to be assigned to a room type. 

Adding a room

1. Navigate to My Property > open the Rooms tab at the top. 

2. Click on add new room.

Room Number

Room numbers influence the sorting order of rooms in your calendar. However, it is not mandatory to use room numbers; simply fill in the field with a 0 to sort rooms at the top and 99 to sort them from the bottom.

Name

1. Give your room a descriptive name such as Blue Room, Lodge Suite or simply Double Room. 

2. This is not only useful for the invoice, but the name shows on your agenda as well as on the booking confirmation for the guests. 

3. This makes things easy for you and your (new) team when a guest calls and you quickly need to give an answer. 

Assign a room type

1. In the drop-down menu, you can choose a room type to assign your room to. 

2. You can assign multiple rooms to each room type, which is important as we connect room types to booking channels. 

Grey Rooms

1. In RoomRaccoon it is also possible to not assign a room type. 

2. This is a very useful feature for rooms that you don’t want to affect your occupancy such as wedding venues, meeting rooms etc. 

3. If you do not assign a room type, you can still prepare invoices and the revenue is tracked in your performance report. Yet, the room is excluded from your occupancy report and revenue report.
