How to Add Room Types to Your WordPress Hotel Booking Plugin

Learn how to configure Room Categories and individual Units to manage your accommodation inventory without conflicts.

1. Create Room Categories

Room Categories act as marketing containers defining the properties of a group of identical rooms (e.g. “Double Deluxe”). To add one:

1. Go to Hotel Booking > Room Types > Add New.
2. Input a title, description, and base night rate.
3. Define capacity boundaries: Max Adults, Max Children, and total capacity limits.
4. Check appropriate amenities (e.g. WiFi, Pool, Air Conditioning).
5. Publish the category.

2. Add Individual Room Inventory

Once categories are established, add the physical rooms:

1. Go to Hotel Booking > Rooms > Add New.
2. Enter the room name or number (e.g. “Room 101”).
3. Select the parent Room Category from the dropdown.
4. Publish the room to allocate it to the active availability pool.
