How to List Your Hotel on MakeMyTrip: A Step-by-Step Guide

Why List on MakeMyTrip?

MakeMyTrip is among the most-used travel platforms in India, carrying enormous volumes of domestic hotel bookings. For most Indian properties, being visible there is not optional - it is where a large share of online travellers are searching and booking.

Getting listed puts your rooms in front of that audience. But it also starts a clock: from the moment you sell on MakeMyTrip and anywhere else, the two need to stay in sync, or you will eventually sell the same room twice. We will come back to that, because it is the part most guides skip.

What You Will Need Before You Start

Registration goes faster if you have your details ready in advance. Typically you will want:

• Property details - name, address, contact information, and number of rooms.
• Room information - your room types, occupancy, and the rates you want to offer.
• Business and identity documents - the platform will ask for verification documents; have your standard business papers to hand.
• Bank details - for receiving payouts from bookings.
• Good photos - clear, real photos of your rooms and property, which strongly affect how well your listing performs.

Exact requirements vary and can change, so check what the platform asks for at the time you register.

The Listing Process, Step by Step

The broad shape of listing on MakeMyTrip looks like this. The precise screens change over time, so use this as a map rather than a turn-by-turn script:

• Register your property on MakeMyTrip's hotel partner platform, providing your basic details.
• Complete verification by submitting the documents the platform requests.
• Set up your rooms and rates - define each room type, its price, and its availability.
• Add photos and a description that make your property appealing to travellers.
• Agree the commercial terms, including the commission structure.
• Go live once the platform approves your listing, and your rooms become bookable.

The Part Most Hoteliers Get Wrong

Here is what happens next, and why so many new listings cause problems. The day your MakeMyTrip listing goes live, you are now selling the same rooms on MakeMyTrip and on every other platform you use - Booking.com, Goibibo, your own website, and so on.

Manage those by hand and you have created a double-booking machine. A room sells on MakeMyTrip; it stays available on the others until you log in and close it. During that gap, someone books it again elsewhere. Now you have two guests and one room - and one of them will leave a review you do not want.

This is precisely the problem a channel manager solves. It connects MakeMyTrip and all your other platforms to one dashboard, so a room sold on any of them is instantly blocked on the rest. You set your rates and availability once, and MakeMyTrip stays in sync automatically. Getting listed is step one; staying in sync is what keeps the listing from hurting you.
