What is MakeMyTrip for Hotels?
MakeMyTrip (MMT) is India's largest online travel agency. For most Indian hotels, it is the single biggest source of online bookings. Getting your listing right on MMT directly impacts your occupancy.
Step-by-Step: How to List Your Hotel on MakeMyTrip
1 Register on MMT Partner Central
Go to partners.makemytrip.com and click "Register as Hotel". Fill in your property name, city, and contact details. You will receive an OTP verification on your registered mobile number.
2 Complete KYC Verification
Upload the following documents:
- GSTIN certificate
- PAN card (hotel entity or proprietor)
- Cancelled cheque or bank statement
- Hotel registration / trade licence
- Property photos (minimum 10, at least 1280×960px)
KYC approval takes 3–7 working days.
3 Set Up Your Property Listing
Once approved, complete your property profile: room types, amenities, policies (check-in time, pet policy, cancellation terms), and upload all photos. Incomplete listings rank lower in MMT search results.
4 Load Rates and Availability
Set your base rates for each room type and open inventory for the dates you want to sell. Use the MMT extranet or connect a channel manager to sync rates automatically.
5 Go Live and Monitor
Once content is complete and rates are loaded, your listing goes live. Monitor your ranking, review score, and conversion rate from the MMT Partner Central dashboard.

- No watermarks, no text overlays, no heavy filters
Content Checklist
- Property description: 150+ words, mention key landmarks and distance from railway/airport
