What is MakeMyTrip for Hotels?

India's #1 OTA — 60%+ Domestic Market Share

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.

MMT Extranet: Managing Your Listing Day-to-Day

The MMT extranet (Partner Central) is where you manage everything after going live:

Function	Where to Find It
Update rates and availability	Inventory & Rates section
View and manage bookings	Reservations tab
Update photos and content	Property Details section
View reviews and respond	Reviews & Ratings tab
Download settlement reports	Finance > Invoices
Create promotions and offers	Promotions section

Pro Tip: If you list on more than 2 OTAs, managing MMT manually becomes time-consuming. A channel manager syncs rates and inventory to MMT automatically — one update, all channels updated.

Photos and Content That Drive More Bookings

MMT's algorithm ranks listings partly on content quality. Hotels with better content get more impressions and higher conversion rates.

Photo Requirements

Minimum 10 photos; 25+ photos significantly improves conversion
Resolution: 1280×960px minimum (1920×1080px recommended)
Must include: room interior, bathroom, property exterior, common areas, dining area
No watermarks, no text overlays, no heavy filters

Content Checklist

Property description: 150+ words, mention key landmarks and distance from railway/airport
Amenities: Mark every available amenity accurately — misleading info leads to bad reviews
Room types: Create separate listings for each room category (Standard, Deluxe, Suite)
Policies: Set clear check-in/check-out time, cancellation policy, and extra bed charges
