The Configuration tab allows you to set configuration details such as occupancy rules and bed type.

•When creating a room type, you must specify the room type name and code.

•You must also indicate how the room will be priced when it is used in a booking and assign a distributed room category to it.

Once a room type has created and activated, you cannot modify the room type status and pricing mode.

Occupancy Rules

The Occupancy Rules allow you to define the number of adults and children that can stay in the room type.

Occupancy rules are the basis for pricing the room in a rate plan so it is important that you define them correctly.

Bed Type Information

Bed Type Information allows you to set the styles and numbers of beds available for a particular room type. A single room type may have more than one style of bed available: both a double bed and twin beds, for example.

The total number of all beds must not exceed the maximum occupancy for the room type.

The fields in the Description tab allow you to set the detailed description information for the room type.

You can modify the information as required.

Multilingual Descriptions per Channel per Period

You can add one or more room type descriptions in different languages, which can be available to one or more distribution channels.

Note:     The languages available depend on the way in which the property has been configured.

The amount of text you can enter for a multilingual description depends on the restrictions of the channel.

Although you can enter multilingual descriptions, certain channels may only support descriptions in English. Therefore, you must at least enter content in English in order to minimise any distribution issues. Enter descriptions in the following order:

1.English

2.The default property language

3.Other languages

In general, amenities are features of a room type that provide additional physical comfort to a guest; air conditioning, Jacuzzi baths, and audiovisual equipment, for example.

Add amenities to a room type by selecting them for the list. Adding amenities is optional.

The Mappings tab allows you define the distributed property code room type mapping for each distribution channel.

The distributed code for the Amadeus GDS is defined when the property is created and you cannot modify the existing mapping.

For other channels, you can add or delete the mappings as required.

Note:      For some channels, the mapping may be generated automatically, and you will not be able to modify or delete it.
